One office in Santa Monica. Families across the Westside.
Pediatric dental care for Santa Monica families
For families in Downtown Santa Monica, Ocean Park, Sunset Park, and the city’s other neighborhoods, choosing a dental home means having a familiar place to bring questions as a child grows. Our Santa Monica office brings pediatric dental services and orthodontic care into one practice, so parents can learn about both without starting their search over at each stage.
Use our 15th Street address when planning your visit; this service area page is a guide to the community we serve, while our office page provides contact details. If you are arranging a visit around school pickup, a caregiver’s work schedule, or an infant’s routine, ask the team about the expected appointment length before choosing a time.
Make the most of your appointment
Start with the reason for your visit: a first examination, a routine cleaning, a concern about a tooth, or a question about alignment. Tell us about previous dental experiences and anything that helps your child feel comfortable. That conversation gives the team useful context before you arrive.
Get to know pediatric dentists Dr. Bernard Gross and Dr. Michael Kleinman, and orthodontist Dr. Gary Saltz. Their profiles explain their backgrounds and approach to care.

Pediatric dentistry
For a growing child, routine care is a chance to discuss brushing, changing teeth, and any concerns you have noticed at home. Explore our pediatric dentistry page for exams, cleanings, sealants, preventive treatments, and fillings.
Orthodontics & Invisalign
Our Santa Monica practice also offers orthodontic care. Ask about an evaluation if you have questions about spacing, crowding, or bite development; the orthodontist can explain whether observation or treatment is appropriate.
Your child’s first visit
See how we introduce children to the office, what parents can prepare, and how to share comfort needs with the team. Knowing what to expect can make planning easier for everyone.
Questions from Santa Monica families
Is this the same location as your Santa Monica office?
Yes. Visits take place at 1304 15th Street, Suite 206, Santa Monica, CA 90404. This page introduces care for Santa Monica residents; our office page has the contact information you need to plan your arrival.
Can I discuss dental care and orthodontics with the same practice?
Yes. The practice offers both pediatric dentistry and orthodontics. Tell the scheduling team what you want to discuss so they can arrange the appropriate appointment; separate visits may be needed.
What should we bring to a first appointment?
Ask which new-patient forms are needed, and have your child’s medical and dental history, medication information, and insurance details available. Contact us about sharing recent dental records or X-rays before the visit. Our first-visit page explains what to expect.
How do we check insurance and appointment availability?
Call 310-362-6529 or use the appointment request page. Share your plan details and the type of care you are seeking. Confirm coverage, possible out-of-pocket costs, and the appointment time with the team; submitting a request does not by itself confirm a booking.
