A Santa Monica dental home for West Los Angeles
West Los Angeles covers a variety of neighborhoods and daily routines, so convenience depends on where you begin your trip. Whether your family is closer to the Sawtelle area or the Santa Monica border, our office on 15th Street is the destination for all appointments. We serve West Los Angeles residents from that Santa Monica location.
When comparing pediatric dentists near West Los Angeles, consider the visits your family may need over time, as well as the first drive. Ask how long a new-patient appointment is expected to take and how follow-up visits are scheduled. Use current navigation from your own starting point, since east-west traffic can change the practical route.
Make the most of your appointment
If your child already has a dentist and you are considering a change, let us know why. You may be looking for support with dental anxiety, clearer explanations of care, or a practice that also offers orthodontics. Ask the team how to share existing records so the doctor can understand your child’s history.
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
Preventive visits give West Los Angeles parents a place to ask about daily habits, newly erupting teeth, and changes they have noticed. Our pediatric services include exams, cleanings, sealants, and care for cavities when needed.
Orthodontics & Invisalign
A family considering braces or Invisalign can start by learning about the available options and the expected follow-up schedule. An evaluation determines which choices fit the patient’s teeth and bite.

Questions from West Los Angeles families
Do you have a pediatric dental office in West Los Angeles?
Our office is in Santa Monica at 1304 15th Street, Suite 206. We welcome West Los Angeles families there for pediatric dentistry and orthodontic care.
What should I ask when transferring my child’s dental care?
Ask how to send prior dental records, which forms to complete, and what information about past treatment is useful. Tell us about your child’s comfort needs and any current concern when requesting the appointment.
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.
