What Sets Us Apart
At Santa Monica Dentistry for Children, we’re honored to be trusted by local pediatricians and recommended by families throughout the Santa Monica community. Our reputation has been built on kindness, respect, and a commitment to tailoring care to every child’s unique needs. From the moment you walk through our doors, you’ll feel the difference of a truly child-centered practice.
A Unified, All-Female Team
We are proud to be an all-female office offering both pediatric dentistry and orthodontics under one roof. This integrated model allows our doctors to collaborate seamlessly, ensuring your child receives consistent, coordinated care at every stage of their dental and orthodontic development.
A Comforting Environment Designed for Kids
Our office layout is intentionally crafted with children’s comfort and confidence in mind.
- Open-bay concept: Perfect for siblings or children who feel more secure when they can see others around them. Cleanings and routine checkups take place in a bright, friendly space that encourages relaxed interaction.
- Private treatment rooms: For procedures requiring more focus or reduced stimulation, we offer quiet, private rooms equipped with TV screens on the ceiling. Kids can enjoy a movie of their choice while we provide gentle care.
- Family-friendly experience: Parents are always welcome to stay with their children during every part of the visit.
Safe and Supportive Treatment Options
We understand that every child has different needs and comfort levels. For those who require additional support, we offer:
- Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to ease mild anxiety
- IV sedation administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist for children with more significant treatment or behavioral needs
Our priority is always your child’s safety, comfort, and well-being.
Rewards, Encouragement, and Joyful Endings
We want every visit to end on a positive note. Children can choose from a variety of toys and stickers, and each patient receives a goodie bag filled with surprises like a toothbrush, floss, floss holder, toothpaste, a brushing timer, and xylitol-sweetened lollipops. These small touches help make dental visits something kids can look forward to.
Here When You Need Us
Dental emergencies don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we. Our team is available during evenings and weekends to support your family when unexpected issues arise. We are also in-network with most PPO insurance plans, making high-quality care more convenient and accessible.
We Treat You Like Family, Because You Are
At Santa Monica Dentistry for Children, we truly consider our patients and their parents part of our extended family. We are committed to building long-term relationships based on trust, communication, and compassionate care.
We can’t wait to welcome you into our practice and help your child grow with a healthy, confident smile.
