Why Choose Us
The Only World Class Pediatric Dental Office in Manhattan Beach
From the moment you and your family step inside our one of a kind jungle themed pediatric dental office, you’ll feel a warm welcome, driven by Dr. Holden’s dream to give every patient a wonderful dental experience.
Cleanings You Can Count On
Preventive care begins early, and our team takes pride in providing thorough, gentle cleanings for children at every stage, from their very first tooth through their teenage years. We are the only pediatric dental practice in Manhattan Beach to provide dental cleanings by licensed Registered Dental Hygienists who specialize in working with children. Their expertise ensures a comfortable visit, personalized education, and age-appropriate tips so your child learns how to keep their smile healthy between appointments.
Always A Call Away
Dental emergencies can happen at any moment, and when they do, you want a trusted pediatric specialist who is easy to reach. We are the only pediatric dental practice in Manhattan Beach that provides on call emergency care after hours, seven days a week. Whether it’s a toothache, trauma, or a concern that just can’t wait, you can rely on us for prompt guidance and immediate help.
Growing Healthy Smiles
Our philosophy centers around prevention, early intervention, and minimally invasive dentistry to protect your child’s long-term health. Our board-certified pediatric dentists use evidence-based techniques to stop small issues before they become big problems. We offer a full range of services tailored to children, including dental cleanings by Registered Dental Hygienists, cosmetic options, porcelain crowns, mercury- and BPA-free restorations, sealants, silver diamine fluoride (SDF), and Curodont™ for early caries prevention.
For patients who need additional comfort, we provide nitrous oxide to help them relax and sedation options for young, medically complex, or highly anxious patients when treatment is necessary. Dental care for your child is always individually tailored to their dental needs, comfort level, and developmental stage.
A Gentle Touch
Every child is unique, and so is every appointment. Our compassionate team is specially trained to care for all children, whether they have special needs, sensory sensitivities, high dental anxiety, or simply require extra reassurance. We use a communication style marked by patience, encouragement, and positive reinforcement to help young patients feel at home. Our goal is to make your child's dental visits a wonderful experience.
State of the Art Solutions
We combine a gentle approach with advanced technology to ensure accuracy, comfort, and efficiency at every visit. Our practice uses Pearl AI for second-opinion diagnostics, giving families added confidence in the accuracy of their child’s dental assessments. We also utilize minimally invasive treatments, including Curodont, a product developed in Switzerland to remineralize enamel that is colorless, tasteless and drill free, to treat primary and permanent teeth. Our Solea laser treats hard and soft tissue so your child can receive dental treatment without being numb!
A Kid-Focused Experience
Children and parents love our pediatric dental office because it’s designed entirely around what makes kids feel happy and relaxed. Every room features vibrant murals, transforming the space into an imaginative jungle adventure. Young patients enjoy exploring the game cave, watching the fish in the aquarium and the swimming turtle tanks, and settling into treatment rooms equipped with TVs playing their favorite movies. Many of our young patients are so comfortable and excited that they can’t wait to return for their next appointment!
With a team that is kind, fun, experienced, and highly skilled, we are committed to delivering care that is both enjoyable and world class.
