Welcome to Santa Maria Pediatric Dental Group & Ortho
Where Patients Become Family
A Dental Home for Your Child
Dr. Keith Tam opened our practice in 2010 hoping it would become a place Santa Maria families enjoy visiting, and some of those very first families still bring their kids to see us today. From toddlers to teens, our pediatric dentists care for your child’s growing smile, and our orthodontist helps teens and adults get the straight, healthy smile they want.
You will notice the difference as soon as you walk in. Movies play throughout the office, kids earn prizes for good behavior, and our cavity-free wall celebrates every healthy checkup. We schedule plenty of time for each visit, so you and your child can ask anything and never feel rushed.

Comprehensive care
Preventive Dentistry
Preventive dentistry keeps small problems from becoming big ones. Regular cleanings clear away plaque in hard-to-reach spots, and fluoride and sealants add extra protection against cavities.
Learn MoreCavities and Fillings
When a cavity does show up, we repair it with a tooth-colored filling that blends in with your child’s smile, so they can chew and smile comfortably again.
Learn MoreSedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry helps a nervous child or a child who needs more extensive care stay calm and comfortable, and hospital-based dentistry is available when it is the safest choice.
Learn MoreSpecial Needs Dentistry
Special needs dentistry here starts with patience. We take the time your child needs, adjust each visit to them, and keep you involved every step of the way.
Learn MoreEarly Orthodontic Treatment
Early orthodontic treatment catches bite problems while your child is still growing, when they are simpler to correct. An orthodontic visit by age seven lets us watch and step in at the right time.
Learn MoreBraces and Clear Aligners
Braces and clear aligners straighten teeth for teens and adults. Choose traditional braces with colored bands, tooth-colored LightForce braces or clear aligners.
