What Patients & Parents
Are Saying About Us
-
Dr. Monti has gone above and beyond!
“I have frequently received a phone call checking on the patient after a procedure.”
-
We are in great hands with Dr. Shandra.
“We saw Dr. Shandra for the first time today and the kids all loved her.”
-
We had the best experience today!
“We had the best experience today! It was my son’s first trip to see the dentist and the staff was so sweet and gentle! The place was so esthetically pleasing and I am so happy we came. My son is 2 and he had such a great experience with everyone today that he will not stop talking about how he wants to go back to the dentist. I will definitely recommend this place for all kids and teens.”
-
They make the kids feel at ease and the atmosphere is fun and kid-friendly.
“We love Adventure Dental! They have taken great care of both of my kids since they've had teeth :) They make the kids feel at ease and the atmosphere is fun and kid-friendly. They provide convenient options for booking appointments and send text reminders. My kids love their "score cards" after each visit and it motivates them to do a better job brushing!”
-
My children adore their dentist!
“My children have been visiting this office since they grew their first teeth. I chose this office because they don’t strap down children or give them pills hidden in pudding to sedate them, like other offices are known to do. When my boy was four years old, he had cavities and by the time he got up from the dentist’s chair, he hadn’t known his teeth had been drilled. Hadn’t noticed the grape scented breathing mask they placed on him was calming, hadn’t noticed ANY needles or tools, hadn’t noticed the drilling while he watched cartoons on the ceiling. By the time it was over, he was jolly like it had been his first day of school. I love this staff! My boy is now fourteen and still attends this office. They’re worth every dime I’ve ever had to pay out of pocket. My children adore their dentist! Thank you for your courtesy to my children.”

To Create a Bright Smile for Your Child
Santa Clarita Pediatric Dentist
Dedicated to Providing Premier Dental Care
Both of our Santa Clarita pediatric dentists attended the UCLA School of
Dentistry and completed their residencies at the Harvard School of Dental
Medicine and Boston Children's Hospital. While they have honed their skillset
at some of the most respected institutions in the country, Dr. Monti and
Dr. Pepper have taken their education one step further by becoming Diplomates
of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. Not every specialist is
board certified. The certification process is a rigorous and voluntary
examination that tests a doctor's knowledge and skills. Maintaining your
board certification means that you must periodically be re-examined. This
means that Dr. Monti and Dr. Pepper are committed to providing exceptional
dental care to their patients by staying up to date on cutting-edge treatment
and resources.
