We’re Drs. Patricia, Patrick, and Connor Turley.

Two generations of dental specialists serving Southern California families from their hometown of Manhattan Beach. As a family of pediatric and orthodontic specialists, we provide expert clinical care with the personal attention only a family practice can offer.

Our values

  • Our team includes board-certified specialists in orthodontics. This specialized training ensures your family receives expert care backed by years of focused education and proven clinical experience.

  • We follow your child's dental development from their first tooth through completed orthodontic treatment. This long-term relationship allows us to catch issues early, plan treatments strategically, and build the trust that makes dental care comfortable for your family.

  • Early intervention prevents complex problems later. We focus on protective treatments like sealants, fluoride applications, and early orthodontic evaluation to maintain healthy teeth and proper development. Preventing problems is always better than treating them.

  • Every treatment recommendation considers your family's schedule, budget, and goals. We explain options clearly, respect your decisions, and work with you to create treatment plans that fit your life while delivering the best possible outcomes.
