Dr. Scoma and Dr. Lam will work closely with you in designing your treatment plan, or that of your child, always attentive to your desires. At Seaside Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we are all about establishing lifetimes of beautifully healthy, natural-looking smiles!

In addition to regular exams and cleanings, he offers fillings, extractions, white crowns, root canals, and preventive care. He also offers care for pediatric dental emergencies, as well as nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and safe sedation options.

Dr. Natalie Lam, our orthodontist, creates beautiful, natural-looking smiles for children, teens, and adults. In addition to metal and clear braces, she offers AcceleDent Aura accelerated treatment and Invisalign clear aligners for teens and adults.
Services
Being a pediatric dentist allows me to meet many wonderful children and families.
It is an honor to build connections through my profession, knowing the care I offer makes a lifetime of difference to each child.
A father of three, I understand a parent's concerns, and also know each family has specific expectations and desires.
I work one-to-one with families to ensure they receive the care they want and achieve their treatment goals.
My team and I are non-judgmental and seek to meet families where they are.
I love helping out patients and parents, and seeing happy, smiling faces when they leave our office after a great dental visit!
I assist families with insurance matters, including billing and disputes, and have almost 15 years of experience with policies and procedures.
I also handle collections, scheduling, and patient relations.
Outside of work, I love to read; the Harry Potter series is my favorite!
I also like to spend time with friends, enjoy the So-Cal sun, and find new places to eat around San Diego.
As an orthodontist, I have the opportunity to help people who are unhappy with the appearance of their smile and provide them with a better, healthier bite.
It is incredibly rewarding to work with people who want to make these positive changes and to know that what we achieve will last a lifetime!
I have practiced orthodontics for 15 years and value the people I have met during this time.
Each patient, from children through teens, adults, and even grandparents, has enriched my life.
Our conversations - about school or professional activities, dreams for the future, or their latest adventures - broaden my world and make me appreciate our diverse and thriving community.
The minute you set foot in our Scripps Ranch or La Jolla office and are greeted by name, you'll know you're in the right place.
Seaside Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics is a boutique, privately-owned practice, providing the highest-quality, fully personalized care.
A dual-specialty office, we have the pleasure of seeing infants through adolescents, setting them on the path to a lifetime of oral health, while also providing orthodontics for all ages.
Dr. Anthony Scoma, Dr. Natalie Lam, and our team pride ourselves on offering leading-edge care in a welcoming, positive environment.
Our practice is committed to providing you and your family with safe, gentle, high-quality dental care.
We understand that your child may feel anxious about visiting the dentist.
We are sensitive to children's needs and it is our goal to make your child feel comfortable visiting our practice while providing the best care possible.
During your child's first visit, we will review their dental and medical history forms, and take X-rays of their teeth and mouth.
Then, the doctor will meet with you and your child to discuss the X-rays, help create an individual treatment plan, and answer any questions that you may have.
