General Info

Founded in 2006, Dr. Kurt Sturz established Sturz Pediatric Dentistry with the goal of providing a safe environment for children's dental care in Kern County. In 2009, Dr. Chad Abby, Dr. Sturz's dental school roommate, joined the practice, sharing a common vision for pediatric dentistry. Outgrowing its initial office in 2011, the practice relocated to Brimhall and Calloway, officially becoming Sturz & Abby Pediatric Dentistry And Orthodontics in 2015. To enhance patient care, Dr. Sturz and Dr. Abby integrated orthodontic services, welcoming Dr. Kenny Ricks, whose treatment philosophy aligns seamlessly with their vision. This collaboration ensures a comprehensive experience in pediatric dentistry and orthodontics for our patients.
