Meet the Doctors
Welcome to Just4KidzDentistry!
Hi, I am Dr. Celeste and please let me be the first to welcome you to Just4KidzDentistry! We are so excited about the opening of our brand new state of the art Pediatric Dental office here in Southington! Thank you, for taking the time to visit our new website! I am so happy about this new adventure, as I have been practicing Pediatric Dentistry for over 10 years and now, I am finally fulfilling my lifelong dream of opening my very own practice. As a Board Certified Pediatric Dentist and a mother of two children, I know how important it is for parents to find a comfortable dental home for their children. That is why it is our primary goal here at Just4KidzDentistry to create a warm, inviting and most important of all, fun environment where children can learn about the importance of good oral hygiene and diet while feeling at ease during their visit. Our office specializes in the dental needs of infants, children, adolescents and young adults. We pride our self on comprehensive early prevention because we believe excellent oral hygiene from infancy is vital in a child’s overall general health and development. Please feel free to stop by to see our Amusement park themed office and say hello! Also, don’t forget to like us on Facebook to see all the fun and exciting things we have planned!

When my daughter says "I like going to the dentist!", then I know that we have found an amazing office! Everyone in the office is friendly, professional and really care about the kids that they provide services too. When my daughter first starting to see Dr. Celeste, she was scared; she didn't want to open her mouth. Now, she is happy to go -- this says A LOT about the staff at this office. I have recommended them to many - and I will continue. They are the BEST!

This was my sons fourth or fifth visit to the dentist and it was again a good experience for him. The hygienist was very friendly and explained everything to him on terms he can understand, hes 2.5 years, and showed him all the tools before working with him. She was both patient and efficient. The doctor is friendly and informative. I love using this office for my son. I have recommended it to multiple friends and family members for their children.

"My daughter was thrilled to recently have had braces put on but has been having difficulty cleaning around her brackets, especially in the back of her mouth. This was especially worrisome because her gums had become so puffy/irritated that in some spots they were close to actually going over the brackets. Dr. Celeste quickly got her in with one of her fabulous hygienists, who formerly worked in an orthodontic office, for braces education practice cleanings. My daughter has been able to get some great recommendations to take home and implement for more confidence and more importantly to make sure her mouth stays healthy while her braces are on. This is just another example of why our family chooses Just4Kidz for our children’s pediatric dentistry. They really go above and beyond our expectations every time! Thank you Just 4 Kidz!"

"I was a bit nervous as to what to expect during my little Olivia's 1st Dental visit, I must say it was very pleasing to see the staff so professional , friendly, attentive, but mostly extremely patient with her.. I would recommend Just 4 Kidz dentistry to everyone specially any 1st time parents who might be just a bit more unaware as to what to expect.. Location is great and easy to find its was only a 15 minute drive from Waterbury for myself ... THANK YOU All specially Marissa you were so kind and gentle with my baby girl... Keep up the good work."

"The office is a 30 minute drive from my town but the service is worth it. My son's first experiences with 2 different dental clinics left him adamant about visiting the dentist but this changed from his first visit to Just4Kids. He LOVES going to the dentist!!! I have to pry him away when it is time to leave and he looks forwards to his next appointments every time. Thank you Dr. Celeste and team!"

"My 1.5 year old daughter had a fantastic visit! She immediately made herself at home with all the toys and wandered the office as she pleased throughout the appointment. The staff let her have her teeth checked at her own pace and they were all very friendly. I have never been to a healthcare office where we felt so at home, and it was very refreshing! It's clear that this office loves what they do and their patients. Thank you and keep up the excellent work!! :)"

"Both of my sons love Dr. Celeste and the care they receive at Just4kidz dentistry. They actually look forward to their visits, rather than dreading it, as so many kids do at other practices. It's a wonderful office and we recommend it every time anyone asks us where the kids go - since they rave about their dental experiences. Thank you!"
