Detailed Introduction

Just Kidz Dentistry is a specialized dental practice serving the communities of Peoria and Washington, Illinois. Their core mission revolves around providing comprehensive and compassionate dental care for infants, children, adolescents, and individuals with special needs. Since 2003, their team, led by dentists like Dr. Christa Spates and Dr. Sabeen Hafeez, has been committed to fostering a positive and comfortable environment where children can develop healthy oral habits and bright smiles for life. The philosophy at Just Kidz Dentistry is rooted in making dental visits enjoyable and stress-free. They understand that a child's early experiences with dentistry can significantly impact their future perception of oral health. To achieve this, their offices are designed to be kid-friendly, often featuring engaging toys, books, and even ceiling-mounted TVs to keep young patients at ease. The team employs gentle, patient-centered approaches, including various behavior management techniques, to alleviate anxiety and build confidence in children. Parents are encouraged to be actively involved in their child's treatment, creating a collaborative and supportive atmosphere. Services offered at Just Kidz Dentistry encompass a wide range of pediatric dental care. This includes routine check-ups, preventive care like fluoride treatments and sealants, and early treatments for developing issues. They place a strong emphasis on oral health education, equipping both children and parents with the knowledge and tools necessary to prevent tooth decay and maintain excellent oral hygiene at home. The practice is also equipped with modern technology, such as the Solea dental laser, which aims to minimize the need for traditional drills and anesthetics, making procedures more comfortable and efficient for patients of all ages. Beyond general pediatric services, they also cater to the unique needs of children with special healthcare requirements. Just Kidz Dentistry prides itself on its dedicated and caring team, who are passionate about nurturing healthy smiles. They strive to treat every patient like family, ensuring a "wow" experience at every visit, from a warm welcome to gentle care. Their commitment extends beyond clinical treatment; they are also engaged in community support, inviting current patients to request donations for meaningful causes, demonstrating their dedication to broader well-being. With two convenient locations in Peoria and Washington, Illinois, Just Kidz Dentistry aims to be an accessible "dental home" for families, providing consistent, high-quality care throughout a child's growth and development.

My three year old had his first fillings in the front two teeth they were very kind, compassionate, and caring with such a young kiddo! He had a hard time half way through and they worked quickly, calmly, and carefully to get him through it! Would recommend!

Just Kidz Dentistry is amazing. My daughter was only 4 when she got her first filling. I already felt horrible. . . like I wasn't taking good care of her teeth. . . .

and then nervous for how she would react to getting fillings. They made her so comfortable, which out me at ease. They have screens on the ceiling so the kids can watch their favorite shows while the Dentist works in their mouth. They let her pick 3 different prizes /snacks for doing such a good job. And they introduced each dental tool to her in a kid friendly way (ex. The tool they used to keep her mouth open was a "mermaid tail" and they told her "time to paint your teeth!" When they used the blue material at the end). We have found there is a big difference between going to a place that "see kids" vs going to a place lile Just Kidz that tailors every part of the experience to kids. We pay more to go here than we would other places but we feel it is totally worth every penny.

It was my daughter's first visit and the dental assistant did an amazing job and did her best to make her feel calm and comfortable with everything she did. She explained everything before she did it and was very patient and understanding. Highly recommend. 🦷✨️

The dental hygienists at Just Kidz are amazing! They know so well how to make little kids comfortable during their first visits at the dentist. From the playful waiting room with toys and activities to the way the kids can pick out special princess sunglasses to wear so the overhead light doesn’t shine in their eyes to the way they showed my 3 year old each tool by first pretending to use it to count her fingers or clean her nails before counting and cleaning her teeth.

This dentistry is brilliant! And both female doctors are fantastic and friendly as well! Can’t recommend it enough!
