Fantastic experience: Both of my boys love it there. The desk staff, hygienist and Doctor are polite, gentle, knowledgeable and friendly. The place is spotless and bathrooms clean.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Ureles went above and beyond for our family. We were visiting from out of town over the July 4th holiday when our 1.5-year-old daughter had a trip and fall. I called his office not knowing what to expect since we weren't local patients, and Dr. Ureles got on the phone himself, listened to what happened, and promised to see us first thing the next morning. He kept his word. He treated our daughter with so much warmth, patience, and professionalism, and was incredibly thorough even knowing we were only in town temporarily and wouldn't be regular patients. That kind of genuine care with nothing to gain says everything about who he is. We are so grateful he made time for us in an emergency. If you need a pediatric dentist you can truly count on, Dr. Ureles is it. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Children’s Dental Associates have been my children’s dentists for many years. They are professional and thorough with the children at every appointment. I am very confident that each time my children are seen that they will receive exemplary care. I would never consider bringing them anywhere else.
Fantastic experience: Very kind and polite staff from the receptionist to the doctors. The office is very clean. I've never had a bad experience.
Negative experience: Just spoke with Melissa on the phone she was very unprofessional I can understand if you’re not taking clients with a specific insurance but the tone of her voice and the way she immediately hung up after she said we don’t take children with your insurance was dismissive and rude. Will gladly be looking elsewhere for dental care for my child.
Fantastic experience: Dr Chen and his dental assistant kate were phenomenal !
Fantastic experience: We had our third visit at CDA in Bozrah and it was a great experience once again, I have a 4.5 year old and he enjoys going!! we really like Michelle and for the first time met Dr. Clark who was great as well.
We love to hear this, thanks for the 5 stars! We appreciate the feedback.
Fantastic experience: I was a patient at Children’s Dental for 18 years, and eventually my own kids became patients.Our hygienists and doctors are always extremely kind, informative, and all-around wonderful. I highly recommend this place for kids!
Fantastic experience: Wonderful and efficient staff. Appointment on time and quick in and out.
Fantastic experience: I've taken my son, who has autism, here for years. They've always been great. I had a bit of a concern from last year's appointment and they took it seriously. They addressed my concerns and were absolutely amazing about everything! My son was able to do so well at this appointment that he was able to get 4 x-rays done! The first time for him ever!
Fantastic experience: My 17 year old daughter has been going to Children's Dental Associates since she was three. I don't just love how amazing the dental care is, her emotional care and anxiety has always been better then anything I've experienced. I dred the day she'll have to switch to an adult practice. My nephew and a friend has a child with very intense special needs both medical and developmental, I've really been impressed how well Children's Dental Associates worked with them. I can't vouch for this but I was told some of the dentist train an extra two years to work with special needs children.
Fantastic experience: Always a good experience; great and friendly staff
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Dr. U is an Amazing Dentist and Great person ..... I genuinely love that office
Fantastic experience: “Our experience at this office was outstanding. Dr. Chen and his assistant Stacy were calm, kind, and very thorough in explaining what needed to be done. They never rushed us, made sure all of our questions were answered, and were incredibly gentle with my anxious eight‑year‑old, who had been dealing with significant pain. Their patience and compassion made a really stressful situation so much easier, and I’d absolutely recommend them to other families.”
Fantastic experience: My daughter had a cracked tooth. They got us in fast and pulled her tooth that day. Walked us through each step and she wasn’t freaked out even though she never had a needle. She isn’t afraid of the dentist and it’s bc of children’s dental! Thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: My daughter had a cavity. They numbed the area before the shot and talked her thru it, step by step. No pain. No anxiety. Had a great experience.
Thanks for the nice review!
Fantastic experience: My son cracked his tooth in half, I called and they told me to come right to the office. An hour after I got there his tooth was fixed and looked like nothing had ever happened. The dentist and staff were so kind and engaging and put him right at ease and he left with a smile on his face, despite all the tears when he first broke his tooth. This is why I take my children here!
Fantastic experience: My son had a very pleasant experience, Dr Presti is amazing. She is always so kind, gentle and patient. She makes jokes and is great at helping kids to relax. Thank you!!!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Presti is the best! We highly recommend!
Negative experience: I initially called to see if they were accepting new patients and when they asked for insurance to see if they accepted it I didn't know it at the moment, (obviously my fault) but the lady sighed very loudly on the phone as if I was extremely annoying to her, which I know is kind of annoying but my daughter is 9 mo old and I've never done this before. To be so initially rude is very unkind, especially because I'm not unpleasant I did apologize. I normally don't do reviews but I'm very glad my insurance wasn't accepted, after all your first interaction is the most important.
Fantastic experience: My daughter is petrified to go to the dentist. Children’s Dental is very patient with kids who are afraid at the dentist. The staff is very kind and patient.
Fantastic experience: Everything here is geared towards making your child comfortable and excited about caring for their teeth. My daughter has struggled with dental problems and needed cavities filled early in life. The staff has always been cheerful, gentle, and kind towards her struggles. Almost ten years later my daughter looks forward to impressing them on her next visit and enjoys all the educational feedback shes given. Highly recommend this dental office.
Fantastic experience: Staff is always nice an friendly
Fantastic experience: Best Dental place for children all the way to college yrs
Fantastic experience: ⭐ A-1 Dentist! Dr. Ureles takes amazing care of my daughters’ teeth. He is very professional, kind, and truly concerned about your dental health. The best of the best✨ and what matters most is his human, caring treatment. Highly recommended! ✨
Fantastic experience: So amazing with my children. Put the extra effort into making them comfortable. I personally had a bad experience as a child which created a lot of anxiety for me even still as an adult. Didn’t want that for my children. Very happy we chose to come here!
Fantastic experience: Dealing with an unexpected injury, we were referred to Children's Dental for further assessment. From the first contact to schedule an appointment (which we were seen approximately 2 hours after I called to set up an emergency visit) until checking out, we were treated with kindness, respect, and compassion. They were quick, efficient, and knowledgeable about the reason for our visit, and worked so well with my 2 year old, who has had minimal exposure to doctors offices. Would (and will) recommend them over and over!
Fantastic experience: We had the best experience today. Both the doctor and the assistants were amazing and patient and made my daughter feel so comfortable.
Fantastic experience: We had an amazing experience at my 2 yr old daughter’s visit! The dental technician was so gentle and patient making her feel calm and safe! She told everyone about how she got her teeth cleaned. We can’t wait to come for our next appointment!
Fantastic experience: Excelente my daughter and my son I love visit the dentist, and the assistant is loved thanks you.
Thank you for the nice review, we appreciate the feedback!
Fantastic experience: My daughter enjoyed going to the dentist. The staff is nice and helpful.It is a welcoming environment for kids.
Fantastic experience: Dr Ureles and the staff are always friendly, kind, a d professional.
Fantastic experience: It was my toddlers first visit to the dentist and they made sure she had a good experience.
Fantastic experience: I loved the staff today that came in contact with my daughter.. they didn’t have to fix my daughter tooth today we could of came back but they worked threw their lunch and was sooooo kind to her and talked to her the whole time . Thank you all you were amazing!!
Fantastic experience: I heard very good things about this place, so I decided to get my kids an appointment. At first, when I went to check in, the girl who checked me in had a little bit of an attitude, so I was thinking "oh no!". But the girl who called us back was very nice. She introduced herself to us, showed us where to go, and told us our hygienist would be right with us. All 3 hygienist were there promptly, introduced themselves to me and to the kids. They asked a few questions, and talked to the kids very respectfully. I really appreciate that. The rooms where the kids got their teeth cleaned were decorated with kid friendly things. (Stitch, kiddy dinosaurs, Bluey, and other things.) after the kids' cleanings, we went into a room where the dentist (Dr. U) came in to talk to us. He introduced himself to all of us, asked me a few questions to get to know me, asked a few questions about my husband, and then he talked to and explained things to me and the kids. He even told the kids if they were uncomfortable in any way, that they could raise their left hand and that would tell him to stop. 2 of my kids have braces, so he said he works closely with my kids orthodontist and they have a really good relationship. (That made my feel very comfortable as well) Dr U asked me if I had any questions, and if I ever need anything, just call and they would make sure we are taken care of. I would definitely recommend this dental office.
Fantastic experience: They were so gentle with my son’s first appointment. He wasn’t a huge fan, but the hygienist and Dr. U were so great!
Positive experience: Great place for the most part. Problem is no internet for my kids tablet. And for a spectrum kid that can get rough. Lowered a star because still no wifi option available
Fantastic experience: All 6 of my children have gone to Childrens Dental Associates. From the Staff in the front to the Dental Hygienist to the Doctors are absolutely wonderful and personable.
Fantastic experience: My daughter was extremely anxious and the dentist and assistant were amazing. The assistant held her hand the whole time, wiped her teary eyes and was chatty and sweet to her which helped my daughter so much. The dentist would check in with her constantly and would tell her each step and how long it would take. I appreciate you both very much during the process:).
Fantastic experience: This place does great with kids. They are able to keep our child calm and not concerned with what is happening. For a child who is scared of a lot they did a fantastic job at making it fun. Love going there and will be going back.
Fantastic experience: I have been going to this dental practice for over 30 years. First with my children and now with my grandchildren. Dr Ureliss is the best. Always makes his patients feel comfortable with every procedure.

Fantastic experience: I have taken my children here since they turned 1 and have had all positive experiences! The dental hygienists and dentists are kind, patient, gentle, and very skilled at working with young children. We have seen Dr. Presti and Dr. Chen - both doctors are fantastic. They are extremely knowledgeable and they spend a lot of time with their patients. Overall a wonderful office!
Fantastic experience: Always the most amazing hygienists and Dr Presti is unbelievable. My whole family loves visiting this office. Dr Presti was OOO and we got to meet Dr Chen. What an absolute delight he was. He was so amazing
Thank you for taking the time to review our practice, we appreciate the feedback. It really puts a smile on our faces.
Fantastic experience: All 3 of my children have been patients here. Two are now adults and my 6 year old is a current patient that has been going to the Bozrah office since she was 1. They are so kind and know just how to approach children in the perfect way to calm any fears and make the experience fun. My daughter LOVES going to the dentist and the staff at Children’s Dental Associates is a huge reason why. Thank you for another great appointment today. She left smiling and talking about her teeth!

He also took the time to explain everything to us (mom and dad) and to our son as he did them. He also gave us some tips to help us better brush and floss our son’s teeth which can be a challenge for a child with autism!

Thank you for the nice comments about Dr. Chen and taking the time to provide the feedback!
Fantastic experience: Best place for pediatric dental care! You can book simultaneous cleanings so it's convenient and quick if you have more than one kid. Wait time is very short, and they have availabilities for early morning appointments, which helps during the school year. As far as doctors go, I don't think it gets better than Dr. Ureles. He has a never-ending list of professional accomplishments and is very knowledgeable on more rare dental issues. Other doctors we've seen sporadically have also been wonderful, and the team makes visits to the dentist enjoyable for my kids.
Thank you for your great review, you just made Dr. Ureles day!
Fantastic experience: My daughter was difficult to say in the least. Her hygienist was so patient, gentle and kind. Very much appreciate her !

Fantastic experience: Our hygienist was prompt, professional and kind. The MD was also on time and explained everything. A great experience overall.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Presti is wonderful my daughter had anxiety issues until she met Dr Presti
Fantastic experience: Having a child on the spectrum can make dental care and visits hard. My daughter is older now but she has went here since she was about 5. It has gotten easier and easier though the years with staff always being good kind and helpful. her dentist is the best . Always the best visit. Hopefully this is helpful to some parents trying to find a caring dentist for their children special needs or not.
Thank you for the great review, we appreciate your feedback of your visit with us.
Fantastic experience: Michelle always does a great job with my toddler. He loves getting his teeth cleaned with her
Thank you for letting us know!
Fantastic experience: I absolutely love them here. My kids have been going since they were 1 and are now 11 and 15. Always have a great experience. All the Drs are great. The hygienist make it easy and calming for them. Dr. Parisi goes above and beyond. We could not be more satisfied. I will be sad when they outgrow the practice.
Fantastic experience: Brittany the hygienist is an absolute doll. She’s so good with kids and I’m so grateful for her knowledge and kindness. Dr Fatone is amazing. She’s full of knowledge and has a lovely personality. Thank you!!

Thank you both Brittany and doctor presti <3
Thank you for the 5 stars! You just made our day!
Fantastic experience: My oldest daughter has been coming to CDA Bozrah for 2 1/2 years now. Today was a six month cleaning for her and a first appointment for my 18 month old. I am always in awe of how incredible each and every staff member is at every single visit. Today we had Brittany as our hygienist, and she truly went above and beyond to make the visit run smoothly with two kids! They take their time showing the children each, and every tool, and explaining what they do in ways that are not scary. They are thorough and efficient. Dr. Presti is always so incredibly kind and knowledgeable about my child’s current dental health, and what to anticipate in the future. I would highly recommend this office for anyone with children! Our insurance no longer is in network with them, and I continue to choose CDA Bozrah.
Thank you for the feedback, it's very heartwarming and puts a smile on our faces!
Fantastic experience: What a great experience yet again for my son. The hygienist was kind, warm and friendly and the dentist was knowledgeable, positive and friendly.
Thank you for the kind words, we appreciate your feedback!
