About Westlake
Dental Arts

With over 25 years of experience in the dental field, I’m passionate about creating a welcoming, positive experience for both patients and our team. As an office manager, I love bringing together my experience, organization, and genuine care for people to help our office thrive.

I’m a proud mom of two, a dog mom, and someone who feels truly blessed to work in fields I’m passionate about and genuinely enjoy. I believe that taking care of people—whether through their health, their smile, or simply making their day a little better—is what makes my work so rewarding.

Shelby chose a career in Dental Hygiene with a desire to help others achieve better oral health. After earning her associate degree in Dental Hygiene from Oxnard College, she expanded her education receiving an Alternative Practice license from West Los Angeles College to better assist special needs patients.

When she’s not caring for patients, Shelby is a small business owner, making soaps and other personal-care products. She stays busy managing her business and attending craft shows. At home, she enjoys gardening and spoiling her Pomeranian.

I was born and raised in Ventura and graduated from Oxnard College. I bring my creativity and eye for detail into my work as a dental hygienist. An artist at heart, I blend skill with compassion, helping each patient feel relaxed and at ease during every visit. I believe dental visits should be supportive, not stressful. I take the time to listen, encourage, and care for each patient without judgment.

Outside of dentistry, I enjoy being creative, staying active, spending time outdoors, and spending time with friends, family, and my two hairless cats, Leo and Fig.

With nearly 20 years of experience in periodontics, Celeste brings both skill and heart to her role as a dental assistant. Now part of a dynamic and supportive team, she's found a workplace where she feels at home and looks forward to growing for years to come. What Celeste enjoys most about her work is the strong sense of teamwork - where even the busiest days are made better by the energy, humor, and helpfulness of her colleagues.

Outside the office, she's either soaking up ocean breezes or kicking up desert dust with her husband and friends in their off-road vehicles. A true animal lover, Celeste adores her 16-year-old cat Christian (who's basically her fur son!) and cherishes time spent with her niece and nephews.
