Meet Dr. Celina Wagner, DDS

A Michigan native, Dr. Wagner relocated to the beautiful Mississippi coast in the summer of 2025 when her husband was stationed at Keesler Air Force Base. Dr. Wagner graduated from Florida Atlantic University with a B.S. in Behavioral Neuroscience and a B.S. in Biology with a minor in Psychology. She attended Creighton University to earn both a M.S. in Clinical Anatomy and a Doctorate of Dental Surgery. Dr. Wagner has also completed 2 externships in periodontology at the University of Michigan. After completing her education, she spent 4 years working in Napa, California, honing her clinical skills. She enjoys challenging cases that integrate medicine and dentistry, esthetic cases that raise patients’ self-esteem, and working with patients with high dental anxiety to overcome their fear and achieve a healthy state. She is also passionate about holistic and preventative dentistry and the use of behavioral science to improve patient outcomes. Dr. Wagner believes there is no greater reward than a job well done, and that “There is no pillow so soft as a clear conscience.” She is enthusiastic about building lasting relationships that feel more like visiting a friend or family member rather than a traditional doctor-patient relationship.

Dr. Wagner is a member of the American Dental Association, Mississippi Dental Association, California Dental Association, and Academy of General Dentistry. She enjoys challenging herself with advanced continuing education classes ranging from surgery and sedation to cosmetics and orthodontics.

Outside of the office, Dr. Wagner and her husband, Dr. Chad Wagner, enjoy volunteering, CrossFit, camping, fishing, riding horses, painting, scuba diving, reefing, and an ever-evolving list of other hobbies. They have an Australian Shepard, Gryffin, who goes everywhere with them and is more like a son than a dog.
