Meet your dentist
Dr. Marisa Chen
I opened Sunny Smiles in 2007 because I wanted to practice the kind of dentistry I'd want for my own kids. Calm, unhurried, and grounded in real prevention.
I live in Hicksville with my husband and two kids, both of whom were my first patients. The families who started with me are bringing their grandkids in now. That's the part of this job I love most.

Our office
A space designed to feel less clinical.
Natural light, comfortable chairs, modern equipment. We renovated in 2022 with one goal: make this feel like a place you don't mind being.
