Today we’d like to introduce you to Suncica Martinasevic Dr Sunny.

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?


My name is Dr. Suncica Martinasevic, known as Dr Sunny to my patients and I am the sole owner and founder of Denteast Boutique Dental Practice in Fort Lauderdale.

Denteast is the practice I built from the ground up as a startup in 2025. I have been practicing dentistry in the United States for over 13 years as a foreign-trained dentist originally from Serbia, and I am proud to lead Denteast as a woman entrepreneur shaped by both clinical experience and resilience.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?


Admission to U.S. dental schools is highly competitive overall, and for foreign-trained, non-native English speakers, the process is even more selective.

At one point, I remember feeling deeply discouraged when I learned that nearly 7,000 applicants from around the world were competing for a program that ultimately accepted only 20 students. A mentor reminded me of something simple but powerful: despite the odds, those 20 seats would still be filled, and someone had to earn them. I focused on preparation and stayed committed to the process. Ultimately, I was listed within the 20 on the admissions dean’s list of accepted candidates at NOVA Southeastern University in South Florida- proof that consistent effort and focus matter, even in the most competitive settings.

Before opening my own practice, I spent years working as an associate dentist throughout South Florida, practicing everywhere from Boca Raton to Pembroke Pines. That time was invaluable- it sharpened my clinical skills, increased my efficiency, and exposed me to a wide range of practice styles, patient needs, and clinical challenges. While that period was critical to my growth and clinical experience, it also came with limitations. As an associate, key decisions such as materials used, treatment philosophies, staffing, and scheduling were often outside of my control. Over time, as my skills and confidence grew, it became clear that practicing dentistry at the level I envisioned required ownership and accountability.

Becoming a practice owner was not just a professional milestone, but a natural evolution toward having the autonomy to make thoughtful decisions that align with patient care, quality, and long-term outcomes. I invested heavily in continuing education, traveling across the United States to refine my approach and stay current with evolving techniques and technology.

After becoming a mother and once my child moved beyond the earliest years, I made the intentional decision to open my own practice. I knew that with my son in school, I could fully commit the time, focus, and energy required to build something of my own, and step into entrepreneurship with clarity and purpose.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?

Denteast was created from a simple belief: dentistry can be done better, and people deserve to be treated like people.

Denteast is a boutique, design-forward dental practice I founded and built in Fort Lauderdale (Flagler Village / Las Olas area). From the start, it was never meant to be a “volume dentistry” office- it was created as a thoughtful, elevated alternative where dentistry is done carefully, intentionally, and with personality.

The name itself reflects the idea of new beginnings, sunrise, and optimism- which aligns perfectly with Dr. Sunny, the east coast, and my belief that dentistry can genuinely change how people feel about themselves.

Branding was a strategic decision and a core component of building Denteast as a differentiated practice. I partnered with Designer & Gentleman to translate my vision into a cohesive brand infrastructure that aligns environment, patient experience, and clinical philosophy. From visual identity to sensory elements, every detail was designed intentionally to support consistency, trust, and long-term brand recognition, ensuring that how the practice looks and feels reinforces the quality of care delivered.

Patients often remark the moment they walk in on how beautiful the space feels and how intentionally the environment was designed-even noticing details like our signature scent!

At Denteast, our approach is rooted in biomimetic dentistry. Biomimetic dentistry focuses on restoring teeth in a way that mimics their natural structure and function, and in our everyday practice, we use these principles to preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible while creating durable, natural-looking restorations. This philosophy naturally extends into our Invisalign treatment.

 

Invisalign is a significant part of our practice at Denteast, as it allows us to improve tooth alignment and occlusion in a conservative way while also considering broader functional factors, including jaw position and airway support. As a Molis-trained dentist, I have developed a deep understanding of orthodontic principles, and clear aligner therapy has become both a clinical strength and a personal passion.

In addition to cosmetic and orthodontic care, we provide a full scope of general dentistry- allowing us to care for patients comprehensively and thoughtfully under one roof.

What quality or characteristic do you feel is most important to your success?


Modern, but grounded in fundamentals and care for people and community

We embrace new technologies and evolving techniques, but they are always built on a strong foundation of core dental principles-biology, occlusion, function, and long-term stability.

Much like classically trained artists who spend years studying human anatomy and technique before developing their own style, we believe true innovation only works when the basics are mastered first. Trends may evolve, but sound fundamentals ensure that the work remains functional, ethical, and lasting.

Denteast isn’t about being the biggest practice. It’s about being the one patients trust- and come back to.

On another note, we are surrounded by many businesses – we try contribute meaningfully to the ecosystem we’re part of- both inside and outside the dental office.

Over the years, patients have come to me not only for dental care, but also for guidance.

Questions like:
“Can I drink red wine after this procedure?”
“Which gym do you go to?”
“Where do you go for healthy lunch around here?”

These conversations revealed something important: people see their doctor as a trusted authority in lifestyle, wellness, and decision-making not just healthcare.

That insight inspired one of our proudest initiatives: ‘Dr. Sunny Recommends”

Through this platform, we thoughtfully introduce local businesses and professionals that we personally use, deeply trust, and love. From pet shops, coffee places, restaurants, to wellness experts, creatives, and specialists across different fields- every recommendation is rooted in real experience and the highest standards of quality.

This is our way of: 
Supporting local businesses and entrepreneurs
Elevating great minds and high-quality craftsmanship
Strengthening the Fort Lauderdale community
Creating meaningful, human connections beyond transactions

We believe great brands grow together.

As nervous as I was going to the dentist in such a long time I felt in a better place after I got my teeth cleaned, polished and then worked out a plan with Dr. Sunny, she was incredibly reassuring and made me feel at ease. After that they worked out a plan for me and scheduled my next visit. Thank you!!!

Dr. Sunny has a special gift for calming your nerves and making you feel more like a person than just a patient. We always felt confident and cared for, knowing we're in safe hands throughout our procedure. My wife and I drove 45 minutes yesterday to see her, and we wouldn't consider going anywhere else.

I had SUCH a great experience here today. I was honestly nervous about going in because it had been a while since my last cleaning, but the entire team made me feel so comfortable from start to finish. Shania was amazing on the phone when I called to make my appointment! She was so friendly and helpful, and she even got me in for an earlier day which I really appreciated. She was just as kind and welcoming when I arrived, which instantly calmed my nerves! My hygienist, Gresia Escobar, was absolutely incredible! She took her time, explained everything, and made sure my teeth were squeaky clean. She removed the stains on my teeth and was so gentle but thorough. My teeth have honestly never felt or looked this clean and white. I haven’t stopped looking at them! 🤣 Dr. Sunny was also wonderful. She answered my questions, was very knowledgeable, and made me feel comfortable and confident about everything. You can tell they truly care about their patients and not just rushing people in and out! The whole office has such a professional, kind, and reassuring atmosphere. I’m so glad I came here and actually look forward to coming back! Highly recommend.

I had a dental emergency involving my front tooth on a Saturday night and an important meeting early Sunday. Dr. Sunny opened her office on her day off at 8am just for me and fixed everything perfectly in under 25 minutes. This level of care and dedication is truly rare. I’m incredibly grateful and highly recommend her. Amazing 🤍

Going to Denteast for the first time six months ago was honestly one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The entire team is made up of the most genuine, kind women who truly take care of you. I now drive almost two hours after moving just to continue seeing Dr. Sunny, because I can’t imagine going anywhere else. If you’re on the fence about making an appointment—just do it. You won’t regret it. I used to be scared of the dentist, and now I actually enjoy going. They’re helping me get my dream smile, and I’m so incredibly thankful for them ❤️

I’m so glad I found Dr. Sunny. I originally came to her for a second opinion after another dentist told me I needed three fillings. And guess what… I didn’t need any of them. A little later, I decided to start Invisalign with her because I trusted her and knew she was a knowledgeable, honest doctor. The results turned out GREAT! I’m so happy I took the time to do it. Highly recommended if you want to straighten your teeth or fix your bite. I personally struggled with clenching my teeth at night, which caused my teeth to wear down and made my jaw muscles feel sore in the morning. Not anymore. Thanks to Invisalign and now wearing a retainer at night my teeth are protected, and the jaw pain is gone. Highly, highly recommended!
