Voyage Miami: Exploring Life & Business with Suncica (Sunny) of Denteast
It’s here: fresh news, dental tips, and insights

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.

"I had such a fantastic experience at Denteast! From the moment I walked in, the front desk girl, Shania, made me feel so welcomed. She was incredibly sweet and efficient with my paperwork. The dentist and hygienists were just as amazing—so gentle, thorough, and they explained everything perfectly. Highly recommend this office!"
Today was my third visit to Denteast and I have to tell you every visit has been amazing. When you walk in the door, not only is it a top notch, state of the art beautiful office, you are always greeted with smiling faces. Had my 6 month cleaning today and the hygienist took her time, explained everything she was doing and did a very thorough job. I LOVE this place!!! Even if you are not in need of a new dentist you should give them a try. You will not be disappointed.
Just visited Dr. Sunny the first time and I’ve had a great experience. Everyone in the office was super friendly, professional, and making my visit very comfortable and welcoming. Dr. Sunny is very knowledgeable, took the time to explain things clearly to me, and never made me feel rushed. I really appreciate the quality of care and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great dentist. She is the best!
I wasn’t able to smile before, but since I met Dr. Sunny and team, all of that has changed. I’m very proud of the dental work that I received under the care of Dr. Sunny. Such a huge change in my life this has made. I’m smiling and I’m happy. 😃
This place is awesome. I had to switch dentists while in the middle of Invisalign, and they handled everything without any stress at all. Everyone here is super nice, appointments are easy to get, and they don’t try to upsell you on things you don’t need. Hands down the best dental office I’ve found in Fort Lauderdale.
Absolutely amazing service. I was treated incredibly well and felt taken care of the entire time. The place is top class — super professional, spotless, and truly high quality. I highly recommend it! Special shoutout to Lisa - Shania and Suncica.

Have been going to Denteast since pretty much it opened. Sunny and her team are the best Dental team anyone can ask for. Always make sure my Dental health is optimal and clearly explain any irregularities or any questions I may have. Always a blast to visit which is not normal in my experiences in Dentist office in the past. Highly recommended!
Dr. Sunny and her team are truly exceptional, providing not only top-notch orthodontic and dental care but also a warm, personable experience that makes every visit enjoyable. I highly recommend them for anyone seeking outstanding dental care!
Excellent service! Staff are very welcoming and professional. I feel well taken care of.
Had a wonderful experience at this dental office today. Dr. Sunny was incredibly knowledgeable, gentle, and took the time to explain everything clearly. The office is spotless and very well maintained, and the entire staff is warm, caring, and welcoming. You can really tell they prioritize patient comfort and quality care. Highly recommended! I am glad I finally found a dental office I can trust.
Dr. Sunny and her team are amazing! I recently moved to Fort Lauderdale and am so happy I found them. From the moment I walked in I felt welcomed, comfortable, and educated on anything they were doing with my teeth. So happy to have them so close by and would definitely recommend!
I’m truly impressed by the organization of the office, the protocols, the technology, and last but certainly not least, Dr. Sunny’s expertise. I had no idea that she graduated from two universities, both in Europe and here in the States, and that she has been practicing dentistry for around than 15 years. That level of dedication and experience is genuinely impressive! I’m so grateful that I was taken care of during my short trip to Fort Lauderdale, and honestly, I’m very happy that Denteast exists.l! The entire team made me feel welcomed, informed, and comfortable throughout the entire process.Thank you, Denteast team, for everything!Much Love 💕
It almost feels embarrassing to admit that I assumed emergency dental care was automatically going to be extremely expensive and stressful. But the Denteast team completely changed my perspective. They explained somethnig that actually makes perfect sense: emergency dentistry should be looked at like a high-quality organic sandwich or healthy meal essential, accessible, fair, and there WHEN you truly need it. The prices were surprisingly fair, the care was exceptional, and the entire experience felt transparent and human. I was “today years old” when I realized that dentistry can actually feel approachable and supportive instead of intimidating. Thank you, Denteast team, for everything. I highly recommend them!
Wonderful staff, beautiful office, quality care. Highly recommend to all my friends and family.
My experience with Denteast was seamless from start to finish. Everyone I interacted with - Shania, Lisa, Gresia, & Dr. Sunny - was fantastic. It had been a while since my last cleaning, & they were very thorough when it came to really examining my teeth & doing the cleaning. Truly the nicest dentists’ office I’ve been to. It feels like a spa experience that Cigna actually covers hahah. Would definitely recommend!
Highly recommend! From the moment I walked into DentEast, I knew that I came to the right place. When I entered the reception area, Shania’s greeting made me feel like a celebrity. How cool is that! The office is spotless with state of the art equipment and the entire staff is awesome. I am terrified of the teeth cleaning process and in the past have shed some tears. The hygienist (Gresia) is wonderful! She talked me through the process, was gently and thorough. I can honestly tell you it was painless. This team of professionals worked together to make my experience memorable and left a lasting impression on me. I am looking forward to my next visit, have referred others and will recommend DentEast to everyone I come in contact with. Thank you for providing quality service with a smile!
I love Dr.Sunny,she has been my dentist for over 10 year's. She is amazing, love her new practice,the office staff are wonderful, they make you feel so comfortable and relax. If you're looking for a new dentist I highly recommend her.
Beautiful office, friendly staff, high-end equipment, and care centered about the patient

Examination Xray’s Extraction was done outstanding/ painless/ team is amazing!!! Dr Sunny is my favorite tooth fairy now )thank you so much again!!!
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.
Great people and beautiful office with brand new equipment. Everyone there is very professional and on time with appointments. Highly recommended!
