"My name is Anastasia, and I’ve had the great pleasure of being part of the My Sunny Smile team since 2016. I was one of the very first two trainees at the practice and successfully completed my dental assistant training in July 2019. Since then, I’ve been working chairside with Dr. Raval, supporting patient care.

My responsibilities include assisting with both removable and fixed braces, follow-up appointments, and taking X-rays, photographs, scans, or impressions. In addition to clinical work, I also help organize and sterilize instruments.

I'm also in charge of boosting the team's mood every morning — usually with a quick dance in the treatment area just before 8 a.m.

Outside of work, I love spending time doing various activities with my daughter or enjoying time with family and friends."
