The Sunny Bay Story

Sunny Bay Dental was founded by Dr. Lia Cavalcanti and Dr. Anny Sa—two passionate dentists with over 40 years of combined experience. Their journey began in Brazil and brought them to Sarasota with a shared vision: to create a dental home where every patient feels heard, respected, and valued.

Together, they’ve built a practice grounded in expertise and heart, where every smile is treated with purpose and precision.

Our Vision

A better dental experience—for everyone.

We see a future where dental care is proactive, not reactive. Where technology empowers precise, efficient care—and where patients feel genuinely seen and supported. At Sunny Bay Dental, that vision starts now.

By offering comprehensive services in one place, we remove unnecessary stress and delays, giving you a more streamlined, confidence-building experience.

Our Mission

Real expertise. Real connection.

Dr. Anny Sa and Dr. Lia Cavalcanti bring more than technical skill to their work—they bring warmth, patience, and a deep belief in the power of communication. With advanced training in general dentistry, orthodontics, and periodontics, they understand the full picture of your oral health and how to personalize care to meet your goals.

Patients often say they feel more like partners than numbers here—and that’s by design. We take time to explain options, listen carefully, and guide you through every step with clarity and confidence.
