A Letter From Our Family To Yours!

Dear Suncoast Dental Patients and Families,

My name is Yenny Cherwinski, and I wanted to take a moment to personally introduce myself and share a little about the heart behind Suncoast Dental. My husband, Craig, and I founded our private practice in 2003 with a simple mission: to treat every patient like family and provide compassionate, high-quality dental care that makes a lasting difference. Together, we built Suncoast Dental with the belief that every patient deserves to be heard, respected, and cared for as if they were our own family.

We also have a daughter, Sienna, who has been our greatest inspiration. Watching her grow has reminded us every day of the importance of building something meaningful—not just for our own family, but for every family who walks through our doors. She has inspired us to always strive to be better parents, better people, and better business owners.

We have been blessed to serve our community through our offices in Surprise, Litchfield Park, and now Goodyear. I have also worked as a dental laboratory technician for more than 30 years, and creating beautiful, healthy smiles has always been one of my greatest passions. Every decision we make is centered around what is best for our patients and their long-term health.

Like many families, ours has experienced seasons of both joy and heartbreak. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we were grateful to continue serving our patients through an incredibly difficult time. Shortly after, our lives changed forever when Craig was diagnosed with cancer. As his illness progressed, my focus became caring for him and being by his side. To give him the love and attention he deserved during his final days, we made the difficult decision to close our Surprise and Litchfield offices.

In 2023, I lost not only my husband but also my best friend and business partner. Craig loved this practice, our patients, and this community. He was incredibly proud of what we had built together. He loved hockey, proudly represented Suncoast Dental everywhere he went, and believed wholeheartedly in caring for people the right way.

One of Craig's final wishes was for his brother, Brian, to help continue the legacy we built together. Brian stepped in without hesitation, and I am deeply grateful for his commitment to our patients, our team, and Craig's vision. His support has been an incredible blessing to our family and our practice.

As I worked through my grief, I realized the best way to honor Craig was not to stop—but to continue growing the practice we built together. Opening new locations and expanding Suncoast Dental has been part of my healing journey and a way to celebrate Craig's life by continuing the work he loved so much.

      Over the years, you may have noticed changes in the doctors providing your care. Some have retired, while others have pursued new professional opportunities. As our practice continues to grow, we remain committed to selecting doctors who share the same values that have guided Suncoast Dental from the very beginning: honesty, compassion, clinical excellence, and genuinely putting patients first. While faces may change, our commitment never has.

Today, Suncoast Dental remains a family practice in every sense of the word. Every decision we make is guided by the values Craig and I built together and by the future we hope to create for our family and yours. We are committed to serving this community for generations to come.

Many of you have been with us for years, and some of you are just joining the Suncoast Dental family. No matter how long you've been with us, please know how grateful we are for the trust you place in our team. The relationships we've built over the years mean more to me than words can express. You are more than patients—you are part of our Suncoast family. Thank you for allowing us to continue caring for you and your loved ones. We look forward to serving our community for many years to come and continuing the legacy that Craig and I began together.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Yenny Cherwinski

Owner, Suncoast Dental
