Dental Staff

Dr. Sarah Day graduated in 1999 from Northwestern University Dental School in Chicago, Illinois. She started with Sweetwater Dental a few years later in 2002 and has owned the practice since 2004. Her artistic and creative abilities, combined with a love of technology in dentistry, has allowed her practice to thrive. Her top priority is to create an atmosphere where patients are confident that they are receiving a high level of care, and that they feel comfortable in the environment at Sweetwater Dental Wellness.  Creating beautiful and confident smiles with cosmetic dentistry is her favorite part of being a dentist.  She has been consistently nominated by her peers in the 'Top Dentist' Orlando Magazine edition, and will be featured in the 'Hall of Fame' for Orlando professionals by the magazine this summer.

Born and raised in Boise, Idaho, Dr. Day has a deep love for the outdoors and physical fitness.  She enjoys mountain biking, trail running, road cycling, and triathlon.  She has finished dozens of Ironman triathlon events, and is even world ranked in her age category.  This has lead to opportunities to compete in events internationally, and she is also qualified to compete in the World Championship Ironman in Kona, Hawaii this October.
