Meet the Doctor
Dr. Marise Sheth,
DDS
USC-trained. Community-rooted. Dedicated to an anxiety-free dental experience that puts you first — always.
"I don't believe in pressuring patients. You make the right decision for yourself, on your own timeline. My job is to give you the information and support to do that confidently."
A Passion for Precision, A Heart for Patients
Dr. Marise Sheth joined Hillside Dentistry & Orthodontics in 2016 and became its owner in 2020, with a singular vision: to create a practice where patients feel genuinely cared for — not just treated. A USC-trained dentist with a Doctor of Dental Surgery from the renowned Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry, she brings more than a decade of experience and rare technical mastery alongside a warmth that puts even the most anxious patients completely at ease.
"I don't believe in pressuring patients," Dr. Sheth says. "You make the right decision for yourself, on your own timeline. My job is to give you the information and support to do that confidently."
Known for her extraordinary patience — especially with children and adults who experience dental anxiety — Dr. Sheth takes the time to truly teach patients about their oral health, not just treat symptoms.
A proud South Bay local, Dr. Sheth enjoys cooking, traveling, and taking pier-to-pier walks along the South Bay beaches. She treats several generations of local families and considers the local community her extended family.
