The mouth belongs in the healthspan picture.

I’m Dr. Sonya Reddy, DDS. NYU-trained dentist. Practice founder. Founder of OraSpan.

After 15+ years in clinical practice, I saw a recurring gap: dental findings and the rest of a patient’s health history were too often considered separately. Sleep, breathing, gum health, and oral structure deserved a more connected approach.

Clinical experience. An operator’s perspective.

My career began in finance and consulting, including Morgan Stanley, Accenture, and AIG. I went on to train at NYU, build SmileUP Dentistry, and exit dental practices in 2021 and 2024. I understand both patient care and the practical demands of running a dental business.

A professional mission became personal.

My family’s health experiences reinforced the importance of listening carefully and coordinating care. As a mother and daughter, I know how much it matters when someone connects the pieces.

What I do today.

I bring oral health into healthspan education through speaking, dental-team education, and OraSpan. My focus is practical: notice relevant patterns, document them clearly, and know when another clinician needs to be involved.

OraSpan organizes self-reported information across sleep and airway, oral inflammation, and structure. It supports awareness and preparation for care. It does not diagnose disease.
