Dr Sydney Finster

Dr. Sydney Finster grew up in a small town in upstate New York, where she developed a strong sense of community and meaningful connection. She earned her undergraduate degree in biology with a minor in psychology at Syracuse University, graduating early and backpacking through 11 countries, which inspired her global perspective and compassion for others. After shadowing a dentist for over a year, she decided to pursue a career in dentistry, earning her degree from the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine. During her residency at a trauma hospital in Buffalo, Dr. Finster gained invaluable experience treating patients with complex dental needs. She later worked in private practice in Wilmington, NC, before moving to Tampa, FL, to be closer to family and continue her mission of fostering strong relationships with her patients and community. She prioritizes personalized, anxiety-free care and empowering patients to take control of their oral health, with kindness and transparency at the heart of her practice. Outside of dentistry, Dr. Finster enjoys traveling, reading, sketching, running, and playing in a local volleyball league. Her creativity and dedication to wellness fuel her passion for building strong relationships with her patients and the communities she serves.
