About
A practice built on legacy, driven by care

For over 35 years, Cherry Dental has been more than a place to get your teeth cleaned. It's a story of family, dedication, and a community that keeps coming back — generation after generation.

Dr. Maha Hanna

Crafted by generations. 
Built for yours.

Dr. Maha Hanna arrived in the United States with a dental degree and a vision for what a practice could look like. One built on real relationships, not just appointments. Alongside her late husband, Amgad Hanna a.k.a. Mike, she built something from nothing. Before all else they showed up for each other and their community.

Over 35 years later, that vision lives on. Dr. Hanna has spent decades building relationships that run deeper than appointments. When their daughter Dr. Amanda Archie joined the practice, something shifted. A new generation arrived, carrying the same dedication and adding something of her own. Today, Cherry Dental is a practice that honors where it came from while making room for where it's going.

The dentists
behind the practice

Two doctors. Two distinct personalities. One shared commitment to care that goes beyond the chair.

Dr. Maha Hanna

Founder, DDS

Born and raised in Cairo, Egypt, Dr. Hanna earned her dental degree before completing advanced training at UCLA to bring her practice to the United States. She has spent over three decades doing what she loves most, connecting with patients and delivering care that makes a lasting difference.

Her patients don't just trust her. They've followed her for generations — bringing their children, their grandchildren, and the stories of how they first found her all those years ago. Dr. Hanna's warmth is unmistakable, her dedication unwavering, and her commitment to this community something that simply can't be manufactured.

Outside the office, Dr. Hanna loves to shop, spend time with her grandchildren, and stays deeply connected to her Egyptian roots through food, dance, and travel whenever she can.

Dr. Amanda Hanna Archie

Co-founder, DDS

Dr. Archie didn't just choose dentistry. She grew up in this practice, doing her homework in the halls, getting to know patients as a child, and watching her parents build something worth caring about. By the time she enrolled at the University of the Pacific, she already knew exactly where she was headed.

After graduating in 2014 and spending time working with other practices, she returned to where she belonged. Today, Dr. Archie brings a gentle precision and genuine warmth to every appointment and a fresh perspective rooted in the same values this practice was built on. She is there for her patients throughout treatment and beyond. The kind of dentist who checks in a little more than they probably expect.

Outside the office, she is a mom of three who loves to eat, hike, and swim. She has a deep love for travel and shares her mother's passion for all things Egypt— the food, the culture, and any excuse to get back there.

Behind every great practice is a team that genuinely cares

What you can expect when you visit Cherry Dental

01

Even before you arrive

We keep things simple from the start. Complete your new patient forms digitally before your appointment so you can walk in ready to go.

02

Getting to know you

Your first visit is about more than your teeth. We take the time to understand your dental history, your concerns, and what you need to feel comfortable. This is the beginning of a relationship, and we treat it that way.

03

Partnership in your dental health

From there, we'll walk you through a thorough exam and any necessary X-rays. We'll tell you exactly what we're seeing, what we recommend, and why — clearly and honestly, with no pressure.

The art of care, defined over decades

Exceptional dentistry isn't just about what happens in the chair. It's about how you feel walking in, how well you're heard, and how confident you leave. These are the principles that have guided us from the very beginning.

Care that sees you

We take the time to understand every patient as a person. Not merely as chart or number, but their concerns, their history, and what they need to feel at ease.

Craft over convenience

We don't rush. Every procedure, every recommendation, every interaction is approached with the same intentionality we've built this practice on.
