Marissa Pratt

Dental Office Manager/RDA

Marissa Pratt is a dedicated Dental Office Manager and Registered Dental Assistant (RDA) at Smile Roots Dental, bringing both clinical expertise and a passion for patient care to her role. Born and raised in Lakeside, San Diego, Marissa has always had an appreciation for beautiful smiles—something that even played a role in meeting her husband after complimenting his teeth. She pursued her interest in dentistry early on, earning her Registered Dental Assistant license from Grossmont Occupational (ROP) in 2006, and has been committed to the field ever since.

From a young age, Marissa was fascinated by bright, healthy smiles, which naturally led her to a career in dentistry. She finds the greatest fulfillment in helping patients feel confident about themselves and enjoys connecting with people from all walks of life. For Marissa, the moment she knew she had chosen the right profession was realizing the positive impact she makes each day—going home knowing she has helped change someone’s confidence and outlook.

Outside of the office, Marissa is a social and family-oriented person who loves spending time with friends and loved ones. She and her husband have two children who stay active in sports, keeping the family constantly on the go. With much of her immediate family living nearby, she cherishes the opportunity to stay closely connected. In her free time, Marissa also enjoys traveling and attending concerts, always embracing new experiences and making lasting memories.
