Meet Dr. Mariam at

Sunshine Smiles of Nutley

Dr. Habib is originally from Central Florida. She grew up with a family of dentists. When she was younger, she used to work at her Mom's dental practice, which is where she quickly learned all about dentistry and fell in love with the field.


Dr. Habib received her Doctor of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) degree from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis, Tennessee. She went on to further her education in a prestigious 1 year residency program at St. Joseph's Regional Medical Center in Paterson, New Jersey.


After completing her training, Dr. Habib returned to Florida to run the family practice for a few years. In 2017, she decided to move back to New Jersey where she furthered her clinical skills by working in Manhattan at a multi-specialty practice.
