Introducing the Doctors

Marvin Heinbach, DDS

Marvin Heinbach provides patients with gentle, high-quality dental care and to avoid extensive dental procedures in the future. If dental work is required, Heinbach provides choices and options in a way that allows the patient to be fully involved in the decision-making process. He believes patients are best motivated by positive reinforcement, and toward that end he has instructed all staff to convey any necessary information in a positive, non-judgmental way.

Marvin Heinbach’s approach to dentistry is directly influenced by his philosophy of life. Heinbach believes we should seek to serve others. He is committed to helping the less fortunate and devotes a portion of his time to providing dentistry for homeless families in the Lawrence area. He also serves on the board of an organization that helps women facing unplanned pregnancies. This is the same dedication to service that Heinbach brings to his practice. In addition, he seeks to help those animals that love us unconditionally and is committed to supporting local animal shelters, pet adoptions and saving animals from being euthanized.

Haiping Sun, DDS

Dr. Haiping Sun is a dedicated and compassionate dentist born and raised in Topeka, Kansas. She developed a strong sense of community early on, which greatly influences her approach to dentistry.

Her academic journey began at Washburn Rural High School and she continued her education at Washburn University. Her commitment to excellence led her to the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) School of Dentistry, where she pursued her dental education. 

Driven by a genuine desire to make a positive impact on the lives of others, she chose dentistry as a career path to directly help people, work with her hands, and engage in continuous learning.

Beyond her role as a dentist, Dr. Sun finds joy in spending time with her family and friends. With family members scattered across Topeka, California, and China, she cherishes the opportunity to live close to her parents in Topeka, enabling frequent visits and fostering meaningful connections. In her leisure time, Dr. Sun enjoys exploring new culinary experiences, trying different foods, and discovering new restaurants. She also values starting new hobbies, often sharing these activities with friends.
