The iTero scanner is all about patient comfort. It creates a digital impression that is much more accurate than a traditional putty mold impression.

cbct

CBCT

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a form of 3D imaging that goes above and beyond the detail provided by standard X-ray pictures.

X-rays

Digital Radiography

Digital radiography is a type of X-ray imaging where digital sensors are used instead of traditional photographic film, giving us more accurate scans.

Propel VPro

Propel VPro

Propel VPro works by stimulating the bone surrounding your teeth, helping the teeth to move faster and more predictably into their ideal positions.

Christopher T.
The Busciglio Team was very professional and pleasant to work with. They have made my daughters dental experience a pleasant one.
Narumi R.
I was meant to receive my invisalign today, however I was not happy with one of the features included. Instead of making a fuss, they simply re- ordered them, no questions asked. I really appreciated their kindness as I was incredibly distressed. They are truly a wonderful office! If you are in looking for a new dentist like I had, I highly recommend this place!
Damien T.
Dr. Busciglio and his staff are the absolute best. I couldn't have asked for a better orthodontist.
Dante J.
The Busciglio Smiles team is Awesome, Friendly, Personable, and Professional! If you need orthodontic services, visit one of their offices (I went to the Plant City office). Thanks guys for making my experience a great one. Especially, since I kept putting it off for a couple of years from the anxiety of getting braces.
Mary B.
Always a great experience here for my teens' braces. No complaints. Staff is very nice and accommodating.
Akif A.
Best experiences you can have. Doctor Busciglio is absolutely one of the best doctors. Definitely recommend.

Great patient service. The Dr took the time to explain everything my 11 year old love the way they treat her.

Iretha W.
Dr Derek and his staff are amazing in every aspect of business. I will ALWAYS share Busciglio Smiles with other people who are in search of pediatrics and orthodontics. I have been a patient, as well as my 3 children. Over the years we have never had a bad experience. We have been loyal patients to the practice for nearly 10 years. Thank you BUSCIGLIO team for all you have done for our beautiful SMILES!

As an older adult who has wanted Invisalign for some time, I was immediately put at ease by the friendly and knowledgeable staff. All my questions were answered in a way that I could understand and so, I decided to move forward. I am very happy that I did!
