Dr. David Leever DDS

Orthodontist

I enjoy international travel with my wife, Geri, and friends, to experience the alternatives and differences of our everyday.

As family grows, we need not travel so far to experience difference!

I particularly enjoy the mentoring of staff and patients, and I am elated at what several have achieved to become dental professionals, such as lab technicians, chairside therapists, dentists, and orthodontists!

Fly fishing jaunts with my dental school colleague in Montana, Canada, and Alaska have become less frequent as well, but the memories carry on.

Our youngest family member, Patches, has taken over for our children, and we are amazed at how quickly she assumed control!

By the way, orthodontics is about “relationship”—the teeth are just the excuse!

Everyone was so nice and welcoming! I came in to fix some glue that popped off from my permanent retainer and I was in and out in 15 minutes. Great experience, I’ll definitely keep coming back to the Apollo Beach location.

Janet A.
Excellent service, very professional and nice staff. My son feels comfortable and well cared for at every visit. Highly recommended.”
Mary Ann P.
I was concerned as to whether or not I would be an eligible candidate for braces due to my having a couple of implants, a bridge and crowns. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that a problem tooth could be extracted on my lower jaw and my bite/dental alignment could be treated with the Invisalign.
Busciglio Smiles is and has always been a phenomenal orthodontic practice. The staff always go above and beyond to deliver quality dental services which ensures a clarity of understanding as to any procedure that is needing to be conducted. Patients are also treated like family which makes it a pleasant and comforting experience in every aspect.
Michelle M.
Clean. Friendly. Knowledgeable. We had a wonderful experience!!
Juleamy M.
Amazing staff! Nice environment. I love how its always an in and out experience and leaving satisfied. Always looking forward to the next appointment! 10/10.
Janet C.
I’ve wanting to get Invisalign for a while now. I could tell my teeth were moving so I did it. I decided to go ahead and them. Although I’m only in week 5, I can tell my teeth are shifting. Everyone at Busciglio has been very professional, gentle, and love what they’re doing. I would recommend them to anyone for orthodontics. They’re great!!
