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!

Dr. Derek Busciglio and his team are simply fantastic. Amanda was incredibly helpful throughout my visits, and the entire staff radiates positivity—you can’t help but smile when you walk in. Professional, friendly, and genuinely caring, they make orthodontic care feel effortless. Highly recommend!

Everyone was very patient and answered all of the many questions I had and didn’t mind explaining things more then once. I really appreciated all of the care and detail they gave me and my kids!
Chastity S.
Got my daughter in very quick and handled her with the kid gloves she is!! Went to Plant City office and got the same great experience.
Chastity S.
Very pleasant staff from entrance to exit. Consultation was very informative and welcomed questions that were answered with knowledge!!
Chuck D.
My office visit went smooth and the consultation was great. They explained what they needed to do, what it would take and what the best course of treatment would be. The treatment estimate was well laid out and very easy to understand. I would recommend them to anyone who is thinking about getting invisaligns.
Amy M
Everyone there is so kind. I had a great consultation with Amanda and Dr Busciglio. My initial Invisalign appointment was today and Alexis helped me out and she was great too. Explained everything clearly and answered my questions professionally and politely.
Eleise A. M.
Staff have always been pleasant, atmosphere is calm and classy.

Seem very honest... ..we've been coming every 6 months for almost 2.5 years on consult to be ready for treatment. We've never felt as though we were treated differently because we weren't paying customers all of that time.

We got the green light today and are looking forward to treatment results!
Kristin S.
My four children use Busciglio Smiles for both dentistry and orthodontics. We have had an amazing experience with them for the past eight years.
