Fun Facts

Education

I am a board-certified pediatric dentist. I trained at the Strong Memorial Hospital/University of Rochester Eastman Institute for Oral Health, where I completed three years of Advanced Education in General Dentistry Residency, followed by two years of Pediatric Dentistry Residency. I also received my masterโ€™s degree in Public Health and completed a one-year fellowship in the Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities (LEND) program. The LEND program focused on improving the health of children with neurodevelopmental disabilities and special health care needs.

Dr. Hiba DDS

Pediatric Dentist

Hello parents!

My name is Dr. Hiba and I’m proud to be the new pediatric dentist here at Busciglio Smiles, where my mission is to make dental visits a positive and comfortable experience for every child. I focus on building genuine connections with your little ones so they feel safe, relaxed, and even excited to see the dentist!

Every child is different, and I take the time to understand their unique personality and needs. Whether it’s their first visit or their tenth, I work closely with parents to create customized care plans that promote healthy smiles and build lifelong habits.

My goal is to be more than just a dentist—I want to be a trusted partner in your child’s health and happiness. From gentle cleanings to helpful guidance, I’m here to support your family every step of the way.

I am passionate about learning new and innovative technologies to help children have a fun, positive dental visit in a gentle and caring environment. I believe the patient’s experience during dental treatment is as important as the treatment itself. This is why I ensure that relationships with my patients are based on trust, kindness, and compassion.

Outside the office, I enjoy volunteering on global dental mission trips, staying active with CrossFit, and spending time outdoors in the sunshine.

I can’t wait to meet you and your little one!

Heather A.
Since I started Invisalign treatment things are going well. Saw Dr. Buscigilio this time and last time and they said my teeth are looking nice and I am being very compliant. When I went for my 6 week check-up last week, I told Dr. Buscigilio and the assistants that my top trays were not fitting properly so they suggested i make an extra and bring my tray that isn't fitting correctly in this week. When I went today they rescanned me for new trays and told me just to wear my trays at night. Since I have a bad gag reflex it took 3 different assistants to scan my bottom and top teeth. The girl that scanned my teeth last had me bite down on a piece of gauze and that dryed my mouth a little and helped her scan my teeth without me gagging. Thank you ladies. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I will see you after the holidays.
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!
