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!

Everyone is always keeping us in the loop with how everything is going and what the next steps are.
Merry M.
Knowledgeable caring people I highly recommend Busciglio orthodontics
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.
Al G.
Great patient service. The Dr took the time to explain everything my 11 year old love the way they treat her.
Rick G.
In for a check up, out with a new set of invsaligns and a Happy smiling teenager.
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!
LAURA S.
Great experience! Super friendly staff and they were very patient with explaining the next steps.

Cecilia S.
I just started my orthodontic treatment and I’m already so impressed! The staff is incredibly welcoming and made me feel comfortable right away. The orthodontist took the time to explain everything clearly and answered all my questions. The office is clean, organized, and runs smoothly. I’m excited to continue my treatment here and highly recommend them!
Sandra E.
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!
