Dr. Lyda Lopez DDS

Pediatric Dentist

Hi, I am Dr. Lopez, I am a Pediatric Dentist and I am looking forward to helping your child have a great dental experience. I grew up in Bogota, Colombia, and I’ve lived in the Riverview-Brandon community for 20 years. It has been a joy to see the immense growth of the community over the course of my time here.

I graduated from Dental School at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, Colombia, South America in 1989. After marrying my husband, I moved to the United States and obtained my DDS from Case Western University School of Dentistry, Cleveland, Ohio in 1994. Next, I pursued my specialty in Pediatric Dentistry at Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital and the Pediatric Dentistry Department at Case Western Reserve University.

As a dedicated provider, I am constantly pursuing continuing education by attending annual meetings through the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, the Florida Dental Association, the Southeastern Society of Pediatric Dentistry, and the West Coast District Dental Association. This allows me to provide top-quality care by staying current on the latest and greatest in dental technology and care.

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.

I take extra steps to make my patients’ visits a great one. Children are very perceptive, and I gain their trust by being sincere and using body language and words they can understand.

I have been married for 30 years and my husband is a Physician Anesthesiologist who works in Pain Management in Plant City. We have two children — a 23-year-old and a 14-year-old — and a loving white cat named Coco. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, as I’m involved in my children’s activities. My youngest son plays competitive tennis and I am often traveling for tournaments.

My family is very music-oriented. We love to sing and play the piano at home. I also enjoy traveling with my family, as that has allowed me to value the customs and traditions of different cultures.

Personal Statement

With a maternal approach, I have empathy for the feelings parents have when they entrust their children to me for treatment. I listen to their expectations and work together with them as a team to achieve the best dental experience for their child. I guide and involve parents in every step of the treatment.

With over 20 years of experience, I have treated countless children of all ages and personalities, including special needs patients. This experience gives me confidence that I can treat children in a professional and safe manner. Safety is my first priority.

My goal is to provide personalized, quality care to my patients and to make their experience as enjoyable and positive as possible.

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.
MMorán R.
Highly recommended, Excellent staff, Great financial options, High technology, appointments runs on time. I truly found the best Orthodontist in the Brandon area.
Kayla G.
I have had nothing but good experiences with this office. I've just finished my treatment and I would give nothing but ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ every visit!
Kate W.
The staff is very friendly and I’m really happy with how well everything is going with my Invisalign. I appreciate the interest free payment plan they offer.
Chastity S.
They were very polite as always from when you walk in the door until we leave. The front desk included. ❤️
Bethany R.
Staff are all very nice and provide detailed information and treatment plan. Easy, up front pricing and payment options. Treatment area is very clean.
Samantha M.
We had an amazing experience at Busciglio Smiles! We came in for a consultation for my son, and to our surprise, he was able to get his braces on the same day. The entire team was so kind, professional, and made him feel completely at ease throughout the process.

Everything was explained clearly, the staff was incredibly supportive, and the whole visit was smooth and efficient. You can really tell they care about their patients. We’re so glad we chose Busciglio Smiles — highly recommend to anyone looking for excellent orthodontic care!
Yuli Z.
Never have to wait. The ladies there are all very nice, patience and responsible especially with children.

Edit. 11 months in and I’m disappointed on service. They are NOT open on Fridays. The phones are! SMH but their business sign on their window says they are open. If you have an emergency with the brackets they put good luck or figure it out on your own. Or drive 35 min to Brandon and good luck if the emergency “crew” is available to help you.
Andrea M.
My daughter loves her braces, and the Brandon location is very convenient for us to get to. The staff makes the visits easy and enjoyable, which we really appreciate.”
Shantell M.
You’ll made my daughter feel very comfortable with the procedure.
Judy M.
Very professional but still a warm feeling of genuine care. My grown daughter and now 16 year old son have always felt as though they were cared for here
Definitely the perfect choice for our family
Sonia H.
Excelente Todo todo y el equipo de trabajo son Súper especiales
Cissy B.
Everyone I encountered in the office was welcoming, cheerful and true professionals!
Alyssa M.
I cannot say enough great things about my Invisalign experience with Dr. Busciglio! My smile journey has been a long one—starting with headgear, then braces, then adult braces, and now Invisalign. And let me tell you, the results have been incredible—my teeth look amazing! From start to finish, every appointment has been a positive experience. The staff is welcoming, always on time, and they consistently make sure I’m happy with my progress. If you or someone you know is in the Brandon/Tampa area, I highly recommend this office. I would even trust them with my own kids!
Lea H.
We have only just started treatment, but so far everything seems to be absolutely in order. Everyone's very nice and professional. I have worked in orthodontics for a long time myself, and based on what I have seen so far, I am very happy with Busciglio Smiles Orthodontics.
