General Dentistry
Our preventive dental services combine advanced diagnostics with personalized oral health education. Patients receive comprehensive exams, digital x-rays, and periodontal evaluations to maintain optimal oral health. Our approach emphasizes early detection of conditions like gum disease and oral cancer while integrating modern techniques such as saliva testing for HPV and genetic predispositions.
Cosmetic Dentistry
We specialize in smile transformations through teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and SureSmile aligners. Our digital imaging technology creates preview simulations while Botox and dermal filler treatments address facial aesthetics. Custom treatment plans focus on achieving natural-looking results that enhance both appearance and oral function for lasting confidence.
Restorative Dentistry
Our restorative solutions include metal-free fillings, crowns, and full-mouth reconstructions using durable, aesthetic materials. Advanced CEREC technology enables same-day crowns while implant dentistry offers permanent tooth replacement options. Specialized treatments address TMJ disorders, sleep apnea, and complex cases requiring coordinated specialty care.
Dental Implants
We provide permanent tooth replacement solutions through dental implants that mimic natural tooth structure. Our guided surgery techniques ensure precise placement while partnering with specialists for complex reconstructions. Complimentary implant evaluations assess candidacy for this long-term solution that preserves jawbone integrity and restores chewing function.
Same-Day Dentistry
Utilizing CEREC technology, we deliver crowns, inlays, and veneers in a single visit. This digital workflow eliminates multiple appointments while maintaining precision. Ideal for emergency repairs or time-sensitive needs, our same-day restorations use high-strength ceramics that match natural tooth aesthetics and durability.

I had a great experience at this office. I drove across town from Winter Garden specifically for a type of mouth guard that it seems he is the only person in town offering. What I encountered was an extremely well organized office with state-of-the art technology that was able to do much more for me than I would ever expect from a dental office. The tour prior to service was a little cheesy but I appreciated the friendliness of the staff and that Dr Melendez took time to explain his findings to justify his plan of care. Worth the money and time to drive here.

Extremely financially aggressive. Thankfully there’s a hundred different dental places in Lake Nona.

Been going to this dentist for the last few years and never had a problem with them. Always very nice and very helpful although always extremely expensive. Today I go in for my cleaning and I'm told I need to get x-rays. I advised I did not want to have x-rays I do not feel the need for them as they were just done in 2019 not even two full years. I was then told it is a law that I need to have them otherwise they cannot see me. When I questioned this and ask them to show me the law and state the statute they could not do so. I turned to Google to ask if it was a law that dentists are allowed

I went in for 10 porcelain veneers. The veneers were NOT approved by me they were unsymmetrical and did not match my specifications. Once I realized They could not get the job done we agreed to give me a full refund so I can go elsewhere. I signed for the full amount charged to be refunded in office. Once I left I waited a few days and my refund was only given of 50% of the money I paid. I left there in plastic temps and Dr. Melendez and Nona Smiles stayed with $6,000 of my money. Dr. Melendez's time cost me $6,000. I called the office to question why I was not refunded $6,000 of my money

Just left Nona Smiles after being told that I had an appointment for an exam, X-ray, and cleaning. From the moment I walked in there was an issue between me having to fill out duplicate paperwork, then not willing to verify my insurance, and then wanting to tell me the cost of my appointment AFTER I received services. Mind you once I made it clear that I had insurance for full coverage of these services and filled out paperwork I was then advised that they would not have time to do my cleaning. Honestly, why would I take time out to go to the dentist and NOT get a cleaning. Seemed very much like
