The Hunters Creek Difference
Why Lake Nona Families Choose Our Team
Our goal is not simply to complete an appointment. We want children to build trust in dental care and parents to leave with clear answers.
Specialized pediatric care is about more than treating teeth. It is about helping children feel safe, understood, and proud of the progress they make.
Personalized by Design
Every child receives care based on their needs, comfort level, and stage of development.
Whole-child care.
Reliable guidance for both children and parents.
Personalized Care for Every Child
Treatment plans and communication are adapted around the child rather than forcing every patient into the same experience.
A Gentle, Kid-Focused Approach
The team explains each step using reassuring, age-appropriate language and gives children time to feel comfortable.
Board-Certified Pediatric Expertise
Dr. Mona’s advanced specialty training supports care from the first tooth through the teenage years.

Nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and in-office IV sedation may be considered according to your child’s health, anxiety, and treatment needs.
Pediatric Dental Emergencies
Guidance and treatment for toothaches, broken or knocked-out teeth, swelling, dental infections, oral injuries, and jaw trauma.
Silver Diamine Fluoride
