Together, they create a welcoming dental home where infants, children, and teens receive exceptional, individualized care.
Dr. Amy Luce is a St. Pete native, growing up in Seminole, FL and attending the IB program at St. Pete High School. She is honored to be able to help the children of the area she grew up in and still lives.
After high school she attended college at Stetson, and both dental school and pediatric dentistry residency at the University of Florida.
In addition to being Chief Resident of her Pediatric Dental Program, during her time there she also won two prestigious awards: The Ralph E. McDonald Research Award and the Richard C. Pugh Award which is given to residents scoring in the Top 3% of their Board Exam.
Dr. Luce’s practice style is warm, genuine, thorough, with a whole lot of sparkle!
Her spirit animal is undoubtedly a unicorn, and she isn’t happy unless all of her patient’s teeth are shiny when they leave!
Dr. Aaron Scheps began his dental journey in Richmond, VA, earning both his undergraduate and dental degrees from Virginia Commonwealth University before serving in the United States Air Force, where he completed an Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency and graduated first in his class. His time caring for children overseas inspired him to specialize in pediatric dentistry at the University of Florida, where he was elected Chief Resident and scored in the top 3% of his Board Exam, earning the prestigious Richard C. Pugh Award.
With over a decade of experience treating thousands of lip- and tongue-ties — including performing a release on his own daughter — Dr. Scheps brings exceptional expertise and heartfelt empathy to every family he supports.
He is also deeply committed to caring for children with special needs, creating customized programs for patients with sensory challenges or high anxiety. His dedication to helping infants feed successfully and children thrive earned him recognition as one of the Top 40 Dentists Under 40.
