Meet the Staff

Dr. Belkis Musalen-Jones, a longtime Lakeland resident, had built her highly respected dental practice across the county in Haines City. She moved her practice and staff to Lakeland in 2006, fostering a partnership with her patients and providing them with exceptional care is of the utmost importance. Creating healthy, beautiful smiles is more than just her day job, it's her passion. ' I love what I do. Seeing my patients regain their confidence by improving their smile is very satisfying.'

Practicing since 1987, this mother of four is still excited about dentistry. 'Dentistry is a joy for me. I love to help people regain a beautiful smile. It's wonderful to be able to do that.'

Dr. Gabriela Larrea-Martinez is a Polk County native and was raised in Winter Haven, Florida. She attended The University of Florida in Gainesville for her undergraduate degree in biology and The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) for her Doctorate in Dental Medicine. 

Dr. Larrea-Martinez joined the practice in July 2022 and is currently accepting new patients. She loves living in Lakeland and is excited to be treating community members alongside her long-time mentor, Dr. Musalen-Jones. 

'My favorite part of dentistry is making a difference in people’s everyday lives by giving them a brighter and healthier smile.'
