At Happy Family Dental Group, we’re proud to have Dr. Yara Abdelaziz as part of our team. Dr. Yara brings a gentle touch, a warm heart, and a passion for helping children build healthy habits that last a lifetime.
With a strong background in general dentistry and a special love for pediatrics, Dr. Yara has worked in high-volume practices across Florida and knows how to put even the most nervous little ones at ease. From their very first dental visit to regular checkups and treatments, she takes time to connect with each child (and parent!) to make sure they feel safe, heard, and cared for.
She’s certified in nitrous oxide, experienced with special needs patients, and well-versed in behavior management strategies that help make appointments smooth and stress-free. Dr. Yara is also Medicaid-friendly, licensed in both Florida and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and deeply committed to making quality dental care accessible to all families.
When she’s not helping kids keep their smiles healthy, you might find her exploring local parks, staying active, or spending time with her own family.
Her goal? To make every visit feel like a win—and every smile a little brighter.

A Journey Rooted in Passion
Dr. Chacon’s passion for orthodontics began in his home of Puerto Rico, where he earned his dental degree from the University of Puerto Rico. With a vision to create life-changing smiles, he moved to New York City to complete his specialty training in orthodontics. Shortly after, he became a board-certified orthodontist, a distinction earned by only a select number of specialists.
