Dr. Silc and her staff are incredible. This office runs like a well-oiled machine. If you have gum troubles and need an expert who will give you lots of options and really LISTEN to you, this is the place. Dr. Silc is skilled, smart and compassionate. I've done multiple gum procedures with her. Her staff is knowledgeable and kind - they obviously enjoy working there. I would never go anywhere else. You can trust this office for your care!

Dr. Silc and her entire staff were simply amazing! I had a tooth/gum issue which had been really bothering me, and I decided it was not going away on its own, so I was in to see her for the very first time this morning. She recommended a scaling and root planing procedure to help calm it down. This is not the most pleasant procedure, but both her and her assistant Krystina made me feel very comfortable. After numbing up real well with some sort of Novocaine, I felt no more pain, even now 6 hours after the procedure. Dr. Silc is so very knowledgeable, also note that she not only does periodontics and implants, but they have dental hygienists there as well. Thank you for a wonderful experience, I will be back if needed!

I love Dr. Silc! My mom has been going to her for years and recommended her when I needed a tooth extraction & implant. She used PRF because I didn't want to use bone grafting, and she uses state of the art techniques and equipment - so you know you are in good hands. Her staff are amazing as well! I had a tooth emergency this week and she fit me into her busy schedule to save the day....and she showed me why she thinks it could be saved and to not extract it. She didn't even charge me for the visit. That is the level she is at! She told me to not return to groupon dentist I went to, and recommended a dentist to me. She is beyond ethical & kind. She is like a guardian angel - can trust her implicitly.

Best periodontist experience! I was referred to Dr. Silc by my primary dentist and have never looked back! I suffer from gum disease and Dr. Silc and her hygienist, Natalie, are amazingly thorough and gentle. Dr. Silc was the 2nd periodontist I tried as the first one I visited made me feel very uncomfortable and more like an object than a real person. My first with visit at Silc Periodontics was diagnostic in nature to assess my gum health and discuss a treatment plan. Dr. Silc did recommend gum surgery on a couple of problem areas, and I was presented with a treatment plan along with cost and duration. I have to tell you as someone who is very nervous about dental procedures, they always made sure I was comfortable while doing any procedures. I'm the type of patient who requires nitrous oxide before we do anything because I'm that nervous. It's not a problem for my hygienist, Natalie, or Dr. Silc. They make you feel really comfortable with their recommendations, they provide options for treatment and you will be treated with care and compassion. They have wonderful bedside manners. Dr. Silc is even going to work on my implant for me that I need installed which is a huge relief because now I don't have to look for an oral surgeon for that procedure. I have complete trust in her and her team. So happy I found Silc Periodontics and have recommended to family/friends. I've been a patient of Dr. Silc's for a year now and have seen great improvement in my gum health, but it's an ongoing treatment that I have to stay on top of - I visit every 3 months for deep cleanings to keep my gums as healthy as possible.
