Bad Experience at the Dentist? Time for a Fresh Start.
They didn’t listen to you. Even when you said it hurt. Even when you said you didn’t understand. Even when you said it didn’t look good. You felt ignored all the way until it was time to pay the bill, and then they wouldn’t leave you alone.
Experiences like these happen too often, and it’s no wonder why someone who has been through something like this would avoid going to the dentist. But we understand at Silfa Dental that building smiles starts with building trust, which is why our approach is based on clarity and collaboration right from the start.
Meet Chris
Chris is confident, outgoing, and in great shape. While he seemingly had everything going for him, his smile was the only piece missing. Years of wear and damage had ground his teeth down, and every dentist he saw would just give him a quick fix before sending him out the door. He never knew why problems kept coming up or was given the treatment he needed to achieve a long-term solution.
With Dr. Silfa, things felt different right from the start. Using images and digital scans, Chris finally learned why his teeth were in the shape they were. Better yet, Dr. Silfa shared all the ways he could repair the problems of today while preventing ones down the line. It was less transactional and more relationship-focused, completely reframing the way Chris felt about dentistry.

Who Is Dr. Silfa?
If a past dental experience left you feeling hurt, dismissed, or in pain, Dr. Silfa wants to earn back your trust. Coming from a family of dentists and with more than two decades of experience, he knows that trust isn’t given—it’s earned. He takes the time to listen to your story, validate your concerns, and promise you one thing: he will never repeat the mistakes of your past dentists.
We believe that trust is the foundation of all care. We know you may be waiting for us to dismiss or pressure you because that’s what has happened in the past. It won’t here. We’re honest about what we see, what we recommend, and importantly, always prioritize what matters most to you.
We never rush you. If you need to stop, ask questions, or take a break, we honor that without hesitation. You are in control of every appointment, and we’ll never pressure you into treatments you’re not ready for.
Our advanced technology means no surprises or uncertainty. Digital X-rays and intraoral cameras let us show you exactly what we see, so you’re never in the dark. When you understand your mouth, you can trust our recommendations.
Complete transparency is essential, from costs to treatment steps to what we’re doing in your mouth at every moment. We explain everything in plain language before we do it, so you never feel caught off guard again.
We know your previous experiences may also cause you to worry about hidden costs. That’s why we’re upfront about pricing from the start. We offer low-to-no-interest financing through Cherry, CareCredit, and others, so you can break treatment into affordable monthly payments.
Our Dental Wellness Plan is just $40 a month and fully covers your routine visits in addition to offering 10% off most services with no waiting period. We’ll also provide a clear, written treatment plan before any work begins, so you know exactly what to expect financially.
If you’re ready to give dentistry one more chance with a team that truly listens, call us to schedule a no-obligation meet-and-greet with Dr. Silfa. You deserve a better experience, and we’re determined to give it to you.
