Highly Recommend! Dr Silvera and his team are incredibly professional, friendly, and attentive. The office is modern and inviting, and the staff ensures everyone feels welcome - this is an LGBTQ+ and transgender safe space. Dr. Silvera's expertise and attention to detail were evident during my consultation for Invisalign and some minor cosmetic dental contouring. He took the time to explain my options and answered all my questions with patience. The results are amazing and actually life-changing - talking, smiling, resting "lip" face are all much more comfortable now, thanks to Dr. Silvera. The entire staff was professional, warm, and helpful. From the hygienists to the administrative team, everyone contributes to creating a supportive environment. I highly recommend Dr. Silvera and his dental practice. Their excellence in care, skill, and genuine concern for patients make them exceptional. Thank you, Dr. Silvera and team, for a fantastic experience! read more

In my humble experience, dentists can be so shady. It's hard to have transparency when you don't know what the baseline is. But when someone like Dr. Silvera comes along, you can breathe a sigh of relief because you can wholeheartedly trust this man. Plus he's attentive, which is so appreciated. I recommend him with every ounce of my being. read more

The dental hygienist is great but Dr. Silvera will recommend all kinds of unneeded work and I don't trust him at all.

I've known Albert for a long time. Aside from being a great dentist, he's one of the nicest people you can meet. Very skilled, very intelligent and he truly cares about his patients. read more

This is the worst dental place. I went there for cleaning, but they said they won't do anything before an exam. So I did an exam there and try to get an appointment for the cleaning. They told me I need all kinds of works done, but they never schedule me for cleaning. But they billed my insurance for cleaning my teeth, which they never did! And they told me my fillings were covered by the insurance, but I got the bill after all the filling done. They told me the insurance didn't cover the white fillings, and they assumed that I don't like silver fillings. Come on, if you don't ask, how would you know if I don't like silver teeth??? And they also over booked a lots!!! I had to wait over an hour to see the dr!!! I will never go back there again!!! read more

Let me start by saying that I have never received anything but the best possible service for myself and my wife over the past few years going to see Dr. Silvera. These rating sites have an upside, in that they make business have a certain level of accountability, as well as highlighting excellent businesses that would otherwise go unnoticed. Unfortunately, the downside is a few bad experiences, or a few angry users can hurt unjustly. Dr. Silvera has never made me feel more comfortable. After a traumatic experience when I was younger, I have run away from dentists, avoiding visits and never finding one I was comfortable with. My wife wasn't much better, (yes, I know, we're a couple of fraidy-cats.) but Dr. Silvera and his staff treated us with respect and presented extremely high levels of comfort throughout every procedure. I would recommend Dr. Silvera to anyone I know, (and have!) without question. I've never waited more than a couple minutes for service, never felt uncomfortable, and have always been treated extremely well. After visiting a good number of dentists in Los Angeles over many years, I couldn't be happier that I found this one. read more

Dr. Silvera and his team are awesome! The service is perfect, and everyone makes you feel very comfortable. Your experience is extremely important to them, and they do everything they can to put you at ease while doing the best job possible. Most importantly, Dr. Silvera couldn't be a better guy, and I really trust his judgment. I have never felt like he's sold me something I didn't need and always gives plenty of options. He and staff really try to educate and inform their patients how to care for their teeth. They want you to invest in your teeth and truly care about your mouth health. I have learned more about how to care for my teeth in the last year than I have in all my 20+ years at the last office! Bottom line, visiting the dentist isn't scary or intimidating with Dr. Silvera, it's comfortable, educational, and fun! I HIGHLY recommend him - he's the best dentist I've ever had! read more

I have been going to see Dr. Silvera for years. I used to have nightmares before going to see the dentist and wouldn't sleep the previous night. He's a great guy and an even better dentist. I have incredibly sensitive and problematic teeth and have never had a problem with him. His office is always squeaky clean and his staff is great. I have had the same hygienist working on my teeth for years so she knows me well. I have no complaints! read more

Dr. Silvera is the best dentist I've ever had in my life! His practice is very well organized. I never have to wait for more than a few minutes. He is very concerned about my comfort during dental procedures, and he does beautiful work. I especially appreciate Dr. Silvera's care for my holistic dental health. He will alert me that I may need to replace an old filling within the next year, or that I need to increase preventive actions to avoid a crown. I see him at least twice a year, and there are no surprises. In fact, Dr. Silvera is more of a perfectionist than I am; he has returned a crown to the lab because it didn't match my teeth EXACTLY, and he even drove over to the lab with me to work together with them to make the right match. Best of all is Dr. Silvera's kindness and caring. He puts his soul into his work, and makes every effort to meet the needs of his patients. My teenage sons love him, too, and never object to going to the dentist because they know they will get their dental treatment in a pain-free, personalized, professional environment. Although we have insurance, there is usually a co-payment, and he is always very clear about what any procedure will cost me out-of-pocket. I have been to many dental practices over the years. Dr. Silvera's is the very best I have ever had the opportunity to experience. If you are looking for a dentist who knows you, cares about you, and will do everything you need for good dental health, I strongly recommend Dr. Silvera. read more

I would like to say that the office is pleasant and easy to find, and there is always parking available. The staff is super friendly, and have all been with him for a long time. They are very accommodating with schedule- even if the office is busy! I love that I can get a text confirmation for my appointments too. I feel comfortable going to Dr. Silvera because he keeps up with all the latest technology, and has even developed a treatment program for TMJ Disorders that I can't wait to try! Even if going to the dentist isn't your favorite thing, I would recommend Dr. Silvera to everyone. read more

going to Dr Silvera's practice is one of the best experiences ive had. I went in there for a few issues and all were resolved in a few sessions. the staff are all so friendly, experienced, and care about you as a patient and customer. the doctor is experienced and gave me on several occaisions different optionsfor treatment plans. He isn't pshy and gave me a priority on the treatments to fit my budget. His work was excellent, he even followed up with me the night of the procedure to see how I am doing. The parking is easy and free, so follow ups are easy. the office is clean and orderly. Best of all he has a machine that makes crowns in 45 minutes, saving the hassle of temporaries, follow ups, and all the time needed for those. I am very greatful for the doctor and his staff, and I am def going back. read more

Dr. Silvera came highly recommended to me by several different family friends when I first moved to Los Angeles and was very reticent about looking for a new dentist after a bad experience with one in New York. I had been looking for someone knowledgeable about TMJ because mine was particularly painful and at the time (this was 5-6 years ago), Dr. Silvera had a really great and effective physical therapy program for TMJ that I did for about a year until I didn't need it. I've been going to him ever since. Dr. Silvera always gives you all the time you need. He's scheduled longer visits for me because of my TMJ. When he heard through the grapevine that I had been taken to the hospital for an emergency, he came to the hospital personally to say hello. I can say without a doubt that I trust him implicitly. The staff is always friendly. Marsha and the dental assistants always ask after my family. I appreciate the texts and call reminders for appointments as my calendar app is not as trustworthy as these folks. I don't have dental insurance and I find everything to be very affordable. read more

After many years of going to a dentist in Beverly Hills that was always trying to get me to buy all of these new, and pretty useless, new procedures I decided to look for a new dentist. I was referred to Dr. Silvera and have been impressed from day one. Dr. Silvera is as good as they come. He is honest and tells it as it is. His work is top notch and his touch is gentle. I trust Dr. Silvera so much that now my wife is going to him. Go see Dr. Silvera with confidence. read more

I have been going to Dr. Silvera since 2004 and have never had the opportunity to express what a great Dentist he is. Just got a crown on Monday (my second) and can honestly say i was totally relaxed, zero anxiety and very comfortable. In all my years of seeing dentists, this was my best experience! While I'm at it i would also like to say that i go there 3 times a year for dental cleanings & i rate the office and staff excellent. read more

He's either a liar or a terrible dentist. A few months ago I went in there to find a new dentist, and it was a slight emergency as I had tooth pain on the day before a holiday. He was the only one I could find. The conversation was nice, the offices were a little dull and lifeless. However I wouldn't have cared if he was a good and HONEST dentist. Alas, it wasn't to be. $170 for him to stare at my teeth and take a bunch of Xrays. I didn't even get a cleaning for that. He tried to sell me on this branded Sonicare-like electric toothbrush that I later discovered had terrible reviews. He told me I have three very small cavities that he would have to fill, and he also recommended these things called Six Month Power Braces. I thanked him and went off on my way. I later canceled my appointment to fill the cavities when I realized he might be playing me. I had never had a cavity in my life, now I have three? Two months later I go to an appointment with another dentist (I considered telling you which, but then you might think I was a shill for them, so I'll just say she was very skilled). For $130 I got xrays that were available immediately on an LCD screen in front of me, a cleaning, and a little lesson on what cavities would look like on xrays...if I had any, which I didn't. She also said the "Six-Month Power Braces" were only good for minimal movement, and that I'd definitely need regular braces (alas). Disappointing. Point is that Dr. Silvera either sucks as a dentist (finding cavities where there are none), or outright lied to me. Either way, don't go to him. EDIT: Oh look, the recent positive reviews appear to have joined and posted one review just for this dentist and nothing else. Surely that's not suspicious at all. read more

I can think of a few things I'd rather do than go to the dentist: eat a plate full of brussels sprouts, listen to Elizabeth Hasselbeck try to put together an original thought or spend hours in 405 traffic so horrific that it makes me want to drive off an overpass. However, going to Dr. Silvera's office is as pleasant as a dental experience can get. Dr. Silvera is professional, extremely competent, congenial and funny. I wouldn't be surprised if he has a certificate for customer service excellency hiding in his office somewhere. Once when Dr. Silvera was running behind with another patient (the only time he's been late with me), he came out *himself* to tell me they'd get to me soon and to apologize for the delay (which was only 20 minutes). I was floored and greatly appreciative. I have had doctors keep me waiting for an hour past my appointment and never have they made mention of their being tardy for the party much less apologize for it. So, two snaps to Dr. Silvera and his staff for that. My time is valuable too and he obviously appreciates that. He also remembers and calls me by name, so there's none of that, "Hey there, uh, girl I saw last week of whom I have no recollection," or, "Hi, Janet, nice to see you again," leaving you wondering, "Who the heck is Janet??" Even the staff is wonderful. The receptionist (I'm sorry if that's the incorrect title!), Marsha, always greets me with a big smile and she has an upbeat & warm demeanor. I am instantly brought to a smile when I walk in and see her at the front desk. I'm smiling just thinking about it. The hygienist is great too. She knows her gums! She didn't lecture me about flossing more to the point where I leave feeling like the worst tooth owner in the world who fails at life and should just give up on living and my teeth. She simply encouraged me to be more vigilant about taking care of my teeth and reeducated me on the proper toothbrushing techniques by appealing to my vanity - I am not interested in having my teeth fall out and looking like I belong on peopleofwalmart.com. I'm saddened to see the 1-star reviews here because a. they mentioned nothing about the quality of care provided by Dr. Silvera and his staff, which is stellar, and b. I've never had any problems with billing. In fact, Dr. Silvera's staff has been very helpful in keeping me apprised of the costs of procedures so I can be careful not to exceed my yearly insurance maximum. Lastly, Dr. Silvera's office is hooked up with DirecTV in each patient room. So, I actually get to leave work to go watch The Golden Girls or Desperate Housewives or CNN while my teeth are being prettified. There's also free parking in the back, so no worries about having to pay exorbitant parking fees to a greedy parking garage. I could go and on with more examples of awesomeness, but I think this review is long enough. I really couldn't ask for more - except, well...could I have just a *little* bit of candy to snack on while I'm watching Law & Order: CI? :)). read more

Eh- After reading rave reviews about Dr. Silvera's office, i decided to give it a try. Lets just say they ran my insurance verification, told me everything they were doing that day was covered, and now i have a bill for almost 200 bucks. After calling the receptionist back a few times, her only response to me was "no i never told you everything we were doing that day was covered". i was in shock because i remember quite vividly telling her that i would not proceed with the x rays/examinations if they werent covered by my insurance. Well, in short- Beware. just because they tell you one thing- do NOT take their word for it and make the mistake i did. You are better off calling your insurance company and verifying your co pay yourself! One star for this office is as low as i could go. Dishonesty is not to be tolerated especially from a Dr.! Hope this helps ! read more

On several occasions I have considered knocking out all of my teeth with a sledge hammer in order to get the opportunity to go in and have Dr. Silvera work on my teeth. The man has the soft hands of a 4 year old baby. Really great work with a nice office environment. I've recommended him to all of my friends and haven't gotten a single complaint in over 4 years of going to him. read more

Dr. Silvera makes the dentist office experience a pleasant one. The drilling is painless and he doesn't push expensive cosmetic dentistry on you. I had a lovely chat with him about the Kabbalah...great! something other than teeth! read more

Really good with dental chickens like myself. My high anxiety and nerves are handled with tenderness and understanding. I love Dr Silvera.

Dr Silvera is good with cosmetic work, but he overcharges and recommends services that are not medically necessary. The hygienist is friendly, but nothing like my regular Larisa at Dr. Elena Benjamin. They did not have florid treatment, and they have used some weird replacement. read more

I have loathed the dentist. I really like this guy. He understands my needs. Haven't had a bad experience with him yet.

I love all the staff here. I enjoy going to the dentist and I feel like they are family. I trust them with my teeth and give them my highest recommendations. I never feel like they are trying to sell me like previous dentist. LOVE THEM!!! read more

I just want to say, I try to schedule all my dental work around visiting my family in LA so I can go to Dr Silvera. And I live in NY. Dental care so great, its worth flying across the country for. read more

I echo the below positive comments. This is a dentists' office that I do not mind going to... Nice office Great Dentist (and support staff) Email reminders about appointments, a real plus. read more

i was extremely nervous about my procedure, a double root canal. Dr. Silvera made the whole thing painless, i did not feel a THING. I'm so relieved and thankful to Dr. Silvera. he's the most gentle, nicest man, highly recommended. read more

Outstanding dentist and great team that works with him. He and his team are great at all they do. I have been going here for the past 12 years. All of my visits were pleasant and very professional. Great dentist on the West side. read more

Dr Silvera is the bomb! I've been coming here for about 3 years now and I finally, after 35 years, enjoy coming to a dentist!!! He's a great guy, the staff is a pleasure and I recommend anyone that needs a great dentist to swing by! read more

I arrived late and was still greeted by warm, empathetic employees who got me in and out and back to the grind in no time. Obviously a team of professionals who know their work as well as they understand customer service. read more

Dr. Silvera is friendly, knowledgeable and incredibly comforting around potentially a painful and/or expensive experience. I sincerely appreciate his bedside manner and his professional expertise, and am delighted to have found a dentist I can count on within a convenient distance from my home! read more

I've had Dr. Silvera as my dentist for many years and he's always been polite, professional and kind. Highly recommend him.

I found Dr. Silvera via 1-800-Dentist about three years ago when I had an emergency and my regular dentist was not available. Dr. Silvera is excellent, makes each visit pain free (as humanly possible), and both he and his staff are friendly and ver professional. I stayed with Dr. Silvera and did not return to my former dentist. What I especially like is the reminders they send (!) and their flexibility if you need to change an appointment. I have recommended Dr. Silvera to our other nuns and to lots of friends who like him and his staff very much. When I needed a tooth extracted, he sent me to a specialist. I feel that Dr. Silvera really has my dental health in mind and when a specialist is needed, he recommends one that he trusts. BTW, the hygienists who work there are terrific. Very gentle and they don't scold you for not flossing! (Though they encourage it and congratulate you when you do!) The office is very clean and you can watch the TV, news, or whatever, while he is working - if you feel like it, that is. read more

Dr. Silvera was highly recommended to us by a trusted friend when we first moved to LA in 2008. I've seen many a dentist in my life and Dr. Silvera's office, by far, has been the most pleasant. He took the time to listen to my concerns and create a game plan for addressing all my issues, spacing out the procedures so I wouldn't be out of pocket all at once. The results were better than I had hoped and I love my smile. His staff is efficient and communicative. They seem to have very current dental equipment because they use gadgets I've never seen in any other office and my dental cleanings have never been more comfortable. We've since moved from West LA to Hollywood to Manhattan Beach and still make the drive to see Dr. Silvera, he's that good. read more

I love this man. He is an artist and does outstanding work. I had a cap installed today and it looks significantly better than the original tooth. He is a master at painless dentistry. His staff is warm and friendly. Best dentist ever. read more

Simply put I'm receiving superb care. Dr S is great! And his staff is knowledgeable & always on point.

Albert is caring and thorough! My whole family has been going to him for years! My kids love going to the dentist!

I could not recommend Dr Silvera (and staff) more emphatically. Professional, caring, trustworthy, are a few words that come to mind. They feel more like family to me than a business. read more

The people were very nice and I felt happy about my treatment. I definitely will go back.

Staff was so friendly and accommodating. Dr Silvera called me himself and provided consultation. The office was clean and comfortable. I found a new dentist!! read more

Dr. Silvera was highly recommended by 2 friends of mine. One of them had gone to him for the 6-month power braces, which I was researching as I had a gap between my front teeth and my bottom teeth were getting crowded. I went in for a consultation, and 6 months later, I couldn't be more pleased! The braces are off and now I just wear clear retainers. They offer financing through CareCredit, which I did because you can pay them back within a year at 0% interest! (My dental plan doesn't cover adult orthodontia.) His dental hygienist, Bita, also gave me a fantastic cleaning after he took them off. I have seriously never had a hygienist that was that gentle, but effective. She told me several times how well I was doing because she felt she was cleaning too roughly, but I honestly felt next to nothing. For those who don't have health insurance, a cleaning is $94, which I've found is cheaper than most quality dentists out there. I'm most likely going to switch to Dr. Silvera as my regular dentist. They also have a huge free parking lot, which is gravy. read more
