Meet Our Smile Team

Dr. Paul Silberman opened The Silberman Dental Group in 1984 and has been helping the smiles of Maryland ever since, and he LOVES IT! Read more about his dental journey in his bio.

Dr. Daniel Barakh is the newest member of The Silberman Dental Group and couldn’t be more excited to share his knowledge, humor, and the highest level of care with you! Read more about his journey to dentistry in his bio.

My husband and I run The Silberman Dental Group as a team. We have been married for 43 years, and I was at the front desk when we first opened in Clinton, MD in 1981.

I left the practice when my first child, Joel, was born and returned when my youngest, Lauren, went to college. It is a real pleasure to be interacting with patients again. Some of the patients we see now are the same people who became my husband’s patients when we first opened the practice. Some of our patients I knew as children now bring their children.

I enjoy working with the caring team in our office. The team works to complement one another, and everyone knows their job and does it well! I feel privileged to work with each member of our team.

When not working, I enjoy reading, cooking, taking long walks, and above all, spending time with my husband, my daughter, my son when he is in town and my close friends. My close relationships are my priority at home and work. My husband and I are extremely proud of our two children, Joel and Lauren, who should call their mother more often.

As a member of the dental hygiene team, I must say I am proud of where I am and who I get to collaborate with. The people here are very supportive, and I am confident that anyone who comes to this office will find this to be true.

Before being in the dental field, I was very involved in recreational and competitive dancing, from ballet to tap and everything in between! I still teach dance at a local studio to children aged three to eighteen. Part of being a dancer is appearance and expression, which is why a beautiful smile is important to me.

I have been a dental hygienist for more than ten years, with a growing passion for individualized patient care. I received my Bachelor’s in Dental Hygiene from The University of Maryland, Baltimore Dental College.

In giving back to my hometown, I like to participate in local community events involving free dental care. Outside of dentistry, I have a wonderful time with my loving husband, two beautiful daughters, and two playful pups at home.

My name is Chamessia, but my family and friends call me MeCe for short.

I am not a local. I was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, home of Motown Records. I graduated from the University of Michigan, and I have been a dental hygienist for 13 years.

After moving to Southern Maryland, I started to look for employment closer to home. I asked my aunt, who also lives in the area, about her dentist, and she spoke very highly of Dr. Silberman and her hygienist. I checked out The Silberman Dental Group’s website, and I was even more impressed by the staff reviews and what other patients had to say about the practice. I knew without a doubt that I wanted to be part of Dr. Silberman’s practice.

Since coming to work for the practice, I have been able to utilize so much of what I learned at the University of Michigan. I have been able to provide the best of the best dental care for patients.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two young children. I’m a fan of the Detroit Lions (when they are winning) and a huge fan of the University of Michigan football team (Go Blue!).

As the Insurance and Accounts Receivable Specialist, I rectify accounts, post payments, and send claims. When there is a question with regard to a patient’s account, I am the one to reach out to.

I began working in the dental field three years ago after staying home to raise a family and working as a substitute teacher at my children’s school. My career began as a treatment coordinator in which I found that my love of numbers and problem-solving would make a great impact with Insurance and Accounts Receivable. The Silberman Dental Group gave me the opportunity to pursue my passion!! Everyone in our practice makes the patients feel comfortable and like part of the family.

My time away from the office is spent with my husband of 20 years, Charlie, two teenage boys, Connor & Christian, and last but not least, our sweet toddler Caroline who completed our family (Barbara refers to her as our COVID blessing). Of course, our pup Memphis keeps us on our toes, also. Cooking, enjoying a delicious glass of white wine, and a great movie with my family warms my heart.

I work as our Treatment Coordinator. I assist our patients by scheduling their appointments, retrieving their insurance information, and going over individual treatment plans.

I always greet our patients with a smile and want to make them feel comfortable and at home. I enjoy catching up with our patients, especially those who have been with us for a long time. I let patients know this is a practice with a family atmosphere and they are part of our growing family! Dr. Silberman and his wife Barbara are always fun and a pleasure to work for.

During my time away from work, what I love most is time with my husband and our two boys. I am now also a “Proud Navy Mom” as my oldest has joined the Navy. I love being near and doing anything that has to do with the water or the beach. I am a true blue Dallas Cowboy fan! Dr. Silberman and I have “interesting??” conversations and joke constantly with each other. We both do love our football teams!

I am eager to be a part of a dental team that exhorts a warm smile and heart. It is great to know that I work beside dental professionals who are as dedicated to the craft as I am. Prioritizing the patient first and making sure the visit is inviting, relaxing, and positively impactful is my goal every day as a dental hygienist.

Having a healthy and happy smile can make a difference in your everyday life. After receiving my Bachelor’s Degree in Dental Hygiene from The University of Maryland, Baltimore School of Dentistry in 2018, I am grateful that I am capable of providing excellent care for my patients and honored to have a part in making someone’s journey that much more special.

Outside of dentistry, I enjoy the simple things in life with good food, family, friends, and my cats Nemo and Nala. I look forward to seeing a smile on my patients’ faces before they leave the office until the next time.

As a Treatment Coordinator, I assist with helping our patients understand the treatment recommended by our doctors and fit it into their budget.

I’ve worked in several different roles in the dentistry field, and there’s nothing that makes me happier than seeing our patients getting the smiles they deserve!

I was raised in a military family and have been fortunate enough to have traveled around the country, meeting different people and seeing different cultures.

While away from the office, I like to spend time with my family and friends, work out and eat!
