MEET OUR SMILE TEAM
A CARING SMILE TEAM
...JUST A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT
We love our jobs – we really do. The Silberman Dental Group embraces the concept of “patient-focused” because we sincerely care about taking care of your overall wellness. To us, it’s all about gaining your trust. You can trust you’ll receive the highest level of care in a safe environment.
Doing What’s Right
We’re not a “drill and fill” practice. This Waldorf dental team’s primary goal is to retain your natural teeth and provide high-quality dental services proven to last.
First-Class Service
We’re an open book! Tell us your questions, fears, and desires and we’ll treat you with integrity and respect, addressing your concerns one by one with sensitivity and compassion.
Fun, Sincere, and Caring
You’ll notice a fun and caring atmosphere. We are perfectionists in the care we provide and love it. It’s a fun, loving environment and we show interest in all of our patients just because we care.
Never Rushed
We will NEVER rush you into making a decision you’re not comfortable with. We’ll educate you on what to expect, talk you through the process, and put you in charge of the entire procedure.

"Our dental practice is not a team because we work together. We are a team BECAUSE we respect, trust, and care for each other."
Barbara, Practice Administrator | Woman Wearing Many Hats
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 at work. My husband and I are extremely proud of our two children, Joel and Lauren, who should call their mother more often.

Kerry, Registered Dental Hygienist
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.

MeCe, Registered Dental Hygienist
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!).

Natione, Lead Dental Assistant | Certified Dental Assistant, Maryland General Dental Assisting Expanded Functions Certificate (MDG)
I have been in the dental field for over five years. I can honestly say I love everything about my job! I became a dental assistant through study at the College of Southern Maryland and went on to get my radiology license short after completing the program.
I am convinced that I work with one of the best dentists in Maryland! Dr. Silberman and the whole team work well together and strive to provide excellent dental care to all of our patients! I am honored to work among such awesome individuals.
In my spare time, I love to be with my wonderful husband, spend time with my family, model, catch up on the latest reality TV, and cuddle with my dog! One thing you won’t catch me watching is a Redskins football game. I know our dental team still loves me even though I don’t have the passion for football! And Barbara says I made a great impression at the interview because Doc hired me even though I have no interest in the Redskins!

The dental field has been my joy for three years now. I am a licensed Dental Assistant and I graduated from Prince George’s Community College. I’m excited to join the amazing team here at The Silberman Dental Group where I get to not only expand my skills alongside extremely talented doctors but also help make a positive impact on patient’s lives.

Sondra, Treatment Coordinator
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!

Erica, Treatment Coordinator
As Treatment Coordinator, I am happy to assist patients with maximizing their benefits. I will verify dental insurance and pre-authorize any major dental procedures. I am a Qualified Expanded Functions Dental Assistant with my radiology license in the state of Maryland.
My favorite part of working with Dr. Silberman is when I receive calls from prospective patients with high dental anxiety. I can sincerely assure them that Dr. Silberman will treat them with the utmost compassion and gentle manner.
In my free time, I love spending time with my handsome husband, our two hilarious kids, and our sweet dogs.

‘‘The office was very clean and bright. Everyone made me feel very comfortable. I am very nervous and was very embarrassed about my teeth; they treated me with respect and made me feel at ease. Dr. Silberman is so kind and gentle, and very easy to talk to; you feel like he really listens and cares. Thank you for making my first visit, not my last visit. I look forward to my future visits and being able to smile all the time again. You can tell the staff like their jobs and care about the people they are working with. ’’
