Dentistry as a profession runs in the Silva family. Not only was my father a dentist, but seven of my eleven siblings are also dentists. As an orthodontist in Lakewood, CO, I love what I do and enjoy providing the very best service to my patients. I feel blessed to be able to change teeth positions into the most beautiful smiles.
I have been in education as a faculty member for the past 33 years of my life, I love to share what I do, what I know and also learn what I don't know. I am an eternal student! I have found in dentistry a very rewarding profession, our patients are the best of our daily work, I love to interact with them, get to know them and share many things.

Do you need Orthodontics? Lakewood residents should know the American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children of about seven years are examined for the first time by an orthodontist (at that age permanent teeth begin to appear in the mouth) to identify any potential problem. Early detection and orthodontic care in Lakewood can help prevent possible tooth extraction or possible problems later.
Stainless steel (metal) are the most popular and traditional. Metal braces straighten your teeth using and brackets and archwires. Today the brackets are much smaller than they use to be and allow customization with different colors elastics. Self-ligating braces are similar to traditional braces, however these type of braces do not require the use of elastics.

OMG!, My world is going to end! That can be a typical response when a teenager is told he or she will have to have braces. Dr. Silva would like to assure all teens that those horror stories they have heard are not as bad as all that. Today the brackets are much smaller than they use to be and allow customization with different colors elastics and wire guides.
Adult braces are no longer as taboo as they once were, with more stylish and practical designs, braces are no longer just for children and teens. The number one reason for adults to choose a Lakewood Orthodontist is the importance of a healthy mouth. Misaligned or crooked teeth allow food and plaque to hide and over time lead to decay, gum inflammation and gum disease.

Yessica was very gentle and always let me know if I needed to turn right or left. Her instructions were clear and easy to follow. She is efficient and pleasant to have as an EDDA. Glad she was the one to work on my mouth. I always referred Silva orthodontic to all I meet and let them know what a fabulous job they preformed. I hand there card out as well.

Since a young age I’ve always known I’ve had a terrible underbite and at 20 years old it began to cause me pain at even the slightest jaw movements. I called many orthodontist offices and was told because of my age and the severity of my underbite I required jaw surgery to break my jaw and push it back into the correct position. Thankfully I came across Silva Orthodontics and at my consultation Dr.Silva convinced me to try braces, bands, etc to try and move my jaw in order to avoid the major surgery everyone else had recommended. Well 2.5 years later and with a significantly cheaper, less painful

Dr. Silva and his team are the best out there. This was my second round of braces ( the first round a different dentist never completed the treatment). I can definitely say this time around was much better. Dr. Silva ,in comparison with my last orthodontist, was professional, always communicating with me about my progress, and talked about my main goals. He would always ask if I was happy with the ongoing results, what changes I would notice, or if there was something I didn’t like. He was affordable and willing to work with me when it came to payment plans. The staff is also really professional

They're a great place but when they were removing my braces they were really aggressive with it and it chipped my tooth. When I had mentioned it they said they could fix it some other time and that never happened. It's a shame cause I waited so long to have "perfect teeth" and now my front tooth is chipped. It's not a big chip but I'm still insecure about it and sometimes it's sensitive. Overall it's a good place but please be more careful.
