Dr. Silvera is one of the most attentive dental professionals I have ever met. She spent ample time with me to explain procedures and options and even sent correspondence that was personally written by her! Her work was excellent and I appreciated all the follow up visits to record the progress of my healing. I would highly recommend Dr. Silvera!

Dr. Silvera is absolutely awesome. Very professional and attentive to our needs. She takes the time to sit down and fully explain the procedure, what to expect, and she calls to follow up after the procedure. In the past with other professionals we've had sub-par experiences, but now we are in great hands. So glad we were referred to Dr Silvera.

I've had Periodontal work done twice; one quadrant the first time, and two quadrants the next. Dr. Silvera performed all the work. I have to say that it's been a real pleasure working with Dr. Silvera and the outcome from both procedures was far better than I had expected. Periodontic work is pretty invasive, and the cost is not something to take lightly. But Dr. Silvera was such a professional, and her care so outstanding, that I came out of the whole process feeling very comfortable with the care I received and the results of her treatment. I highly recommend Dr. Silvera. If you even think you could benefit from her services, see her first.

Dr. Silvera is a Beautiful Highly Educated young doctor.She loves School.She appearedTo be training Front office staff on new records system.And i hope willTrain them to tell people How much services will be in total before the procedures.As Physicians normal practice is to not be involved in billing.So this is most certainly Not Dr,s fault.

Healthy Teeth and Gums in Santa Maria, CA is a periodontal practice led by Dr. Maria Silvera Portacio, PhD, DDS, offering dental implants alongside periodontal care. The practice explains that a dental implant is a titanium screw placed into the jaw bone to serve as an artificial tooth root, which is then allowed to heal before a custom crown is attached. For patients who do not have enough bone to support an implant, the practice offers ridge augmentation and bone grafting, which adds healing time to the process.
The practice notes that dental implants help restore the ability to smile with confidence, support normal bite function, and help prevent the sunken facial appearance that can come with missing teeth, since they do not rely on neighboring teeth for support. Patients are told they must be in good overall health, with any periodontal disease controlled, before implant surgery, and that follow up appointments are scheduled to make sure the surgical site heals properly. Once in place, an implant is cared for like a natural tooth, through regular brushing, flossing, and periodic exams.
Care at this practice is provided by Dr. Maria Silvera Portacio, PhD, DDS, a periodontist certified by the American Board of Periodontology. She is a graduate of the Mayo Clinic Advanced Educational Program in Periodontics in Rochester, Minnesota, and also holds a PhD in immunology from the University of Rochester in Rochester, New York. Before practicing in Santa Maria, she practiced for four years in Arizona and thirteen months in Atascadero and San Luis Obispo, California.
