Silverdale Dental Center

Myself and my son are both seen at the Silverdale Dental Center. I’ve been to a lot of dentists due to moving constantly with the Navy, and this facility is by far the best. I’ve never waited more than a few minutes for an appointment, the hygienists are fantastic, and the dentists are compassionate. I really want to highlight Dr. Reya, the pediatric dentist, I’m pretty sure she was sent from heaven. My son is almost 4 and has ASD, to say that some things in life are more difficult than others is an understatement.

Our appointment before the last one my son was a champ and did everything compliantly, this most recent appointment he was the opposite. He didn’t want to sit in the chair, didn’t want them to look at his teeth, not even their toy dispenser or kids show on the TV (yes they have a television mounted on the ceiling for your child to watch while their mouth is being cleaned!) was enticing enough. Dr. Reya gave me the option of rescheduling but I told her I was nervous that he would learn that he could get out of appointments if he just fought a little, she understood my concerns and worked with me. After about 20 minutes of letting him inspect the different tools, choosing flavors of toothpaste, and confirming his fears while also telling him it would be OK, he finally hopped up on the chair and let them clean his teeth. Albeit I was on the chair as well as he wanted to lay on me, he was on the chair! Dr.

Reya talked to him throughout the process, always had a calm voice, and sang cute little songs. They even managed to get fluoride applied as well! No x-rays yet, but I feel confident that we’ll be able to get them at the next appointment. Life is challenging when it isn’t accommodating to those that aren’t neurotypical, but Dr. Reya is a shining light in a gloomy world that good people are out there.

The folks here are awesome! I requested an appointment and had one within 20 minutes of sending all the proper information through. 40 min later, I was being seen. Doctor Li was fantastic at addressing the pain in my tooth and getting me a referral to the Oral Surgeon. I will be using this office from now on for all my dental needs!

I’ve been a long time patient here and have always had the best care! The staff and dentists are the greatest! Sadly I’ll be leaving this practice because in the past 5 years they haven’t been able to see me every 6 months due to not enough staff. I have other medical issues that make it important for me to get a cleaning on time.

I’ll hopefully return one day when their schedule is under control.

I’ve been bringing my three boys (ages 3, 5, and 7) to Dr. Reya for several years now, and I can confidently say she’s been a wonderful part of our dental journey. As an anxious and often nervous parent, I truly appreciate how she takes the time to explain everything in simple, easy-to-understand terms. She always offers her professional recommendations while still respecting our choices and never making us feel pressured. Thanks to her care and guidance, many of my concerns about my children’s dental health have been eased, and we’ve come such a long way.

Her staff is consistently kind, patient, and accommodating—especially with the kids. While going to the dentist is rarely a “fun” experience, Dr. Reya and her team do an amazing job of making it as smooth and stress-free as possible.
