We happily see patients of all ages, from our youngest 18 month old, to our 96 year old, who still has all of her teeth! We believe overall health starts in the mouth. Medical and Dental research has proven the systemic connection between your mouth and the overall health of your body. Conditions like heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, respriatory disease, some forms of cancer, stroke, alzheimer's and inflammations, are just a few of the many conditions which have been linked to poor dental health. Keeping this in mind, our goal is to treat your mouth based on your specific needs, educate you on how to maintain a healthy mouth at home and to keep you on a regular hygiene cycle. By achieving this goal together, we will help you save time, money and preserve your overall health. By The Lake Dental has a highly dedicated and motivated team of dental professionals who share in this same patient-centric culture. The team covers a diverse set of dental deciplines, allowing us to offer a full service - one-stop - dental experience. We look forward to having the opportunity to share our dental culture with you. We would further invite you to do your own research on By The Like Dental.

    She sat down with me, checked each tooth, properly checked X-rays, and was friendly. I will definitely recommend her. She diagnosed me properly and gave the right treatment. I was out of my pain after only 1 day. Thanks.

    From the moment I walked in, till I walked out, my experience was fantastic. Everyone is very warm and enthusiastic about making sure you know how to better care for your teeth and important steps to take going forward. Dr. Patricia Khamis-Silva was extremely professional, knowledgeable and offered sound advice. I got my cleaning done by Carrie and she was absolutely incredible, so friendly, knowledgeable and offered very specific actionable advice for me to take better care of my teeth. Summer, the patient concierge is also very professional and accomodating and down to earth in energy! The office is very clean and welcoming.

    My initial exam was with Dr. Patricia Khamis-Silva and she was so compassionate and understanding and her assistant Jessica was the same. I returned a few days later for my cleaning and had Martha as my hygienist and she was amazing. Good stories to share and fabulous at educating. I would highly recommend By The Lake Dental to all.

    Amazing!! This dental office is by far the most incredible one I’ve been to. Their technology, approachability, keenness and genuine concern for your oral health is matchless. I honestly told her she made me feel like I’ve never been to a dentist before with the level of care and knowledge she conveyed.

    Dr Silva was professional. She explained thoroughly the steps she and her colleagues were doing for a first time patient like me in the clinic. The what to do and not what do with my teeth and offering advice. Likewise, Andrea, was great! Before she did my x-rays and 3D scans, she toured me around the clinic which was amazing - all up to date equipment, kids area, massage chairs in the waiting area, overall cozy. Liza, on the other hand, while cleaning my teeth, showed her care with the patients. Overall a great experience.

    All the staff were very pleasant and professional. When I mentioned preferring natural methods I wasn't shut down, like I am sometimes with other dentists, but she listened and gave her input on the different options. The office does take a lot of x-rays and offers many high tech options. I also like that the dentists rotate taking a Saturday each month.

    It has been quite some time since I’ve visited a dentist. Overall, I’ve just had bad experiences throughout the years. I was looking for a dentist, and came across Dr. Andrea Tagliaferro’s practice. I decided to give it a go, and immediately I was at ease. The office itself is gorgeous, and my experience with all staff was great, everyone was warm and seemed to genuinely enjoy their time there. I am excited to have finally found my dentist, only a few minutes away from home.

    I have only had a consultation with Andrea, but I can speak to a few things: 1. The clinic has a really inviting atmosphere, everyone was social and comfortable. 2. The equipment they used to take xrays and other images was really high-tech and cool, and they were always super transparent about how everything worked. 3. When I had issues with my insurance company, the receptionist handled all of it with patience and kindness. 4. Andrea was incredibly thorough when she sat down with me after, really talking to me about my dental health in a way that no other dentist has. I feel like I really actually understand everything that is happening, and like I wasn't just being rushed around. I really can't overstate how much better I feel about her than I have any of my previous dentists. She was thoughtful in her answers to my questions. 5. Every level of the experience made me feel like I was in control, was being respected, and was understood. HIGHLY recommend.
