Dr. Sara Silvestri
Dentist
Dr. Sara Silvestri is from Ann Arbor, Michigan and grew up in an environment immersed in both the arts and sciences. Her father is a dentist and her mother is a Suzuki violin teacher. When choosing her career she knew the arts would always play an important role, but dentistry allowed her to enhance people’s lives through their health and ultimately became her passion. She completed her undergraduate degree at Boston University and her dental degree at the University of Michigan School of Dentistry, where she held many leadership positions.
When beginning her dental career, it became obvious to her that the pediatric specialty was her niche. She had experience working with children as a ballet and Suzuki violin teacher, and felt at home working with children and their families. During dental school Dr. Silvestri was chosen to participate in many outreach programs with children and special needs patients both locally and internationally.
Dr. Silvestri moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania after completing her Doctorate of Dental Surgery degree, to further her education and attended the Pediatric dental residency at Temple University Hospital. Here she completed her training, served as Chief Resident, and received the Temple University Hospital Pediatric Dentistry Achievement Award for displaying the most outstanding contributions to the residency program. She is also a Diplomate for the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.
Dr. Silvestri and her husband love the outdoors and are happy to have the Pacific Northwest be their home. She has boys – Scotch and Smith – who keep her busy when she is not at the office. You can find them out riding bikes, playing baseball, ice hockey, skiing and swimming. They love to travel and keep active. She loves working with children and their families to educate and influence them in a positive light, so that they will develop lifelong healthy habits towards dentistry for their future.
