Our mission is to continually learn and apply the most current concepts in dentistry, helping elevate the oral and total body health status of our patients.  We are a community health resource, elevating the standard of care we offer by employing a Whole Body Health approach through excellence in minimally invasive General Dentistry and Periodontal Services.

We would like to extend to you a personal greeting and warm welcome to our dental practice.  The Doctors (Dr Silver, Dr Shreck, Dr Varney and Dr Braga) at Lamprey Dental Associates and their team members are committed to doing everything possible to provide you with excellent dental care and ensure your visit to our office is as pleasant and comfortable as possible.

At the time of your first appointment, we will listen closely to your concerns and conduct a thorough examination.  Before any treatment begins, we will sit down with you and advise you of your options so you can make an informed decision regarding the best treatment for your specific needs.
