Meet Michael Silva, D.D.S.
Computer-Guided TMD Therapy in Olathe, KS
At Serenity Dental, Dr. Michael Silva is deeply committed to improving the health, comfort, and quality of life of every patient who walks through our doors. That commitment is exactly why we are proud to offer Disclusion Time Reduction (DTR) therapy, one of the most advanced and effective treatments available for TMD relief. Dr. Silva has pursued extensive training in neuromuscular dentistry and occlusal disease treatment, and our team stays at the forefront of dental technology to ensure our patients receive the best care possible.
Our treatment philosophy is built around two core beliefs: comprehensive care and conservative solutions. We want to address the root cause of your discomfort without putting you through unnecessary or overly invasive procedures. DTR therapy reflects that philosophy perfectly. It is a special, computer-guided treatment for TMD that has proven to be faster and more lasting than many traditional appliance-based approaches. It can also help in cases of Meniere's disease and trigeminal neuralgia.

Opening up his own dental practice in Olathe has always been a dream for Dr. Michael Silva. He knows and cares about the community because it’s always been home for him. He’s proud to bring his experience, advanced techniques, and progressive dental technology to patients with the opening of Serenity Dental. His passion for dentistry is rooted in being able to bring high-end care to each and every patient. He also takes the time to keep up with the latest technology in the industry.
“Utilizing the latest technology in the dental field is a passion of mine. Advances in technology continue to improve the patient experience while giving doctors the ability to provide superior results with less chance of complications. We use 3D-printed surgical guides for implant placement for this reason. Another example is the Solea® Laser; the laser enables me to do most routine fillings with no anesthesia. People tend to associate dentists with needles, so getting treatment without the use of a needle is something my patients get very excited about.” –Dr. Silva
