Comprehensive Family, Implant, and Cosmetic Dentist and Practice Owner
Dr. Jennifer Silvers was born at the hospital across the street from her office and raised on the Peninsula. With a lifelong interest in science, she initially aspired to be an entomologist but soon realized her love for insects was better suited as a hobby.
Inspired by her dentist father, Dr. David Johnson, Dr. Silvers chose a career in dentistry, enlisting as a dental assistant in the US Army. Her military dental training confirmed her desire to become a dentist, leading her to earn her doctorate in dental surgery from the University of the Pacific’s dental school in San Francisco.
Dr. Silvers continued her education and training through a clinical program, residency, and early employment as a dentist with the military, working in Washington state and Texas. Known for her compassion and ability to ease patient anxiety, she was frequently referred to by nervous patients. She received the Thomas B. Hartzell Award for Clinical Periodontics in 2012 and the Army Achievement Medal in 2017 for her humanitarian work treating Native American populations in Montana.
Eventually, Dr. Silvers returned to California to join and later take over her father's practice. She also contributes to the education of future dentists as a faculty member at the University of the Pacific, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry.
