Kendall Dental Associates

​I visited Dental Associates of Kendall on September 8, 2025, for a consultation regarding a sleep apnea oral appliance. My experience revealed a shocking lack of professional integrity and organization that potential patients should be aware of. ​During the consult, Dr. Elvin Silvestry insisted I had a cavity (specifically on tooth #4DO) and refused to proceed with the sleep appliance until it was filled. As I have not had a cavity since childhood and was asymptomatic, I requested my X-rays so I could have my regular dentist perform the filling. When I visited my primary dentist later that week (9/12/2025), we discovered two alarming facts. First, the X-rays Dental Associates of Kendall emailed to me were not of my mouth; they displayed implants and missing teeth I do not possess. This is a severe failure in record handling and a significant privacy concern. Second, upon examination and taking correct X-rays, my dentist confirmed I had absolutely zero cavities. Had I not sought a second opinion, I would have undergone an unnecessary procedure on a healthy tooth. ​To compound the clinical failures, the administrative information provided was entirely misleading. During intake, I was assured they handled medical insurance for sleep devices, and they took copies of my medical card. When I followed up regarding the diagnostic errors, the staff completely reversed their position, stating they do not deal with medical insurance and that I would be responsible for the billing—a direct contradiction to what I was told during my consultation. ​Between the attempt to treat a non-existent cavity, the distribution of another patient's X-rays, and the misleading insurance information, I cannot recommend this practice.

My first consultation with Dr Tydir was exceptional, she was very thorough and professional. Her dental assistant, Mabel, was just as professional and kind. I would highly recommend this practice.
