Doctors

For 25 years, Dr. Barry Silverman has established University Dental as part of a Bayside tradition of dental comfort and care by bringing patients only the best that modern dentistry has to offer. Joined ten years ago by Dr. Eric Gott, they have continued this tradition by opening a second location in Bellmore, Long Island.

Both doctors’ top priorities are patient satisfaction and comfort. They look forward to your visit to their offices and to showing you the positive effects that quality dental care can have on your life.
