Dr. Max Silver, DDS

Dr. Max Silver is a general dentist with a practice limited to oral & periodontal surgery, including wisdom tooth removal, dental implants, bone grafting, sinus lifting, and Teeth-in-a-Day / All-on-X full-arch implants.

He is known for his calm, gentle approach, surgical precision, and commitment to delivering a comfortable patient experience through IV moderate sedation.

Dr. Silver and his team work in multiple offices in Ottawa and the Greater Toronto Area to provide seamless, coordinated surgical care.

As his practice expanded, Dr. Silver developed systems to deliver complex surgical and sedation services directly within general dental offices.

This model has grown into a multidisciplinary team of specialists, general dentists, and physicians, supported by centralized coordination and staffing. By handling both the clinical execution and administrative logistics, the team enables clinics to offer advanced care seamlessly.

When he’s not in the clinic, Dr. Silver enjoys spending time with his family. He and his wife, Megan, love discovering new places together, whether that means traveling or simply trying a new restaurant in Ottawa. They’re big foodies and are always on the hunt for great meals and hidden-gem spots.

Closer to home, they enjoy staying active, hiking in the Ottawa area, and spending time on the Ottawa River during the warmer months.

Dr. Silver is also a former professional voice actor, a fun part of his life that often shows up at work — especially with younger patients. His ability to soften tension, and bring a sense of playfulness helps many patients feel comfortable and cared for before their procedures.
