Dr. Howard Silverman, DDS

Endodontics occupies a quiet but essential corner of dental care, where precision meets patience. Dr. Howard Silverman, DDS practices this specialty on Staten Island, offering root canal therapy and related treatments in a neighborhood where midcentury homes line the streets. The office sits at 460 Brielle Ave, a block that sees its share of commuters heading toward the Verrazzano but remains firmly rooted in local routines. Procedures here cover the full scope of endodontic needs—diagnosing tooth pain, performing apicoectomies, and addressing dental trauma—without the broader menu of a general dentist.

Staten Island’s south shore has long been a place where practicality outweighs flash, and this practice fits that mold. Patients arrive for retreatment cases or cracked tooth evaluations, often referred by their regular dentists for problems requiring microscopic attention. The phone rings at (718) 317-3000 for appointments or questions about post-treatment care, and the map pin drops neatly between Hylan Boulevard’s commercial stretch and the quieter residential grids. For those plotting their route, the directions cut through a slice of the borough that still feels like a collection of villages. Around here, a good endodontist is the kind of resource people tuck into their contacts—and hope they’ll rarely need.
