Born and raised in Lima, Peru, Dr. Silva Santisteban moved to Southern California at the age of 16, where he spent much of his formative years before pursuing his dental education and career. Today, he and his family proudly call Wilmington home and have embraced the coastal community and lifestyle that make the area so special. His multicultural background has shaped his ability to connect with patients from diverse backgrounds and provide care with empathy, understanding, and respect.
Known affectionately by many of his patients as “Dr. S,” he takes pride in creating a welcoming and comfortable environment where patients feel heard, valued, and cared for. Outside of dentistry, Dr. S enjoys spending time with his wife, Talia, a Doctor of Acupuncture in Wilmington, and their four wonderful children. Whether he is playing soccer, traveling with his family, or enjoying a day at the beach, he values an active lifestyle and the importance of maintaining balance between health, family, and community.
