Those next few years  Dr. Silvera ventured into other strands of dentistry like implantology, green medicine, and oral surgery. No setbacks were great enough to stop her from thriving. Finally, in 2016, her finish line had reached, her greatest goal was fulfilled. She was then, at last, legally licensed to practice in The Bahamas.
