Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Dr. Silke Cummings always felt she would pursue something in medicine as her mother was a doctor. However, after coming to the US for high school, she always happened to find herself hanging around in the dental clinic after her orthodontic appointments. When she finally got to experience a week-long dental summer program at the University of Pennsylvania, her heart became set on dentistry.

Dr. Cummings decided to attend UPenn where she majored in Biology and then continued there to receive her Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry degree. Although she found dental school very demanding, she received the Dean’s Scholarship all 4 years and graduated cum laude. She then went on to complete her orthodontics residency at the University of the Pacific in San Francisco. She is a member of the AAO (American Association of Orthodontists) and is an ABO board certified orthodontist. She is passionate about volunteer work, and especially enjoys interacting with the visitors at her local soup kitchen. In her free time, she enjoys jigsaw puzzles and being outdoors.

When asked why she chose orthodontics as her profession, Dr. Prehn said: “Practicing orthodontics allows me to help people in many ways. Some people seeking treatment are unhappy with the position of their teeth and want to straighten them for aesthetic purposes. For these patients, giving them the smile of their dreams gives them self-confidence. Other people are looking to correct more serious problems that affect eating, speaking and tasks that help them function in life. Whether their problem is mild or severe, it is so rewarding to see patients walking out of the office feeling happy about their treatment.”

Dr. Prehn now lives in Wynnewood, PA with her husband, Joseph and her kitten, Maisie. When she isn’t working, you can usually find her outside running.
