As a general dentist practicing over three decades, my philosophy has been to listen carefully to my patients and put their needs above all else. I enjoy nurturing and growing my relationships with patients. Throughout the years, my patients have come to trust my judgment, skill and caring, and really enjoy their visits to the dentist!
Dr. Miller's day-to-day patient contact has given him the experience to advise about any problem a patient may have. Dr. Miller concentrates on the three areas of dentistry that comprise most of the typical dental problems we all have. With any treatment there can be more involved work than appears on the surface and Dr. Miller has the experience to choose the more affordable and best corrective treatment for you.

I've been a dentist for over 30 years. I take great satisfaction in helping my patients solve their dental issues by advising them on how to best take care of their mouth. I have always placed my patients' well-being first, and that's why I have had many loyal patients for 20 to 30 years. I am interested in them as people, their work and family situations, and have befriended quite a few-it's a unique way to enjoy my chosen healthcare profession!
Tooth decay is a very common disorder. It has been estimated that about seven billion people around the world have been affected by this disease at some point in their lives. Don't let cavities linger. Be sure to talk to Dr. Miller as soon as possible if you see a discoloration or feel a sensitivity in a tooth.
Tooth decay, if not too advanced, can be easily repaired with a dental filling. Dr. Miller will fill the damaged tooth by painlessly removing the decayed material and replacing it with a material such as composite (tooth-colored resin), or in rare cases, silver amalgam. Composite resin nearly matches the natural tooth appearance and may be preferred for both front and back teeth.
Alloys may typically be used on the back teeth, as it is better at resisting a fracture than porcelain, and esthetics is less of a consideration. Porcelain is generally used for the front teeth. However, it may be used for the back teeth depending on your smile and pressure generated by your bite. Some porcelain crowns have a metal sub-structure for strength.
One or several teeth can be replaced by several different methods by using bridges or implants. We can replace a missing tooth through the procedure of a fixed bridge, which is a fabricated tooth that is attached to adjoining teeth. It takes two visits to install a bridge and is a popular choice for patients with missing teeth because it can be completed within a few weeks.

Awesome professional and wonderful person. Dr Miller has been our family's dentist since he started his practice. Although he has been practicing many years he continues his education and updates equipment as needed. Patient, kind, straightforward and honest. You will be treated fairly and never unnecessarily. Also, the ambiance of the office doesn't have that scary dentist feel either!
