Family, Cosmetic and Restorative Dentistry in Happy Valley
Most of our patients come to us for everyday dental care: exams, cleanings, fillings and the occasional crown. We are a general dental office first, and a cosmetic practice second, which means you can bring the whole family here and still have somewhere to turn when you want to change how your smile looks.
On the restorative side, our dentists handle crowns, bridges, dental implants and dentures, including cases where several teeth need rebuilding at once. Dr. Miller has published research on dental implants, and complex reconstructive cases are where the practice does some of its most satisfying work.
On the cosmetic side, porcelain veneers, teeth whitening and Invisalign are the treatments patients ask about most. If you are not sure what you want yet, our Trial Smile lets you preview the result before anything permanent happens.
Serving Happy Valley, Clackamas and Southeast Portland
Our office is in Happy Valley, OR 97086, and most of our patients come from Happy Valley itself, Clackamas, Damascus, Gresham and southeast Portland. Parking is on site and appointments are scheduled so you are not sitting in a waiting room.
New patients are welcome, and we will take the time at your first visit to understand what you want rather than handing you a treatment plan on day one.
