Serving the metropolitan area since 1990 the dentists at The Miller Center For Dental Excellence take the practice’s name to heart. Founder, Dr. R. Craig Miller, a Master of the Academy of General Dentistry, a Fellow of The International Congress of Oral Implantologists, and a Diplomate of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine, is highly trained in implantology, cosmetic dentistry and dental sleep medicine.
Early in 2023, Dr. Miller warmly introduced Dr. Vanessa Ballentine, a dentist renowned for her patient-centered approach to family care. Dr. Ballentine tailors treatments to individual needs, ensuring comfort and personalized outcomes. Particularly skilled with young patients, she creates a positive experience, fostering comfort in the dental chair and emphasizing the significance of excellent oral hygiene. Dr. Ballentine is certified through the American Academy of Facial Esthetics in Botox for both cosmetic and therapeutic enhancements.
At The Miller Center, the dentists strive to be more than just specialists of the teeth and mouth. They look at the entire patient from the musculoskeletal system to the joints with the understanding that good oral health extends beyond the mouth with all systems functioning properly in order to achieve optimal health. Part of this process is examining patients for obstructive sleep apnea. As a Diplomate of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine, Dr. Miller is qualified to ask focused questions and look for signs and clues to address any dental sleep medicine issues.
Building time into their busy schedules, the close-knit team comes together for daily morning huddles and debriefing sessions to talk about priorities, plan for the week and get a chance to check-in with each other. Additionally, they meet weekly to discuss and review patient cases. Knowing that a healthy smile can empower every aspect of one’s life, Dr. Miller authored Get Back Your Smile, Take Back Your Life!: How to Artistically Create Remarkable Dental Results for the Remarkable You, to help individuals on a path toward dental wellness and a healthy and happier life. The practice is proud to offer the latest platforms in technology, but it’s the human touch that makes The Miller Center stand apart.
