James B. Miller, D.M.D.

II absolutely love going to this dental office. Dr. Miller and every person on his staff are friendly, professional and efficient. Everyone makes you feel like you are a part of their family. There is a really nice feeling of teamwork when you are there. I wish I had know about Dr. Miller sooner as I’ve only been a patient for the past 5 years or so. I was even able to get my husband to become a patient and he was someone who had not been to the dentist in over 10 years and now he goes on a regular basis and has expressed the same feeling. If you’re looking for a new dentist you’d be wise to try Dr. Miller.

This was the worst experience at a dentist I have every had. I went in with a chipped front crown, and I had to get it repaired. Dr. Miller replaced my crown, but the moment I got in my car in the parking lot the crown (that took four hours to complete) fell off!!! I went back and he re cemented it. This was the start of a nightmarish experience — for the next year, I had to get this crown re cemented at least four times. With each visit, I felt Dr. Miller and his staff more reluctant and I mean, I did absolutely nothing wrong! The crown would just fall off on its own, and I have had crowns in the past that lasted me YEARS — so I was pretty traumatized that this would happen, esp. to my front tooth. I am in school and work, so to walk around with a toothless smile was not acceptable.
For my last visit, Dr. Miller was grinding my tooth, and I told him to please stop. He didn’t listen to me and continued to grind — I had to physically put my hands up to stop him!
I went to another dentist to fix my tooth and because I had it done at his office, my insurance wouldn’t cover this crown. I had to fight with Dr. Miller’s office to reimburse me payment for the crown so I can get it fixed elsewhere! Lisa at his office was nice when I first met her, but WATCH OUT!!! because the moment you have to discuss something like a refund she turns out to be nasty!!!
Horrible dentist, and I felt inclined to write this review to prevent anyone else from going through this experience…

I have been very happy with Dr. Miller’s dental care and the quality and professionalism of him and his entire staff.

I have been going to Dr. Miller’s office for a couple years now and have loved this place. I am always walking out with a great smile. Their service is great and kind. This place is also just right around the corner from where I live, so it is very convenient. Very happy and will keep going back.

I just changed my dentist and I had my first visit at James B. Miller dental office. I usually don’t say this often, especially, about dentists, but I loved my visit! I had a very warm welcome from the front desk ladies when I first came. Amber, their hygienist, is an absolute sweetheart and a very personable lady. She was very careful and gentle with my teeth to make sure not to hurt me and she spent a lot of time explaining everything she was doing and making sure she knows all she needs about my teeth and health. Dr. Miller was very nice and patient explaining what was going on with my teeth. The office has a «family practice» vibe and everyone in the office I met was very nice. I am so excited that I finally found a dental office that I am happy with! I definitely recommend them if you are looking for a good, personable, caring dentist!

After a bad experience at another dental group in the area (Modern Blah Blah Blah) and needing to get some work done I decided to give Dr. Miller a stab at it. I knew I needed a crown and a cleaning. They got me in right away for the cleaning and the crown assessment. The staff in the front office is super friendly, Travis (dr. Millers Assistant) was great to work with and Dr Miller himself is very professional, friendly and efficient, and I mean efficient. When it came time for the crown Travis had everything teed up for the Dr to swoop in and get the work he needed to do done. They told me exactly what they were doing, how long it would take and executed. Without question the most speedy and detailed crown I have ever had done. And to top it off they followed up with a phone call to make sure everything was working as required (I do need to go back for an adjustment on a retainer I have). Happy to find a good dentist for my family because finding the right dentist can really bite!

Remarkable dental office! Professional team. Dr. Miller offers the highest quality care in a very comfortable environment.

Kimberly is excellent dental hygienist
Lenap surgery greatly improved my gums in spite of skepticism by periodontist

I’m still a loyal patient of Dr. James Miler. He’s a great dentist and it’s a non-​stressful experience visiting his office. They are always on schedule. Love the massaging chairs!

I’ve been going to Dr. Miller for over three years now. I used to dread going to the dentist! However, Dr. Miller and his staff have made what was once a painful experience much more comfortable. I highly recommend his services. You will not be disappointed!

Dr. Miller and his staff provide world-​class service and employ the latest in dental tech, truly a cut above the rest. I highly recommend his services!

I absolutely loving going to see my dentist because the entire staff treats you like family. I used to go to another dentist, but my husband and his family kept raving about Dr. Miller. I was hesitant but within moments of stepping into the office, I was welcomed with open arms. They had heard all about me and were so glad I came to see them. About 3 years later and I am so happy I made the switch. I recommend anyone to Dr. Miller and staff as you will not be disappointed and you will love to go to your dentist appointments.

I have been seeing Dr. Miller for a few years now and the service has always been fantastic. Love that they open at 7:00a so that I can get in, get my teeth cleaned and get to work! The staff is always friendly and helpful – really can’t complain.
Whenever I have a problem they always recommend a solution and can show me pictures or images so that I understand the problem.

My wife and I have been going to Dr. Miller for about 10 years now. The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming, hardly ever have to wait to be seen, and Dr. Miller is extremely professional. Highest of recommendations!

Dr. Miller and the Hygentist are beyond friendly, hardworking and committed to the practice.

It’s been over a year since the procedure. I wanted to give my teeth a generous amount of time to settle as much as possible so I could give a fair review. Hopefully the details here will help educate others so they can have a better outcome than I did.
The Situation: I had two molars with large, old metal fillings that needed to be either re-​filled, or likely crowned. I had no pain, no infection, no bite issues, perfectly functioning teeth, just needed to be replaced to prevent future issues. I was going to go with traditional crowns. But my boyfriend had gone to Dr. Miller about two years ago for Cerecs, the «one day» ceramic crowns. They are supposed to save precious tooth structure as they are really bonded onlays instead of wrap-​around crowns, and supposedly don’t require the shaving down of the tooth that traditional crowns do. I called Miller’s office and got a consultation. He was very high on the whole Cerec technology and so, did not discuss any downside to the Cerecs. I decided to give it a try.
The Procedure: Cerecs are NOT like traditional crowns. You are permanently bonding ceramic material to your tooth, so it has to be perfect, which involves grinding out the old fillings and prepping the teeth, dusting titanium dioxide powder on the tooth surface, digital 3-​D cameras, designing the new onlays with a computer then cutting the onlays in the machine (waiting time), then the first fitting, then baking (more waiting time), then fitting again, build up, bonding, and finishing. And the material is ceramic, not porcelain like traditional crowns, so it cannot be polished once the surface is adjusted, so the surface is not smooth like a real tooth or like a traditional crown. This is important.
Between the constant pulling on my lip with various tools and the rough treatment during the grinding out of the old fillings, for the first time in my dental patient career, I ended up with a bruised and raw inner lip, badly scraped gums around the new onlays, really messy. Because it took so long in between the first numbing and when they actually bonded the final onlays (he overbooks), I had to be numbed up twice.
FOUR HOURS after I arrived at his office, he was finally done. In pain and pretty shaken up, I was wisked up to the front office and promptly seated in a chair and asked for my credit card. No, «how are you?» or «how did it go?» I think they didn’t need to ask as I suspect they already knew that it usually doesn’t go very well.
The Outcome: After the first adjustment is when the severe jaw pain started. Miller said that he would do «whatever it takes» to get the bite right. I came back a second time and found out what he meant… he started grinding down the teeth AROUND the crowns, including teeth that were no where near the area he worked on. Then my bite was REALLY off. I told him to just stop. Why was he grinding down my other teeth when the only things that changed in my mouth were his two crowns? He pronounced his crowns as «perfect» so it must be that all my other teeth are the problem? Really? He’s a nice guy, personality-​wise, but this was ridiculous.
The Aftermath: Because of the bite now being really off, the jaw muscle pain escalated to my throat and neck, along with the tooth pain. I was referred to another dentist from a good friend (See my separate review of Your Family Dentist) who really helped me ease the muscle pain. He did not criticize Miller, but nor was he pleased with what he saw; not the margins, the anatomy of the teeth (they are almost without any edges for biting), nor with his grinding down of my good teeth around the crowns. «It’s not like a haircut» he said. «They won’t grow back.» Luckily, the pain has subsided, but the wide margins will remain for good. Bottom line: Be very cautious with Cerec technology and the dentist who administers it. Or better yet, just go traditional if you can.
At a side note: All those 5-​star
reviews are by invitation only… so when they think they might not get a stellar review, they simply don’t invite that patient. This keeps those reviews «clean» of any truthful, negative experiences. Great for the dentist, not so good for the potential patients.

Dr. Miller and his staff are wonderful. Someone at work originally recommended him as he took our insurance and my whole family has been coming ever since. His entire staff is wonderful, but Travis and Lisa are my favorites. Always friendly and truly caring. And, they really get to know their patients. Highly recommend!

Being new to the valley I really did not know how to find a good dentist. I went to Dr. Miller specifically because he had such great reviews on Unilocal. I am so glad that I went to his office. The staff is so warm, friendly and caring that you truly look forward to seeing them. As for Dr. Miller, I can not say enough about what a great dentist he is. After so many years of dreading photos and not wanting to smile, he gave me a wonderful reason to smile. I have had so many people comment on the difference and tell me how great I look. I really appreciate all he did for me!

OK — I admit it — I HATE THE DENTIST! So getting me to go to the dentist after _​_​_​years, was an adventure for my other half. (He’s been very happy going to Dr. Miller for about 3 years; they met playing adult hockey.) Dr. Miller talked with my other half spoke about the procedures and first trip was uneventful. (While Dr. Miller deserves most of the credit — the other half did provide moral support throughout the process!!!) Xray’s, some basic cleaning and Zoom whitening. I survived, and the staff was so thoughful — they knew I had bad experiences in the past and all checked on me. Travis was great on the whitening; talking to me through the entire process.
Two weeks later — I went BY MYSELF! This time, a deep cleaning and three caps/​bonds to even out some chipped teeth. All good — the deep cleaning did not even hurt and I was very apprehensive. Again, whenever I got a little nervous and needed to take a break; Dr. Miller stopped and let me do so. He’s a very thorough, but thoughful and caring dentist. The staff is wonderful — Linda, Michael at the reception desk and the office is very modern and clean. (The massage chairs are nice!) My teeth look and feel great. Whenever I mentioned a «rough spot»; Dr. Miller polished it out — he did not complain about my sensitivity and the fact that I really needed some extra polishing — I suppose I have a sensitive tongue/​mouth.
I talked to two of my other « Unilocal» friends who also did not like the dentist and all are patients of Dr. Miller. While we all still hate going to the dentist (Basically, we all had bad experiences as kids/​young adults.), we all agree that Dr. Miller is THE BEST DENTIST we have gone to. I’ll be back in three months for a regular check-​up.

I hate dentists! However, Dr. Miller is so nice and personable and has a tender, soft touch that I don’t mind going to see him every six months when I have my cleaning and check ups. He also doesn’t try to sell you more services or stuff that you don’t need. His staff are all so nice and welcoming and helpful, making one feel at home and they truly care about you as a person. I’m having some crown work done next week so I hope and I know that Dr. Miller will take good care of me…
