My journey to dentistry started in the pre-dental society at UTSA where we went on multiple mission trips to Mexico. There I saw what a huge impact dental care could have on someone's quality of life. From then on I knew dentistry was the path for me.
I graduated in 2010 from UTHSCSA and have enjoyed treating patients ever since. I love transforming patient smiles with cosmetic dentistry, clear aligner therapy, and aiding to relieve tension and pain with Botox therapy. Perhaps the most rewarding thing about what I do is soothing a patient's anxiety and making a visit to the dentist the best it can be. I am also a member of the IAOMT and SMART certified for safe amalgam removal.
Dr. Zenger (AKA Dr. Z) is Oregon-raised. She attended Grant High School, where she discovered her interest in dentistry during a weekend elective. She spent 4 years in Salem at Willamette University before coming back to Portland to complete her dental degree at OHSU. Her love for treating and caring for patients has only grown.
Outside the office, Dr. Z spends time with her husband, twin baby boys and her dog. The family likes to get outside to enjoy what the PNW has to offer, from Mt. Hood to the coast and in between. Their favorite activities are hiking, fishing and sipping a good cup of coffee on a rainy beach day.

The best experience I've ever had in my life. The staff here are above and beyond anything I expected. From the moment I stepped in, I knew I was in great hands. Dr. Zinger is truly a special person and for anyone on the fence about this place, it's the best. No debate. Forever thankful for this team!

The absolute best dental care my boyfriend and I have ever received. We will never go to another dentist office again! Everyone at this office is truly great from the moment you walk in.

Super friendly staff. I will be back here for work and bring my whole family as well. They actually tell you what they are going to do before doing it. My teeth feel cleaner than ever before after the visit.

If you're afraid, this place is gentle as a lamb. Everyone here is kind and patient to their patients, and as a nervous dental patron, I was referred by several coworkers to this place. Was not disappointed.

I must say, things were absolutly fantastic and with no pain! Dr. Miller was the one that worked on my filling. She made me feel so welcomed and cared for like a Mom wouod care for her child. I am so pleased with 82nd Drive Dental and Dr. Miller and all of her staff. I even told them that this visit to the dentist for a filling was perfect! To explain my visit further: I flossed out my filling and since I had no pain or much sensativity I get in to 82nd Drive Dental within 24hours. I arrived to the dentist office and was greeted, by a masked dental assistant with energy and grace. All the staff had medical gear on including high quality masks. All the staff were knowledgable about why and what they were going to do to fit my filling and that made me feel very comfortable and even relaxed - Yes! Relaxed! I have some pretty severe anxiety and was very nervous because it was going to take a bit of drilling and numbing, and I take a while to get numb, but this time it was a breeze due to Dr. Millers and her staffs skills. The only thing I felt was a mild pinch when the needle went into my gums all directed and performed by Dr. Miller. It took 45 minutes and I was comfortable, felt safe, and was entertained by Doctor Miller and her assistants conversations which involved my input and that was very much welcoming and I felt secure.

I was super anxious about getting a crown and the office staff and dental staff were super understanding and encouraging that everything was going to be ok. They were very gentle and talked me through the whole thing. They are a great team!

They are the best. I had an issue, I called and got an early morning appointment for the next day. As usual I was greeted with lots of cheerful welcoming smiles. Dr. Miller fixed my issue and got me back out to take on my day's activities. Looking forward to seeing them all at my next appointment. Keep Smiling

Professional, respectful, and excellent care. Very glad I chose this dentist to visit after a rather long lapse of dental care when my previous dentist retired. Will be glad to consider this my new dentist!

Great dentist office with great staff, I've been a patient since I was a kid. Brad and Ryan both have done excellent work fixing my teeth. Highly recommend giving them a visit even if it's just a check up or teeth cleaning. Brad sold the business recently and the new owners and staff are just as amazing, knowledgeable and friendly. They actually have kept some of his former staff which is awesome and makes me feel more comfortable about the transition. Dr Elizabeth Miller is is awesome.
