C.W. Digges, D.D.S. began his dental practice in Columbia in 1905. His office was located on the 4th floor of the Exchange Bank Building on Broadway (currently the site of the Landmark Bank Building). He served as President of the Missouri Dental Association and as Secretaryof the MDAfor many years.
Ercell L Miller, D.D.S. and his wife moved to Columbia with their two young sonsin 1948 after serving as a dental officer in the United States navy. He joinged Dr. Digges in the Exchange Book Building office and purchased the practice later that year after the untimely death of Dr. Digges
Dr. Ercell Miller moved into his new office building at the corner of 10thand Locust Street, designed by local architect Hurst John, in 1956. The new dental office was the first centrally air conditioned professional office in Columbia and, at the time, was truly state-of-the-art.
Dr. Ercell Millers first son, Douglas, graduated from UMKC School of Dentistry in 1971 and joined his father in the practice in Columbia. Wanting a smaller town to live in, Dr. Douglas Miller started a practice in Fayette, Missouri in 1974. That same year his brother, Lynn, graduated from UMKC school of Dentistry and joined their father in the Columbia practice. Dr. Douglas Miller continued to travel to Columbia one day a week to perform certain special procedures. Thus, Miller Dental Associates was formally formed.
In 2006, Miller Dental Associates moved one block south into a new building at 10th and Elm Street. At the same time, Dr. Doug Miller moved his practice from Fayette into the new office and continued to practice there until his retirement in 2011.

The employees are very rude here and will tow your car. I would recommend going anywhere else but this place. Do not give them your money.

My family and I have seen Dr. Webb Rooney for over 16 years. I have nothing but great things to say about his staff and the care I have received. I had a lot of dental work over my lifetime, and he by far is my favorite dentist! The staff is very professional and the dental work is excellent. One reason I hesitate to move from Columbia is because I can't imagine finding another dentist I like as well as Dr. Rooney.

I have been seen at this office since I was 5 years old. Now that I have a family, I would never dream of taking them anywhere else. My daughter (at less than 2) knocked out one of her front teeth. Dr. Miller was great to ease my fears and look at pictures after hours. This year when my son got 3 teeth busted out playing baseball Dr. Rooney couldn't have been better. He came to the ER to take a look then headed to his office to get ready for us. These guys are absolutely the best!!!

Dr. Miller and staff provided amazing service for our away from home student who needed a replacement retainer ASAP. Staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and very efficient. Thank you Miller Dental Associates for keeping our student's smile bright and beautiful! Would highly recommend.

I had a terrible experience with this business. I wouldn't go here. There are many better options.

Was told that my exam and teeth cleaning would be a certain amount. Then they added things on extra that weren't discussed. Overcharged approximately $200 from what they told me it would be. Why would a local business scam college students this way?

I used to recommend Miller Dental to all of my family and friends, but they seem to have lost good business practices in the last few years. They did not let me know in advance that a treatment was not covered by my insurance, charging me several thousand dollars when there were other options that could have been used. When I chose to do monthly payments, I had to call them every single month to have a charge removed for not having my bill paid in full. On other occasions, the services were never run through insurance and several phone calls were necessary to sort The issue out. The staff that I spoke to for billing was always extremely rude and seemed to have zero education on how to do her job. I refuse to return to this office because it is excruciating to deal with billing and I feel like their practice is dishonest. The work that was done on my teeth was always done very professionally and the dentists are both very friendly, which is the only reason I have given 2 stars instead of 1.

I am retired army and have been to dentists literally all over the world... Best dental experience hands down. No up sale on unnecessary work. Quick, efficient, and as everyone else said... Best staff in the city! Do yourself a favor and save money while getting a first class experience. Absolutely pain free!

My family and I have been with Dr. Miller and Dr. Rooney for many years. We could not be happier with the dental care we receive from both of them. Plus added bonus the staff is AWESOME!
