Dentistry gives me the opportunity to not only do what I love, but also to be with people who mean so much to me every day. I enjoy the chance to meet so many fantastic people and be able to build wonderful relationships that have lasted for so many years.
Each day, incredible people give me the chance to be part of their lives and make a difference. Whether its a small impact or one that effects a big change in their health, I am privileged to be able to participate in their life.
I attended Indiana University for my undergraduate education and the University of Iowa College of Dentistry for my Doctorate of Dental Surgery. I attended the University of Iowa Hospitals &Clinics for my residency and training in medically compromised patient care and advanced education in general dentistry.
In the years since completing my formal education, I have continued to keep abreast of the most advanced, clinically sound procedures and technology. I am involved in education for Invisalign, TMJ dysfunction and treatment, implants, sleep apnea, cosmetic and restorative dentistry, and endodontics, which allows me to provide the utmost level of care to my patients.
I like to refer to my staff as my Dream Team. They are exceptional in everything they do, whether theyre greeting you when you call or come into the office or helping you back in the rooms. I have had the pleasure of working with each person on this team in some fashion throughout my career, and now we are all under one roof.
I am married to Dr. Eric Van Miller, a local pediatric dentist and a Green Bay native. We have three wonderful children and a dog named Tank. I love to garden, cook, and spend time with family and friends. If Im not in the office or at home, you can probably find me at one of my kids activities.
A dental implant is an artificial tooth that acts like a natural one. Its a long-term solution to replace one or more missing teeth. A dental implant replaces the entire tooth, from root to crown, and offers important benefits, like increased stability, durability, and aesthetics.
The root of a dental implant is a small, post-like device made from titanium or titanium zirconium. It is inserted into the jaw bone in place of a missing tooth root, and acts as a support for an artificial tooth crown.
The healing phase lasts between three and 12 weeks, depending on the individual medical situation. During this period, the implant becomes securely attached as the jaw bone grows and bonds with ita process called osseointegration. Once healed, the artificial root acts as a base for an individual crown, multi-tooth bridge, or an entire dental prosthesis.
With conventional crown and bridge treatment, healthy neighboring teeth must be ground down in order to support a bridge. This results in the loss of natural tooth surface. Furthermore, the bridge does not transmit chewing forces to the jaw bone, so bone deterioration may also occur.
Even the best prosthesis will always be a separate part that requires extensive care. By contrast, a dental implant acts as a natural root that merges and integrates with the body to act like a natural tooth.
Implants transmit chewing forces to the jaw bone, helping to maintain your bone and facial structure. This is not the case if teeth are missing, or when a conventional bridge or dentures has been placed. If these forces cease, the bone may slowly recede and the shape of the face may change over time. Dental implants can help prevent this gradual bone deterioration, as they mimic the action of the original root.
Laughing, kissing, singing, and eating like beforeimplants can improve your quality of life. Missing teeth can cause self-consciousness and insecurity, and ill-fitting dentures can cause permanent discomfort. These inconveniences come to a welcome halt with dental implants.
Dental implant therapy is a well-proven, state-of-the-art medical dental technique. For decades, dental implants have been tested and used worldwide by qualified dentists and surgeons. Today, implants offer the possibility to treat almost every indication for missing teeth. According to results of a survey carried out in Germany, 98% of patients indicated their satisfaction level with their dental implants was good or very good.1

Found out that this place was recently sold to a corporation. Not owned by a solo doc and has venture capitalists interest tied to them. Usually makes for over treatment and unnecessary work. Be carful Scottsdale, Ariz.-based Imagen Dental Partners added East Towne Dental Associates in Mequon, Green Bay-based Meadowbrook Smiles Family Dentistry and De Pere-based Timbercreek Smiles Family Dentistry. It also added Green Bay-based Fay Dental Care.

Just had my teeth cleaned by Shayna. She was nice and it was completely painless! I always feel like when I'm at the dentist to expect some discomfort but that just wasn't the case at all!

Worst experience ever. Certainly not a family dentist. Would give zero stars if possible. She was so rude to my child who did great, maybe not 100% perfect but still comparable to an adult. If you are not willing to work with kids at all, then don't say your a pediatric dentist. I get if it wasn't a good fit, but the attitude and rudeness was unacceptable from her. From my experience I would not recommend taking your kids or yourself to this dentist.

My kids had an AMAZING experience thanks to Shayna and Dr. Van Miller. They left with nice clean smiles and I heard them giggle their whole visit. One of my kids is being referred out, but that is for my child's comfort. Such a friendly staff. 10/10 will be back for future care.

Had a wonderful first time experience with this office. They took the time to explain everything to me and answered all of my questions. Jenny is a fantastic hygienist and was very thorough and personable. Dr. Van Miller was very caring as well. Every staff member I came into contact with in their office was extremely kind and professional, from setting up my first appointment over the phone to following up with me post visit.

I've hated going to the dentist since I was a kid and to be honest, it still isn't something I look forward too. But Dr. Van Miller is the best. And her staff is equally as good. I've recently had work done by Kristi Russell and she was very patient with me and explained everything so I could understand why certain things needed to be done. She was kind, patient, caring and very good at what she does Thank you for making going to the dentist not that bad. Cindy Wilson

Professional, friendly, knowledgeable and fun. Yes I said fun. The staff here are fun. They appear to like their jobs and patients in a very professional way. They hygienist Jenny is amazing at her job. She treats you with respect and explains to you what is going on, makes sure you are comfortable and makes you feel relaxed. She is the real deal! The dentist Dr. Van Miller is very professional and obviously also amazing at her job. Finally, I just have to say that the woman that work at the front desk are just great people. I do not know how they remember stuff about their patients but they do. It makes you feel so much more comfortable. I asked about a form I needed for my HSA for reimbursement for a water pick purchase. They went out of their way to help me with my request which I felt guilty asking for! This is a great place for great dental care!

I went to see Dr Van Miller today! She is an amazing Dentist! She takes the time to listen and involves you in the care plan. I have seen her on and off for the last 10 years. When I saw that she opened a practice I decided to go see her. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable and very helpful. Thank you all for a positive experience and my need crown.

Searched online for an emergency dentist because my husband is in a lot of pain. Was told by the office voice-mail to contact the Dr. directly. When I finally got a hold of her was told she couldn't help us! How does an emergency dentist not take a dental emergency! Also couldn't refer us to anyone else who could help...
