b'brushes, paints and glazes allows them to exactly match the patients gums and remaining teeth. Miller can show all of it to his patients ahead of the surgery. It takes a lot of anxiety out of the process, he says.And because its all done in-house, from a single crown to a full-mouth reconstruction, Millers process shaves weeks off the usual calendar.EXPANDING VISIONPeople who have bad teeth or dentures, its like a handicap. They think about it every day, Miller says. Were giving them their freedom back. Thats my goal, to give people in this community their lives back.The Idaho native spent his teen-age years in Sacramento and started his dental career in the U.S. Navy. His experiences tending the teeth of many different kinds of people now fuel a bigger vision: Become a partner in dental education, and fill those 10 new treatment rooms with like-minded professionals.I built this from the ground up with all that in mind: bringing it up to hospital grade, bringing state-of-the-art treatment to the community and teaching state-of-the-art treatment to other providers, Miller says. The skys the limit Its becoming a reality.Professional bodies guidedental implantologyFIND DENTISTS WITH CREDENTIALS IN THE EMERGING SPECIALTY OF DENTAL IMPLANTOLOGY: American Academy of Implant Dentistrywww.AAID.com American Board of Oral Implantology* JOSEPH MILLER, DMD, ABOIwww.ABOI.org 130 CROWN POINT CTGRASS VALLEY*This body offers a higher-level(530) 272-6752of credentialing, accordingWWW.PINEHILLSDENTISTRY.
