Detailed Introduction
Miami Valley Dental Specialists, operating under the name Miami Valley Prosthodontics and prominently branded as "Dayton's Smile Doctor," is a highly specialized dental clinic located at 1205 Meadow Bridge Dr, Dayton, OH 45434. The clinic's primary focus is on advanced restorative and prosthetic dentistry. Dr. Valerie McMillan, a prosthodontist, leads the practice. A prosthodontist is a dental specialist who has completed an additional three years of university or hospital-based training beyond dental school, focusing on areas such as cosmetic dentistry, dental implants, dentures, and full mouth reconstruction. Dr. McMillan received both her Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree in 2006 and her Master of Science in Dentistry (MSD) and prosthodontics training in 2009 from The Ohio State University. Her husband, John McMillan, a dental technician, also plays a key role in the practice, sharing her passion for dentistry and contributing to new techniques.
The clinic offers a comprehensive range of specialized services, including dental implants, restorative dentistry (crowns, bridges), dentures (full and partial), and cosmetic dentistry (veneers). A significant advantage of Miami Valley Prosthodontics is its in-house dental laboratory. This facility allows for the hand fabrication and finishing of many prosthetics, such as ceramic crowns, implant crowns, and full-arch implant prostheses. This on-site lab, combined with Dr. McMillan's digital design using advanced software, ensures precise customization, efficient adjustments, and high aesthetic quality, minimizing the back-and-forth typically associated with external labs. The close collaboration between the dental team and the in-house ceramic technician ensures excellent communication and optimal outcomes for complex cases.
Patients consistently praise the friendly and professional staff, as well as Dr. McMillan's expertise and compassionate approach. Reviews often highlight the effectiveness of their denture solutions, with many patients expressing satisfaction with the fit and appearance of their new teeth, often after years of discomfort with previous prosthetics. The clinic is dedicated to providing personalized care, evaluating each patient's dental health thoroughly to develop tailored solutions. They are committed to delivering the highest standards of dentistry, combining advanced technology with skilled craftsmanship to restore both the function and aesthetics of their patients' smiles.
