AT BENT TREE DENTAL,
care comes before treatment.
We take the time to actually get to know you — your concerns, your history, your goals for your smile — because the best care comes from an actual relationship, not a rushed appointment. That's the difference between a dentist and your dentist. That's how we've earned Dallas's trust for over 30 years.
For ambitious women who're done with hustle culture
Where ambition meets ease, and your brand finally starts to click.
We talk about boundaries, ambition, money, self-trust, identity shifts, and what it means to live like you’re already the version of you you want to become. Not because it’s easy. But because it’s worth figuring out now instead of later. These are tools you’ll actually use. Habits that actually hold. Growth you’ll actually feel. And clarity that sticks even when things get messy.
We don't just focus on your treatment — we focus on you. That relationship-first approach, paired with updated dental technology and over 30 years of experience, means you'll always understand exactly what we're seeing and why. If something needs attention, we'll walk you through your options clearly and let you decide what's right for you. No pressure, no scare tactics, no surprise add-ons.
It's how we help build smiles that are both healthy and beautiful — and why so many of our patients, including the ones who used to dread the dentist, tell us they actually look forward to their appointments now.
OUR MISSION
You first, always.
Around here, you're not a number. You're family.
Dr. Miller has been practicing dentistry for over 30 years, and it's personal. He grew up without the smile he wanted, so he knows exactly what that feels like — and it's a big part of why he does what he does today.
He earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery from UMKC, then spent under a year practicing in Missouri while also teaching at the dental school there. He's called Texas home ever since. About 10 years ago, he went back to school himself, completing the year-long Implant Continuum at Texas A&M. He consistently logs more continuing education than the board actually requires.
Outside the office, he's usually staying active: workouts, biking, or rollerblading.

I want to thank everyone at Bent Tree dental for making my experience a wonderful one! After the last experience I had at another dentist office which caused me not wanting to go to any dentist in fear they will be as rude and cold as the last. But coming to Bent Tree Dental to see Dr. Miller, Rita and the team of amazing professionals was great. Everyone was nice and greeted me with a smile. If I had questions they took the time to answer them without getting frustrated. I loved how everyone is on the same page and knowledgeable. I am so happy that I have found my dentist for LIFE!!!!

My experience with Dr. Miller was BY FAR the best dental experience I've ever had. His team is excellent. They answered every question, filed my insurance for me, and didn't try to sell me anything I didn't need. They showed me pictures and X-rays, explained what I was seeing in plain English, and let me ask questions. Then they explained my options, showed me the bottom line, and let me make the decision. The filling I got was quick and painless, and that's not an exaggeration. Like most people, I have serious anxiety about dental procedures. Dr. Miller's detailed, but understandable descriptions made the whole process much less scary. Best of all, the visit was very affordable. I've paid twice as much for fillings that weren't even half as good. They even offered complimentary nitrous oxide. Overall, I'm VERY happy with Dr. Miller and the team at Bent Tree Dental, and I would recommend them to anyone.
