Dental Examination
Dental loupes are especially useful while performing comprehensive exams, oral surgeries, and periodontics. A small light is often attached to the frame of the loupes provides a continual light source to the area being examined. The light allows our doctor to perform dental procedures comfortably without constantly hunching over and maneuvering the overhead lamp. Magnification ranges from 2X to 5X, so we can choose the right pair of loupes for the job.

Dental Examination
Dental loupes are especially useful while performing comprehensive exams, oral surgeries, and periodontics. A small light is often attached to the frame of the loupes provides a continual light source to the area being examined. The light allows our doctor to perform dental procedures comfortably without constantly hunching over and maneuvering the overhead lamp. Magnification ranges from 2X to 5X, so we can choose the right pair of loupes for the job.
X-rays
Your first visit will give us a chance to get to know you, your dental needs, and your personal preferences for the ideal dental visit. To update your records, we may take a full series of digital and panoramic x-rays. Your checkup will include a VELscope oral cancer screening, DIAGNOdent laser cavity detection, and, possibly, intraoral photographs. Plan to spend about 90 minutes at your initial appointment. After an exam with the doctor and a thorough discussion about your goals and expectations, you’ll meet with our hygienist. She will examine and probe your gum tissue, provide an orthodontic evaluation, and diagnose any level of gum disease, if applicable.
Oral Cancer Screening
While the statistics on oral cancer are discouraging, when the disease is found and treated in the early stages it has an 80 to 90-percent cure rate. Ask your dentist about whether you could benefit from a VELscope oral cancer screening.

Teeth Cleaning
Your checkup will include a thorough tooth-by-tooth inspection; a head and neck exam; an assessment of your jaws and occlusion (how upper and lower teeth fit together); a periodontal exam; and an oral cancer screening. Following the checkup, you’ll meet with your hygienist for a gentle cleaning. She’ll remove plaque, tartar, and debris from your teeth, then discuss brushing and flossing habits with you. If you show signs of gum disease, the hygienist will work with you to plan treatment.
Fluoride Treatment
Our office regularly cares for the dental needs of children. The American Dental Association recommends having your child’s first dental appointment soon after the eruption of their first tooth. Our doctors like to see children for their initial visit between the ages of 12 and 24 months. You may also want to bring your child to your dental checkup when he or she is about one to become familiar with the sights, sounds, and friendly helpers in our dental office. We call this a Happy Visit. At age three, your child's independent checkup will typically involve a tooth-by-tooth inspection, cleaning, and fluoride treatment. Dr. Miller will check for proper development, as well as tooth decay and other areas of concern.
Dental Sealants
Many people have deep pits and grooves in their teeth where bacteria and food particles can hide and cause decay. Children with poor brushing habits may also develop decay on hard-to-reach molars. For situations like these, dental sealants offer a means of protecting molar and premolar chewing surfaces from decay. Recognized by the American Dental Association as a key means of cavity prevention, dental sealants are simply a thin plastic film that can be applied to teeth.
Space Maintainers

Fillings
For an hour following your visit, do not chew. Wait until numbness subsides before eating. If you had amalgam fillings placed, do not chew for 24 hours.
Resin Composite
Because composite resins are not made of metal, we can blend and mix shades to find the perfect color to match your natural teeth. This means only you and your dentist will know you have fillings. Another pro is that the tooth/composite bond actually supports the remaining tooth structure, deterring breakage and insulating against temperature changes. Medium and small composites can last seven to ten years – that’s as long as traditional amalgams. Best of all, composite resins allow us to keep more of your natural tooth structure intact than amalgams. We believe in conservative dentistry – the more natural tooth structure you keep, the better teeth you’ll likely have in the future.
Veneers
If your smile could use a comprehensive overhaul, consider porcelain veneers. These handcrafted, highly esthetic dental restorations permanently cover front teeth and improve shape, color, and overall appearance of a smile.
Crowns
F you're self-conscious about cracked, broken, decayed, or worn teeth, we can bring back your healthy, natural-looking smile with dental crowns, also called caps. A crown can return structure, strength, and function to a tooth with extensive decay or damage. Designed to fit snugly and function as a healthy tooth, a crown will protect your tooth from further damage and preserve the jaw's correct natural alignment.
Bridges
If you've lost teeth due to accident, injury, or gum disease, we can create a fixed bridge to restore your solid smile. A bridge not only fills the gap, but it also prevents repositioning of remaining teeth. It can also correct a misaligned bite, improve chewing function and speech articulation, and provide internal structure for the face to give you a more youthful appearance.
Dental Bonding
Chips, cracks, stains, and gaps between teeth can be corrected with custom-shaded composite bonding. Dr. Miller will apply the same material used for tooth-colored fillings to your imperfect teeth, then sculpt and cure the restoration. The results are sensational.
Restorative Dentistry
The good news is, you’re going to love our Tacoma, WA office – because we love our patients! We will make you and your family feel comfortable and well cared for, while always providing state-of-the-art, minimally invasive treatment options. Our goal is to keep you smiling for life.

Root Canal Treatment
Your teeth contain several layers: the outer protective enamel, a secondary layer of sensitive dentin, and an inner pulp that contains components commonly referred to as the “nerve” of the tooth. Each pulp chamber branches off, forming canals that lead toward the tooth root tip. A deep cavity, traumatic injury, or tooth fracture can make the canal susceptible to bacterial infection, which can kill the pulp, stimulate increased blood flow, and create pressure within the tooth. This can cause severe tooth pain and may initiate bone degeneration, tooth loss, and even more acute pain. If you see a dentist in the earliest stages of this condition, the tooth may be saved with a root canal. Otherwise, it should be extracted and replaced with a prosthetic.

Deep Cleaning
Sabrina has worked in the practice for two decades. She began as a dental assistant, then earned her associate's degree and dental hygienist certification at Pierce College. At your visit, Sabrina is one of four hygienists who may perform your dental cleaning, deep cleaning, and hygiene consultation. She loves the opportunity to positively affect people's lives by contributing to their good oral health. Sabrina is always happy to share tips and product reviews, so be sure to ask her if you have any questions about your dental homecare routine. She holds membership with the Washington State Dental Hygienists' Association on the state and local levels.

Dentures
A smile just isn't a smile if it's incomplete. Missing teeth cause a host of problems, from difficulty speaking and eating to low self-confidence to jawbone deterioration. Don't give up on your smile. Advances in dental materials and technology have made dentures more lifelike and comfortable than ever.

Dental Implants
By imitating an entire natural tooth, from the root up, dental implants offer a prosthetic that closely mimics nature. The result? Dental implant patients enjoy restored function, which allows a healthy diet of hard-to-chew foods. Speech may also improve. Strong and secure, your new smile will boost your confidence, enhance your appearance, and improve your quality of life.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Pain, swelling, and bleeding is normal following oral surgery. A cold compress should be placed on your face near the surgical site for 10 minutes at a time, with 5 minutes off, the day of your surgery. This will reduce pain, swelling, and bleeding.
Gum Surgery
Pain, swelling, and bleeding is normal following gum surgery. A cold compress should be placed on your face near the surgical site for 10 minutes at a time, with 5 minutes off, the day of your surgery. This will reduce pain, swelling, and bleeding.
Tooth Extractions
Bruising, swelling, and pain are normal – particularly if you have had a wisdom tooth extraction. Take your prescribed medication and use a cold compress on your face.

Orthodontics
You may not have to wear metal braces to have straighter teeth and a more attractive smile. Instead, ask Dr. Miller about Invisalign clear braces. These custom-made, removable acrylic aligners reposition teeth in less time than traditional orthodontics. Invisalign is ideal for the image conscious teen or adult.
Invisalign Orthodontics
From porcelain veneers to Invisalign, our cosmetic dentistry services are designed to fit a wide range of needs and lifestyles. Your custom treatment plan can arrange for speedy treatments without sacrificing quality, and we can address all of your dental concerns. Stains, chips, gaps, misalignments, and other dental flaws can be corrected in as little as two visits.
Braces
In most cases, porcelain veneers can be placed in only two visits – they’re the cosmetic solution of choice for busy professionals and patients unlikely to wear metal braces. In addition to improving the appearance of your smile, porcelain veneers will resist stains and they can last for decades.

Teeth Whitening
Coffee, tea, tobacco, wine, chocolate… we all have our vices, and unfortunately, your teeth can give away your secret. Banish stains and restore your smile’s youthful appearance with custom teeth whitening at Commencement Bay Dentistry of Tacoma. Teeth whitening is safe, effective, and will not damage healthy tooth enamel.
