I've been a patient of Dr. Jill's for years and I trust her completely, which is a big deal for someone terrified of dentists after some bad experiences. When I broke a tooth just before I had to go out of town for work and they told me I'd have to see Dr. Rachel (who I've never met so I was all but having a meltdown), I reluctantly agreed. I worried for nothing. Both Dr. Jill and Dr. Rachel are wonderful. Dr. Rachel put me at ease, answered ALL my questions without judgment, and not only did she fix my tooth but I never even felt the shot!! I'll definitely be back!! Thank you Northwest Dental Center!

I came to Dr. Jill Miller with a fear of dentists, a very damaged smile and a wish to be able to just laugh and not cover my mouth. I just wanted a healthy looking smile. Everyone at her practice went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable, to work with me and give me options, and to give me a fair price! I’m SO impressed with the results. I have been working on this process for the last month and a half and can now say I’m not afraid to smile. You would never be able to tell how many fillings I have lol. I was never left waiting. There wasn’t double, triple booking. I seriously love everyone there. Thank you so much to everyone at this office and all your effort to work around my schedule and give such a pleasant experience!!! Thank you!!!!

I love Shawnee Family Dental! When I was a young girl my front adult teeth came in missing enamel. It was fixed briefly in high school but they were always splotchy and never really matched. They recommended 1 veneer and 1 crown it was quite the process. I only have the temporary teeth right now but I LOVE them! I am kicking myself for not doing this sooner! Can't wait to get the permanent crown & veneer and continue showing off my new smile! Thanks Dr. Hurt & Staff!
