"Dental
Excellence has made me do an 180 degree attitude change in regards
to dentists and looking after my teeth.
After bad experiences
at the dentist as a child and teenager, I avoided going for as
long as possible as an adult. I also never had my teeth
straightened as a child and pretty much just wanted to pretend
they didn't exist. Of course that attitude meant I ended up with
plenty of decay and eventually chipped a tooth.
My parents had
started seeing Alan Miller at Dental Excellence after he was
recommended by a friend, so I gave him a try. He won me over with
a painless root canal and the wonderful, friendly staff have won
me over to come back again!
A great place to go if
you need patience and understanding as well as the motivation to
maintain the good work they do."

"My recent experience of visiting your practice on two occasions has totally
changed my pre-conceived ideas of the dental pain and discomfort. You and
your staff were really gentle and professional in your caring approach.
If anyone is in doubt about the quality and care of the dental treatment at
Dental Excellence*, ask them to give me a call and I will recount my
experience first hand."

Dr Alan Miller BChD
 I
have over 20 years experience as a general dentist and enjoy
providing patients with individualized treatment plans that address
their oral health needs. I recognize that most patients are not too keen
to be in the dentist's chair and so have developed a gentle, caring
approach to treatment.
Dental Excellence* offers all types
of dentistry and also has an experienced, highly skilled, in-house
dental hygienist. We believe in oral disease prevention as a key part of
any treatment plan and encourage ongoing preventative maintenance. The
hygiene department uses BEYONDTM
tooth whitening which offers comfortable tooth lightening in a single
visit using the latest cool light technology. Take-home bleach kits are
also available.
I have a special interest
in cosmetic and restorative dentistry and endodontics
(root canal treatment). Seeing patients' excited reactions to
their beautifully restored smiles gives me great job satisfaction.
"It is a pleasure and a privilege to treat my patients, and their
appreciative comments after treatment make coming to work every day a
pleasure".
I was born in Pietermaritzburg,
South Africa (a town similar to Hamilton 100 km inland from Durban).
I graduated from the School
of Dentistry at the University of Pretoria in June 1985 and received
a BChD degree with distinctions in four subjects. I was the first
recipient of the Oral-B®
medal for outstanding achievement in the field of dental materials and
during my final year had the honour of presenting a research paper I
co-authored to the 1985 International Congress of the IADR
(International Association of Dental Research) held in Pretoria.
 In January 1998 I
traveled to New Zealand to sit the New Zealand Dental Registration
written examinations. In June the same year I passed the final clinical
examination at the Otago School of Dentistry and was registered with the
New Zealand
Dental Council the same year. I am a member of the New
Zealand Dental Association and NZ Endodontic Society. I am a past
Secretary of the Waikato Bay of Plenty Branch of the NZDA and currently
still serve on the Executive as Branch Advisory Officer and maintain the
Branch's membership database.
I am happily married to
Heike, director of PA
Excellence Limited, and am the proud father of two children, a son and a
daughter.
