Cleaning | Comprehensive Exam | Flouride Treatment | Oral Cancer Screening
The American Dental Association recommends you see your dentist every six months. Preventive dental care can help you reduce or avoid future costs by preventing and finding potential issues sooner. Because many diseases and conditions first show signs in your mouth, good dental health and a strong relationship with your dental office are important steps in your overall health
The doctor will review all findings and discuss possible treatment options to help you achieve the smile you deserve.
Fluoride can be an important part of preventing tooth decay in patients of all ages. During your visit, we will determine your risk for dental decay by discussing your diet, home care, previous decay history, illnesses and prescription medications. Fluoride treatment can be done in the office, or at home.
In the office: Treatment can be done during your regular exam using a tray with gel or foam fluoride. A more highly concentrated fluoride varnish that is brushed onto your teeth can also be used.
At home: Options for fluoride treatment include prescription toothpastes or a daily rinse. It is important to follow all recommendations made by your dentist and to also be aware of the fluoride levels in your water.
Oral cancer can be life-threatening if not diagnosed and treated early. Lakewood Dental provides oral cancer screenings as part of your regular dental exam. There are two main risk factors for oral cancer. Smoking and tobacco use are long-term historic causes of oral cancer. In addition, the HPV-16 virus, a sexually-transmitted disease, is resulting in the fastest-growing segment of oral cancer patients being young, healthy, nonsmoking individuals.
When found early, oral cancers have an 80 to 90 percent survival rate. Dentists can be a first line of defense in identifying abnormalities in the mouth, which could be a sign of oral cancer.

I just want to say that this office is truly amazing! I wish I would have found this office first. I wouldn't be in all the problems I am in now if I would have found this honest dentist. We all know that most dentists are crooks and only care about their bottom line. Not this one. Not by a long shot. Literally treated not just like a human being, but a friend or family. I was truly heard by the doctor and they came up with a plan to help me restore my mouth and fix the issues from previous shotty work by another dentist. I'm already halfway done with my treatment plan and I've only been with this office for about 2 weeks. I am beyond grateful that my mouth is finally getting taken care of the correct way. I appreciate all of the advice that the doctor bestowed, But also the clear and precise explanations of what's happening and what they're doing, And why they're doing it! There's no ulterior motive to upsell me on unnecessary procedures. This place is a GEM!. If you find this review and go to this office, you will see why I will hold on to them for dear life!! I have really bad anxiety and I had a bit of a panic attack when I first came in because of how nervous I am from previous experiences. But while the doctor was just doing the examination just looking. The dental assistant wiped tears from my eyes. You don't find that kind of caring in that profession! But it's not just their kind bedside manner, The doctor is spot on with his diagnostics. Above all wants to preserve your natural teeth but also listens to the client's point of view. He definitely wants to do what's best for the client and works with you on what you want. I will be sending all my friends and neighbors this way, NAY, shouting from the rooftops about how amazing this office is. As much as I don't want him to get too busy, a good dentist needs to be shared in this kind of world. Thank you to all the kind and caring staff and especially the Dr!!! Not being judged and getting my teeth fixed quickly and correctly I can't tell you how blessed I am to have come acrossed your office! I will never go anywhere else
Barb makes you feel welcome the minute you walk in. She is genuinely kind and professional. Dr. Miller is wonderful and gentle with his exam. He explains everything and reviews the plan for treatments. Very professional and well run office!
I took my 3 year old son here for his first dentist visit. Every single person we came in contact with was SO kind and helpful. The hygienist was so patient with him and showed him everything she was going to use before the exam even started. He LOVED learning about all of the tools and using “Mr. Thirsty”. I think the biggest testament is when we got back to the car and my son said, “Why do we have to leave the dentist already?!” Such a wonderful office!

I highly recommend Lakewood Dental. I saw Dr. Tiner for a consultation for extraction of my wisdom teeth. The assistant, Vicki, was wonderful and very nice, as is the entire office. They have a state of the art panoramic xray machine. Upon evaluation of the xray and exam, Dr. Tiner said that I do not need my wisdom teeth extracted due to adequate room and orientation. He said exactly what I hoped for which is that he is not an advocate for unnecessary surgery and the teeth were in great condition. Dr. Tiner really listened and gave excellent care.
