The Kids Cowboy Experience
Covid isn’t fun, but we are and so are our buckaroos! Yahoo!
Howdy, pardner!
Dr Aaron Miller is the Cowboy Dentist! Dust off your boots, pull your hat down tight, saddle up your pony and come join us as a welcomed pardner for a Yahoo, Western dental experience in our newly updated cowboy office! We are ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS!
We corralled the tumbleweeds, updated the horse stables and gave the ranch a little facelift. As soon as COVID allows, our toys and western books will be back. We are still and ON-TIME practice, so check us out.
Our mission – to welcome families into our western themed dental home where we care for children with compassion and empathy.
Our philosophy encourages parents to be with their children for all care at each visit. We are very efficient and utilize short visits (less than 30 minutes) to allow for a more comfortable experience for our buckaroos. We also are trained in the use of nitrous oxide and oxygen “fuzzy air” analgesia. This allows for a more relaxed dental visit and we do not charge for this benefit if it is needed!
Dr. Aaron is a specialty trained pediatric dentist who practices compassionate dental care, using positive behavior guidance techniques, story telling, HUMOR, euphemisms, distraction and magic tricks to help guide children though care to create positive dental experiences in a western themed, child friendly office. You will notice that Dr. Aaron talks A LOT! This is on purpose to keep your child’s attention on him and not the procedures. We ask parents be with their children at appointments as “silent helpers.”

Meet The Cowboy Dentists
Dr. Steve
CONGRATULATIONS to the original cowboy dentist, who just retired at the young age of 77!
Dr Steve built this practice and building from scratch with his bare hands…ok he had a construction company build the building. He purchased the land from the Roseville Tavern in 1979 and the practice opening in 1980. In his retirement, Dr Steve has immersed himself in his hobbies of practicing Yoga, meditation, reading and re-learning the guitar. Dr Steve still comes by to chat and say hello, so if you see him, say Howdy Pardner!.
Dr. Aaron
Dr Aaron purchased the practice from his father, Dr Stephen Miller, after beginning his career here in 2007. Dr. Aaron graduated from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine and continued on to receive his specialty training in Pediatric Dentistry from Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. He enjoys, skiing, cycling, learning guitar, traveling with his wife Crystal, and being outdoors with their Bernese Mountain dog, Brighton (who is a terrible walker).
