Lohring Miller

Dr. Miller has been a dentist for more than 40 years. His first 25 years were spent in private practice in Springfield, taking care of children and adults. After selling his practice, he worked in public health dentistry in Grants Pass, Riverstone Community Health Center and Lane Community College where he was the Dental Director.

He tried to retire at one point, however his patients and former staff encouraged him to start another private practice. He will go above and beyond for his patients and staff! He is experienced in many dental procedures as well as crowns, bridges, root canals, and oral surgery. Lohring holds the honor of being a Life Member of the Oregon Dental Association.

His favorite hobby is building and racing model boats. Dr. Miller is the Safety Director of the National Model Boat Association and is a member of their hall of fame. He also dabbles in some full-size boat projects.

Dr. Miller is married to his wife, Ana and has 4 children and 6 grandchildren. When escapes the office, you will find him taking something apart to repair, inventing gadgets, or just making odd and ends tickering in his tool shop.

Kayla had always had a great experience in the dental chair and strives to give her patients the same experience. Seeing her patients achieve and maintain optimal dental health makes her job enjoyable. Living in the Pacific Northwest gives her plenty to explore. When not in the office, you will likely find Kayla outside playing fetch with her dog or enjoying time with her large extended family. We can’t forget “Gerard” her cat.
