Dr. Miller

Dr. Bart Miller has an extensive educational background and experience in helping patients achieve healthy, beautiful smiles. He is a residency-trained specialist in orthodontics and a member of the American Association of Orthodontists.

He was born and raised in Rockwall. After attending Rice University on an ROTC scholarship, Dr. Miller graduated and was commissioned in the U.S. Navy as Surface Warfare Officer. Accepted into the Naval Nuclear Propulsion program, he served on board the guided-missile cruiser, USS Truxtun, stationed in Washington state. Following his service, he went to dental school at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, graduating with honors, then on to his orthodontic residency at Baylor College of Dentistry (TAMU Health Science Center - Dallas).

“After deciding that I didn’t want to make a career in the Navy, I considered a number of different fields and talked to a lot of people, but none of them seemed particularly excited about what they did. My dad was an orthodontist, and I realized that he LOVED what he did. As I kept exploring my options, it began to look more and more appealing to me.”

Dr. Miller has been practicing since 2001 and has loved every minute of it! Getting to know patients and their families, while helping them achieve their goal of a great smile has been very rewarding.

Melissa: Dental Assistant
My name is Melissa Recio, and I am a dental assistant. I love being part of the CPD team, an office that is family oriented, fun, and filled with kindness, but most importantly an office that cares for the well being of every pt’s oral health! My favorite part of being a RDA is getting to interact with patients, and helping them feel comfortable in the dental chair (a place most people hate being in)

When I’m not in the office I enjoy spending time with my wonderful husband Juan and our lovely son Emmanuel who just turned 3 and keeps our hands full!
