Our holistic approach to dentistry
makes us different.
 

Your dental health can affect the overall health of your body. That’s why our treatment addresses more than just your teeth.

our approach

Each of our patients has unique needs, and we provide balanced solutions that address both dental and general health problems. Traditional dentistry is based on identifying and treating symptoms. Dr. Millinger and Dr. Dekker know that your dental health affects your overall health, so their approach is holistic. That means they're concerned about you as a "whole person", not just your teeth. This approach helps patients look at possible causes of the symptoms—for example, attitude, diet, lifestyle, stress. Together, we develop a customized treatment that helps your body find its own balance, for a great smile and a healthier life.

patient comfort
If you feel anxious about a visit to the dentist, you’re not alone. We know many people are fearful about dental treatment, so we try to make every visit comfortable. Our staff is warm and caring, and our office environment is welcoming and calm. We also offer massage backrests, stereo headsets, virtual reality glasses, and eclectic music. You can sit back and listen to relaxing music or watch your favorite movie during your treatment.

We offer topical and local anesthetic, of course, but if you need a little more help relaxing, nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is available. We invite our patients to let us know if there is anything else we can do to make them feel safe and comfortable.

unparalled expertise
Our dental team is skillful, experienced, and knowledgeable about all aspects of dentistry, and our bright, modern office has the most up-to-date equipment. Dr. Gary Millinger and Dr. Tom Dekker bring more than 50 years of combined advanced clinical expertise to their practice.

Here’s what one patient says about her experience at the dental office of Dr. Gary Millinger:

I'm what you might call "dental phobic." I've been a patient at Dr. Millinger's practice since 2002, and my experience there has always been positive and upbeat. I'm always greeted warmly by name, and always made to feel comfortable and safe. I've had some major general and restorative work done, and it’s always been with a thought for my greatest ease and comfort. If I feel stressed - like when I'm having impressions taken - someone on staff tells me a joke or sings me a song to take my mind off it. And the quality of work has been top notch.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr. Millinger's practice to anyone in the greater Hartford, Connecticut area who wants excellent work done in a very caring environment.
