One practice, on North Mills Avenue
Mills Dental Group is a general dental practice on North Mills Avenue in Orlando, Florida. It is one office rather than a group of locations, which means the people you meet at the front desk and in the treatment room are the same people each time, and your history is not something that has to be re-explained at every visit.
The work covers most of what a family needs from a dentist. Much of it is general dentistry — the cleanings and exams that catch a problem while it is small, and the fillings that deal with it. When a tooth needs more, restorative dentistry rebuilds or replaces it. Cosmetic treatment changes the color, shape or alignment of a smile, and children's dentistry starts with a first visit and the habits that follow it. The full list is on the services page.
Office hours, directions and a map are on the contact page.
Meet Dr. Christopher Ferreira
Dr. Christopher Ferreira, DMD, grew up in Orlando and practices here on North Mills Avenue. As a general dentist he sees patients of every age, from a child's first check-up through to implants, crowns and clear aligners.
Seeing the same families over years is a different kind of knowledge from meeting someone once. It is what makes it possible to say whether a tooth has been stable for a decade or is quietly getting worse — and that is often the difference between watching something and treating it.
The people you will meet
Most of a dental visit is spent with people other than the dentist. Hygienists carry out the cleanings and much of the preventive care. Dental assistants work chairside during treatment, and they are usually the ones who notice first that a patient is uncomfortable. The front desk handles scheduling and the practical questions that come up between visits.
If you are nervous about the dentist, say so when you book. It is common, it is nothing to be embarrassed about, and it changes how the appointment is run — more explanation, more breaks, and time to ask questions before anything starts.
See the office before you visit
A first visit is easier when the building is not a surprise. The office tour walks through the practice, from the reception desk to the treatment rooms.
Some of the most important work in any dental office happens where patients never see it. Instruments are cleaned and heat-sterilized between patients, and single-use items are used once and thrown away — standard infection control that every dental practice is expected to follow.
