Grand Rapids and Sparta, MI Orthodontists
“Smiling — it seems like an easy thing to do, but not if you are unhappy with the way your teeth look and feel. I never smiled in pictures when I was a kid; I was embarrassed by how my teeth looked. My passion for orthodontics stems from helping other people find the confidence in themselves to smile. I feel great pride in my profession, knowing that as orthodontists, we can help others become healthier, happier, and smile more confidently.” — Dr. Lathe Miller
Dr. Miller is a highly skilled and dedicated orthodontist who wants nothing more than to have each of his patients smile the healthiest and brightest smiles of their lives. He is continually amazed by the positive impact he is able to have on his patients' lives through his hard work and caring attitude.
For Dr. Miller, working with the families of Sparta and Grand Rapids has been a real blessing, and his patients are the reason he has dedicated himself to providing each of them with the most rewarding and beneficial care available.
Dr. Miller earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from DePauw University and went on to Indiana University to complete both his Doctorate of Dental Surgery and Master of Science.
Because Dr. Miller is committed to providing the absolute best for each of his patients, he dedicates much of his time to learning and mastering all the latest trends, techniques, and technologies in the orthodontic field. Learning is a lifelong process for Dr. Miller, and he exceeds the minimum number of continuing education hours each year.
For Dr. Miller, continuing education is the best way to improve his skills and treatments as well as himself so he is able to give his patients the care and attention they deserve.
Dr. Miller also believes that a good orthodontist is one who spends active time discussing techniques and ideas with colleagues for the benefit of patients everywhere. For this reason, he holds active membership in the following professional organizations:
Further, Dr. Miller has also been deemed an Invisalign® Elite Provider and is in the top 1% of Invisalign providers in North America due to his skill, experience, and commitment to providing his patients the most advanced and effective treatment.
Although he is a native of Greencastle, Indiana, Dr. Miller feels blessed to be a part of such an incredible community here in Grand Rapids, and he strives to give back in whatever way he can. Dr. Miller volunteers on the Cleft Lip and Palate Team at Helen DeVos Children's Hospital, and he is very thankful for this unique opportunity to help the patients who are affected by this condition.
At home, Dr. Miller enjoys spending his time with his wife Nicole, who is a general dentist, and their three children: Chase, Maya, and Emerson. His family also includes a German Shepherd and a cute Newfoundland Doodle mix. When he has free time, Dr. Miller also enjoys golfing, traveling, flying, and playing indoor soccer.
Dr. Zenner was born and raised on the east side of the state in the Metro Detroit area. Growing up in Michigan and experiencing the positive impact a confident smile can have through her own three rounds of braces inspired her to pursue a career in orthodontics. She is excited to return to her home state and help patients of all ages achieve healthy, beautiful smiles while building lasting relationships with the families and communities she serves.
Dr. Zenner earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology from Ferris State University. She then received her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from Midwestern University in Illinois, where she was inducted into the Omicron Kappa Upsilon National Dental Honor Society in recognition of graduating among the top of her class. She went on to complete her orthodontic residency at Marquette University in Wisconsin, where she earned both a Certificate in Orthodontics and a Master of Science degree.
In her free time, you'll find Dr. Zenner spending time with her husband, puppy, family, and friends. After years of education and training, she is looking forward to traveling and exploring both locally and abroad. She also enjoys getting lost in a good TV or book series, spending time in the sunshine, shopping, and convincing her husband to take on new home renovation projects.
