Create a Foundation of Good Oral Health
Many patients want a beautiful-looking smile. That’s why cosmetic dentistry is so popular! However, it’s only possible when you have healthy teeth and gums. At our practice, Dr. Mueller offers preventive services to protect your most noticeable feature. By visiting with him, you benefit from his 22-plus years of experience as a dentist. He’s also invested in technology to ensure your treatment goes smoothly.
The services you’ll benefit from include:
- Cleanings and Exams – Our team will thoroughly clean your teeth with our ultrasonic technology. It removes hardened plaque and tartar build-up, with less scraping. We’ll also examine your mouth for signs of cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer.
- Bad Breath Solutions – If you struggle with chronic bad breath, your dentist will identify the root cause and restore your fresh-smelling breath.
- Dry Mouth Treatment – Dry mouth can lead to ongoing discomfort in your day-to-day life. We’ll give you products you can use at home for much-needed relief.
- Gum Disease Treatment – If your gums are infected, Dr. Mueller will perform a deep cleaning procedure known as scaling and root planing. It will give you back pink, healthy gums.
- Mouthguards – Preventive care also means protecting your mouth from injury. We can create a custom mouthguard if you grind your teeth or play sports.
If it’s your first appointment with us, we’ll need to take digital X-rays and scans of your mouth. This will help your dentist and our team identify any underlying problems that require treatment. If you feel nervous in any way, sedation options are available.
Call 360-443-9337 for general dentistry in Port Orchard. You can also request an appointment online. No insurance? No problem! Join our Membership Club for coverage of your preventive services.

My wife and I moved, and needed to change dentist. We continue to communicate for a good while, out of reluctance. Given the extensive implant work she had, it diddnt seem possible. She also had a diagnosis for Aphasia, which effected her chair behavior. I cant recall how we found Chris Muller and the team, but greatful we did. They handled her dental care perfectly, but also compassionate with her medical state. Ive had regular cleaning myself, with some of the lightest touch ever experienced. A couple crowns, that were essentially painless. (Im a bit of a wuss) . To give this team a simple 5 stars is woefully inadequate for the level of care that they provide. I also pay the 75.00/mo. For the insurance, and dont come out of pocket for much. I receive good discounts in cases like the crowns, when i do need to compensate. Ive never personally had a better dental experience, and if one does exist i would suspect that i had simply died; and gone to Heaven. If you’re looking for a new dental home, with a staff you’d be proud to call family, look no further. Sheila & Charles Hart

Common Questions About General Dentistry
What is general dentistry?
Maintaining a beautiful smile and optimal oral health is the primary goal of general dentistry. We offer several services to achieve this, including dental cleanings and exams, gum disease treatment, preventive treatments like fluoride application and dental sealants, and custom-made mouthguards for athletes or teeth grinders. Regular dental care is crucial in preserving the health and beauty of your smile.
What foods are healthy for my teeth?
Food healthy for your teeth includes those high in calcium and phosphorus, such as dairy products, leafy greens, and almonds. High-fiber foods like fruits and vegetables can help clean teeth and stimulate saliva production to help neutralize acids in the mouth. Crunchy fruits and vegetables like apples and carrots can help scrape away plaque and massage gums. Finally, drinking plenty of water can help rinse away food particles and acids that can cause tooth decay.
Can I prevent cavities?
Your mouth naturally creates a film over your teeth that becomes plaque. Plaque can harden into tartar, and tartar can lead to tooth decay and gum disease. By brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing once a day, you break the film before it can become tartar. When you visit us for regular teeth cleanings, we’ll remove tartar from any spots you missed. We can also coat your teeth with fluoride to toughen your enamel and fight tooth decay.
