Meet the Doctors

Dr. Miller, Dr. Squires, and the team of Southridge Dental are pleased to be able to offer beautiful smiles to their neighbors in Nampa and the surrounding communities.

Todd L. Squires, DDS, loves working with his hands to help others feel confident about their smiles! He did his undergraduate training at Brigham Young University and received his dental degree from Creighton University School of Dentistry in Omaha, Nebraska. He also speaks fluent Spanish, which he learned while living in Mexico for a time.

Dr. Squires and his wife, Jenny, have three awesome children – one girl and two boys – who keep them pretty busy. With any free time he can manage, Dr. Squires loves to take horses into the mountains, spend time on a lake, find a project to tackle, or take a motorcycle road trip.

Roarke J. Miller, DMD, was born in Caldwell, Idaho, and raised in nearby Middleton. He attended Ricks College, Boise State University, and California State University, San Marcos for his undergraduate studies. After completing his dental education from Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine in Cleveland, Ohio, Dr. Miller served as a dentist in the U.S. Army. His duties took him to Korea and to Southern California. After four years of military service, Dr. Miller and his family returned home to the Treasure Valley where he has put his heart into his practice. Dr. Miller invests many hours each year in postgraduate education. His most recent training in CEREC™ restorations and minimally invasive implant techniques allows him to provide his patients with quicker, more comfortable treatment options for repairing or replacing damaged and missing teeth.

An active member of the community through church youth programs, Dr. Miller loves spending time with his wife, Holly, and their six children. In his free time, he enjoys golfing, the outdoors, and almost any sport.
