Meet Our Team in Wilmington, NC

As Wilmington’s premier dental practice, we staff the best of the best to ensure our patients have a one-of-a-kind experience while in our care. From teeth whitening and dental implants to emergency dentistry, our team is standing by to help you with all of your dental needs.

Dr. Sandra L. Miles

Dr. Miles graduated from the University of Indianapolis in 1985 with a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry. After working for 3 years as a research biochemist, she decided that she wanted to dedicate a career to creating “pretty smiles.” So in 1988, dental school began at Indiana University School of Dentistry and there hasn't been any looking back. After the birth of her twins in 1991, she continued to work hard at her dental school studies and clinical work. She graduated in May of 1992, just before moving to North Carolina to take the state dental boards. She received her license in June of 1992 and began practicing the “art” of dentistry.


She opened her own practice in 1996 and then expanded when her daughter joined in 2022. She and her staff have strived, from the onset of the dental practice, to commit themselves to offer only the highest-quality service using the most up-to-date equipment and techniques for their patients. The experience of your dental visit will ensure that you achieve confidence and satisfaction in our practice. We all look forward to seeing you soon for all of your concerns and dental needs.

Dr. Jaimee A. Michael

Dr. Michael received her B.S. from East Carolina University in 2014 and D.D.S. from UNC Adams School of Dentistry in 2022. Leading up to dental school, she worked at an oral surgery office and volunteered at several NC M.O.M. Dental Clinics, statewide, and St. Mary’s Dental Clinic, locally.

 

During her time at UNC, she participated in organizations such as the American Student Dental Association and the Academy of General Dentistry, became a student coordinator for the Samaritan Health Center Dental Clinic in Durham, and attended dental conferences in Greenville, SC and Atlanta, GA. After graduation, she moved back home to Wilmington to join her mother’s practice. She is very excited for the opportunity to work alongside this amazing team and is dedicated to patient comfort, understanding, and care.

 

Outside of the office, Dr. Michael loves spending quality time with family and friends, whether it's going out to local festivals or shows, or enjoying a firepit hangout or movie night at home. She and her husband, Joey, who owns and operates Essential Gas Services Inc., are both so proud of their sons, Hunter and Jamison.

Tracy has worked with us since April 2003. Her older son, Brycen, will graduate from college in December 2026, and her younger son, Kellan, just started his junior year at Topsail High School. They both play baseball, and they are good at it! This keeps the whole family busy with games and traveling. She also enjoys the boat and spending time with her family. Their newest addition came in February 2020. A Boxer named Kai.

Joanie Eschert, CDA

Joanie came to our team in July 2007. She has been enjoying her career as a dental assistant since 1993. She is originally from New Jersey, where she received her formal education in dental assisting. She has lived in Wilmington since she graduated in 1994 and is married to Bill, the love of her life.

She has enjoyed the transition from her long-time employment with her previous dentist to our office. She has been using these skills to help our patient family obtain the best-quality dentistry available. Her enthusiasm transcends to those around her, and her genuine concern helps to make her patients feel comfortable and assured during their visits.

We all look forward to having her with us for many more years to come. In addition to being a phenomenal dental assistant, she loves to read and cook, and she enjoys chocolate any chance she gets. She is also the proud grandma of a beautiful boy!
