If you’ve been in to see us recently, you may have noticed a new face around the office. We’d like to officially introduce Dr. Easton Ellis and give him a warm welcome to our team!
Dr. Easton Ellis
Dr. Ellis grew up in St. Helena, California, and his path to dentistry started somewhere you might not expect. He first began working in his father’s jewelry shop, working alongside his dad, gaining an appreciation for using his hands to create intricate, detailed work. As he began thinking about his future, he realized dentistry offered something special. It combined the artistry and precision he enjoyed with the opportunity to work directly with people and make a difference in their lives.
After deciding dentistry was the right fit, Dr. Ellis attended the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry. Today, one of the things he enjoys most is creating aesthetically appealing restorations and seeing patients regain confidence in their smiles.

Making You Comfortable and Part of the Conversation
Dr. Ellis also believes strongly in giving patients a voice in their dental care because he knows it’s completely normal to feel nervous about visiting the dentist, and he encourages patients to let us know what would help them feel more comfortable. Most importantly, he wants you to understand your options so you can make informed decisions about your care. You’re always part of the conversation, and the choices about your smile belong to you.
Getting to Know Dr. Ellis
Outside the office, Dr. Ellis enjoys spending time with his family and his two young boys. He loves being on the water, especially wakeboarding and water skiing, and he’s also a fan of board games. If you want to make him laugh, a good dad joke or pun is a pretty safe bet!
We’re excited to have Dr. Ellis as part of the McMillan Family Dental team, and we hope you’ll say hello the next time you see him around the office.
