What Our Patients Are Saying...
Amazing experience today w/ Dr. Mishler and his team! I’m so grateful that there’s a Periodontal Wellness Center in Utah that provides such high quality service, w/ PRF, IV Vitamin C, Ozone, and the best and absolute safest practices for amazing patient outcomes. Dr. Mishler even called me personally a few hours after my procedure, to make sure I was recovering well. Thoroughly impressed!
I had 4 cavitations and a root canal done. I’m so glad I made the trip to Total Care Dental. My recovery has been speedy and amazingly easy. Sweet Dreams did the anesthesia and Ryan put me at ease and I knew I was in great hands. Dr. Mishler has an amazing bedside manner and his skill level was everything I expected and more. Kara kept me calm and explained everything I was going to possibly be encountering. EVERYONE at Total Care Dental was friendly and exceeded expectations!!
Their dental surgeon, Dr. Mischler is fantastic!!! He is so gentle, precise and thorough that I calm down while he is working because I know I am getting the very best care. Oh, AND he does the best Novocain shots ever! I thank God, literally for this amazing dentist!
Dr. Mishler did my four deeply infected cavitations in 2022, from wisdom teeth extracted over 20 years prior, which had rotted some of my jaw bone, and had to be cleaned up or it would have hurt my overall health. Not an easy surgery. I had an easy recovery and no complications. Dr. Mishler is very competent, a former cosmetic and general practice MD, and my wife, Dr. Jorgenson who owns the practice converted to biological dentistry over a decade ago, does all new patient intakes and is Utah's best biological dentist (my wife knows them all). I can't recommend Dr. Jorgenson and the dentists she's trained more highly. Most dentists have sold out to a large corporation they now work for--and this practice is still family-owned."GreenSmoothieGirl" Robyn Openshaw, has recommended many people to Total Care Dental over the years. Not many biological dentists have a highly skilled surgeon. Many dentists are doing surgery without doing the extra training Dr. Mishler has gotten. He does the work on Total Care Dental's staff and their families! As well as 3 generations of my wife's family.
I am so happy with the care I have received at Total Care Dental. I have spent way too much of my life in the dentist chair since childhood and I really dislike having dental appointments. I looked for a dental office like Total Care for a long time. A place where they look at my overall health and how it relates to the health of my teeth and gums, and the addition of herbs and vitamins and how they can support me after dental work. I just had a tooth extraction because of an abscess, and I am very pleased with how the process went and how good I am feeling afterward. The call from the surgeon (Dr. Mishler) the next day was a nice addition to my feeling that they care about me as a patient.
I would highly recommend this place! It was my husband’s and I first time here, and we were just taken care of! I couldn't have come to the right place. We just felt true Love and care! The staff really cares about your well being, and they truly want to do what is best for you. You can feel that I had a root canal that was infected and Dr. Mishler just took great care of me and saved my upper tooth and took care of my bottom tooth. Just by looking at his whole demeanor, I could tell he wanted what was best for me and wanted to help me. He even called to see how I was doing what a Dentist does that. I can’t even say words to describe how blessed I feel for going to this place. You will not be disappointed they are the best!
Super glad I found this practice. A modern holistic approach, the office is run extremely well, and the dental staff is good at what they do. Had a surgical procedure with Dr Mishler, and he was excellent. I’m 42 years old… and I’d say this is my favorite dentist I have ever been to. I’ll be back, though hopefully not too often, lol.
I went in for a tooth extraction and Dr. Mishler was very warm and empathetic. I was blown away by the service as it became obvious he cared about his patients experience and pain. He always checked in with pain and provided thought provoking conversation as a distraction. He even called personally himself the next day to check on recovery and the bone graft. Everything they did seemed geared towards working with the body to recoverwell and combining different treatments like Vitamin C and Ozone to promote healing that you would not get at other dentists. Honestly, the best experience I have ever had. I will definitely be going back in 4 months to get my implant with Dr. Mishler.
Dr. David Mishler is amazing! He recently did gum graft surgery on me. I was impressed by his compassion, professionalism and skill. He has a very calming voice. He would comfort and compliment me throughout the surgery which helped to put me at ease. I felt completely safe and confident in his chair that I was receiving the best care possible. I also highly recommend being sedated for the procedure. I wasn’t, but will add that he is really good at giving shots. I barely felt them.
I’m probably one of their tougher cases. I’m so grateful for Dr Mishler and the wonderful staff who have encouraged and stayed with me through it all. Whenever I’ve had a question they get back to me. It’s taking time, but I feel confident that my new implants with Dr. Mishler will be successful after having them fail a few years ago. He is gifted as well as meticulous in his work.
Dr. Mishler and his team took great care to ensure my comfort while performing oral surgery on me today. I look forward to getting the implant placed and moving forward in my healing from chronic issues brought on by infection in an old extraction site.
