As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Mishreky offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Sensitive Teeth: If your teeth ache intensely when you eat or drink something hot or cold, you might have sensitive teeth, a condition your dentist can diagnose and treat.
- Occlusal Disease: Occlusal disease is a condition affecting the way your teeth come together, causing problems such as temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders or chipped teeth, which your dentist can help diagnose and manage.
- Tooth Decay Caused by Acid Attack: Bacteria in plaque create acids that dissolve tooth enamel, causing tooth decay that your dentist can treat with fillings, crowns, or other restorative procedures.
- Dentofacial Anomalies: Dentofacial anomalies refer to misalignments of teeth and jaws; your general dentist plays a key role in identifying these issues and recommending treatment, such as orthodontics.
- Mouth Cancer: Regular dental checkups are key to finding mouth cancer early, as your dentist can identify suspicious sores or lesions that may indicate the disease.
- Gingivitis: Gingivitis is an early stage of gum disease where your gums become inflamed and red, and your dentist can help treat it with professional cleaning and improved oral hygiene.
- Cavity: A cavity, or dental caries, is a hole in your tooth caused by tooth decay that your dentist can fill to prevent further damage.
This list represents some of the common conditions treated. An accurate diagnosis and a personalized care plan can only be developed through a direct consultation with a qualified medical professional.
To provide comprehensive and patient-centered care, Dr. Mishreky offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Pediatric Dental Exam: During a pediatric dental exam, the dentist will check your child's teeth and gums, looking for cavities, decay, and signs of gum disease.
- Non-Surgical Gum Treatment: Non-surgical methods like deep cleaning can help save your teeth and gums from the damage caused by gum disease, before surgery becomes necessary.
- Restoration of Dental Implants: Dental implant restoration involves various techniques to repair or replace parts of a dental implant system, maintaining a secure and comfortable fit.
- Composite Fillings: Instead of using metal, composite fillings use tooth-colored resin to fill cavities, creating a natural-looking repair.
- Dental Bonding: If you have a small cavity or a slightly damaged tooth, dental bonding can be a quick and relatively inexpensive way to restore it.
- Denture Repair: If your dentures are cracked, loose, or uncomfortable, repair services can restore their usability.
- Dental Bridge: This procedure involves attaching artificial teeth to existing teeth or implants, closing the space left by missing teeth.
- General Anesthesia: General anesthesia is used for major dental procedures where local anesthesia isn't sufficient to manage pain and discomfort.
- Lower Dentures: If you've lost lower teeth, lower dentures provide a full or partial set of artificial teeth to improve your smile and oral function.
- Simple Tooth Extractions: Simple tooth extractions are a common treatment for removing teeth that are beyond repair, relieving pain and improving your smile.
- Teeth Scaling: Scaling helps to prevent gingivitis and periodontitis by eliminating bacteria and reducing inflammation around your teeth and gums.
- Upper Dentures: Upper dentures are removable replacements for missing upper teeth, improving chewing, speaking, and your smile.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Mishreky:
- How is my dental health connected to my overall health, like my heart?
- Your oral health is critically linked to your overall health, including your heart. Bacteria from chronic gum disease can enter the bloodstream, increasing your risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Regular dental care isn't just about teeth; it's an essential part of maintaining your overall health.
- My medications make my mouth constantly dry. Is this a dental problem?
- Yes, dry mouth (xerostomia) is a common side effect of many medications. Saliva is the body's natural defense against cavities, so a dry mouth significantly increases the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Dr. Mishreky can recommend special rinses, gels, and other strategies to manage dry mouth.
- Is it normal for my gums to bleed when I brush or floss?
- Healthy gums do not bleed. Bleeding gums are usually the first sign of gum inflammation (gingivitis), which can progress to more serious gum disease if left untreated. This is often reversible with a professional cleaning and improved daily oral hygiene.
- How often should I see the dentist, even if nothing hurts?
- Most patients benefit from a checkup and cleaning every six months. These visits help prevent problems like cavities and gum disease by removing tartar buildup. Early detection allows for less invasive and more affordable treatment.
- What is the difference between a crown and a filling?
- A filling is like a patch to repair a small area of damage, while a crown is a cap or helmet that covers the entire tooth. Crowns are used when a tooth is more significantly damaged, cracked, or has had a root canal, providing extra strength and protection.
- If I need a root canal, will I have to see a specialist?
- General dentists, like Dr. Mishreky, can perform many root canals. For more complex cases, such as a difficult-to-reach molar, a referral to an endodontist may be necessary to ensure the best possible outcome. Dr. Mishreky will assess your specific needs and recommend the best course of action.
- My dentures don't fit as well as they used to. What can be done?
- Over time, jawbone and gum tissue change, sometimes causing dentures to loosen. Dr. Mishreky can reline existing dentures or create new ones, depending on the condition, to ensure a comfortable and secure fit for proper eating and speaking.
- What can I do about sensitive teeth?
- Sensitivity is often caused by receding gums exposing the tooth root, or by worn-down enamel. Dr. Mishreky can recommend desensitizing toothpastes, apply fluoride treatments, or check for other issues like cavities or cracked teeth that could be causing the sensitivity.
