Gum Recession Isn’t the Problem—It’s a Symptom

At Total Care Dental & Wellness, we don’t just treat gum recession—we uncover what’s causing it.

Most dentists point to brushing technique or age, then recommend a gum graft. But receding gums are often a sign of something deeper: chronic infection, airway issues, bite misalignment, or nutritional deficiencies.

Our process starts with advanced diagnostics—like bacterial microscopy and 3D imaging—to pinpoint the real cause. Then, we support your body’s healing with minimally invasive, biocompatible treatments like ozone therapy, nutrition, and bite correction.

No guesswork. No quick fixes. Just real answers—and long-term results.

A Gentler, More Thoughtful Approach to Gum Recession

Being told you need gum surgery can feel overwhelming. That’s why our care is designed to be more personalized, more comfortable, and focused on healing—not just patching.

From your first visit, we take time to understand your unique health picture. We explain what we find, answer your questions, and walk with you through every step.

Whether your recession is caused by infection, clenching, or structural misalignment, we create a care plan tailored to you—not a one-size-fits-all procedure.

Why Quick Fixes Don’t Work for Receding Gums

Grafting alone won’t solve gum recession if the root cause is still active. That’s why many patients find themselves back in the chair months or years later.

At TCD, we go deeper. We identify the true drivers of gum loss—like inflammation, airway restrictions, or bone loss—and treat them at the source.

Using holistic tools like ozone, microscopy, and nutrition, we help restore your gum health naturally, while supporting your whole body in the process.

Work With Doctors Who See What Others Miss

Our team of biological dentists is trained to detect what many providers overlook: subtle infections, bone changes, airway issues, and bite problems that silently drive gum loss.

We combine advanced diagnostics with deep listening, so you feel heard, understood, and empowered throughout your care.

This is dentistry done differently—thoughtful, thorough, and focused on the why, not just the what.

Erica - Holistic Dentist Patient in Utah Review

As a holistic practitioner it was important to me to find a dentist/dental practice that would be supportive of not just my goals for teeth health but for overall health. I’ve been to many dentists over the years and Total Care Dental outperforms every one of them. They take a complete healthcare approach, are sensitive to individual needs, knowledgeable and take time to make sure no unnecessary procedures are a part of care and that the experience is as positive and patient-centric as possible. I recommend them to family, friends, and clients now and love the service and support I know I have received and that they can count on as well.

Susan- Holistic Dentist Patient in Utah Review

Best dental visit I've ever had! The whole staff was so friendly and I felt they all genuinely cared about my well being. Michelle Jorgensen is such a wonderful dentist and an incredible person. I love all of her knowledge and wisdom that she shares. Wendy gave me the best cleaning I ever had and Alyssa and Margot were so great to talk to. Thanks for making my visit so great and being the wonderful people that you are! See you all again soon!

Katie - Holistic Dentist patient in utah

I wish I found Total Care Dental 10 years ago. They were amazing. For the first time ever I left the dentist with warm and fuzzy feelings, which hasn’t been my experience with other dental offices in the past. Our dental hygienist was so very knowledgeable and sweet with my little girl. We also got to meet the pediatric dentist Dr. Jones. She was very knowledgeable, helpful and understanding. My experience was everything I hoped it would be and more. I will be telling everyone I know to go to their office.

Terri - Holistic Dentist Patient in Utah Review

I found my dental care from Total Care Dental to be top notch. The staff made every effort to assure my comfort, from a warm blanket to the freshly warmed and wet washcloth to wash my lip area off after the procedure. The mints and lip balm was a pleasant surprise and really helped. The dental procedure was delivered with no pain, not even during the injection. Care was taken to go slowly and I never had a sense of anything being rushed. I appreciate the passion and dedication that Dr. Jorgensen and her colleagues and staff demonstrate in their practice. Their entire focus is offering dental health that will support the person's whole body. They believe that the health of our body begins in the mouth, and they train, practice and teach their clients how to achieve this.

Paul - Holistic Dentist Patient in Utah Review

I have been to many dentists throughout my life and I have to say that Total Care Dental is the most professional, most effective and most friendly medical office I have ever been to. It takes about 40 minutes for me to get there, but they are worth the extra travel time. They really are the best.

Geni - Holistic Dentist Patient in Utah Review

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!

alicia - Holistic Dentist Patient in Utah Review

Loved my entire experience. Warmly greeted, pleasant office staff. I was given the grand tour and introduced to staff members, and the best part - you can have a dairy free, gluten free cookie and a smoothie - the cookie was delicious. Not to worry, there are new toothbrushes and earth paste in the restroom to clean up for an exam if needed. Going through the new patient consultation was informative and every question I had was answered. I would recommend Total Care Dental to anyone looking for holistic dentistry.

andrew - Holistic Dentist Patient in Utah Review

Excellent! Amazing! Wonderful! Best office visit I've ever experienced!! The most accommodating excited friendly people I've ever experienced. The dentist was by far the most knowledgeable trustworthy dentist I've ever experienced! The office is beautiful, comfortable and clean! I can wait to take my whole family to get their much needed dental visits now that I found the dentist of my dreams! It's nice to not be taken advantage of and pushed to have unnecessary toxic treatments. I don't have to be on the defense anymore. They were very understanding and happy to answer all my questions.
