General & Preventive
Your Mundelein General Dentist — Whole-Health Care for Every Stage of Life
The short version
General dentistry is the everyday care that keeps your mouth healthy for life — exams, cleanings, fillings, and the watchful eye that catches small problems before they become big ones. At Markiewicz Dental in Mundelein, IL, it’s the foundation of everything we do, for every member of your family, since 1988.
The philosophy is simple: prevention beats repair. Patients who keep up with routine care consistently need less complex, less costly treatment over their lifetime — and research keeps confirming that a healthy mouth supports a healthier body, from managing inflammation to protecting against the complications linked to gum disease.

Everyday Care, Under One Roof
Your routine care starts with regular cleanings and checkups — professional plaque and tartar removal, digital X-rays, and a dentist’s exam of every tooth, your gums, and your bite. When something needs fixing, tooth-colored fillings handle cavities, and our comprehensive new patient exam gives newcomers the full picture from day one. For kids, our pediatric dentistry grows with them from the first tooth onward.
When You Need More Than Routine Care
General dentistry is also the front door to everything else. If your exam turns up gum disease, our board-certified periodontist provides specialist periodontal care in the same hallway. Damaged teeth are restored with crowns, bridges, and conservative inlays and onlays; infected teeth are saved with root canal treatment; and when a tooth truly can’t be saved, extractions and replacement planning happen together. Anxiety in the chair? Sedation options exist for any procedure — including cleanings. And when something can’t wait, we hold same-day emergency appointments.
One Practice, Whole-Family Care Since 1988
The advantage of a practice like ours is continuity: the team that cleans your teeth is the team that catches the crack, places the crown, and checks on it for years afterward — one set of records, familiar faces, and doctors who log hundreds of hours of continuing education every year to keep your care current. Serving Mundelein, Libertyville, Vernon Hills, Long Grove, Grayslake, and all of Lake County.
Patient reviews
From people who had this done here.
I have been a patient here for over twenty years and I would not go anywhere else. Everyone knows my name the moment I walk in, and the care has always been thorough and completely honest.
Dr. Markiewicz walked me through my implant plan on a 3D scan so I understood exactly what would happen. The surgery was far easier than I expected and the tooth looks completely natural.
I used to dread the dentist. This office changed that. They explained every step, checked in constantly, and never once made me feel rushed or judged about the work I had put off.
Whatever your smile needs — routine or overdue, simple or complex — it starts with a visit. Call Markiewicz Dental at (847) 566-2811 or request an appointment online. Serving Mundelein and all of Lake County, IL.
