About Dr. Gankin
Dr. Mikhail Gankin received his Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree from the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He then completed a two-year advanced endodontic residency at Nova Southeastern University College of Dental Medicine in Davie, Florida, where he earned his Certificate in Endodontics and developed advanced expertise in endodontic diagnosis, microsurgical techniques, and the preservation of natural teeth.
Dr. Gankin is a board-eligible endodontist and specialist with a comprehensive approach to dentistry. Building upon more than 10 years of experience practicing comprehensive dentistry and over 15 years dedicated to endodontics, he combines the broad perspective of comprehensive dental care with the precision of advanced specialty treatment to deliver individualized, evidence-based care for patients with both routine and highly complex dental conditions.
Dedicated to lifelong learning, Dr. Gankin has completed hundreds of hours of advanced hands-on education in dental implant surgery, oral surgery, periodontal surgery, advanced restorative dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, full-mouth rehabilitation, and full-arch implant reconstruction. This multidisciplinary training enables him to bridge the gap between comprehensive dentistry and specialty care, allowing him to evaluate every patient from multiple perspectives rather than through the lens of a single specialty.
Dr. Gankin believes that exceptional dentistry begins with an accurate diagnosis and a complete understanding of every available treatment option. His philosophy is to preserve healthy, natural teeth whenever possible, restore damaged teeth when appropriate, and replace missing teeth only when necessary. Every treatment recommendation is tailored to the patient’s long-term oral health, function, comfort, aesthetics, and personal goals.
His comprehensive clinical expertise includes microscope-assisted endodontic therapy and endodontic microsurgery, dental implant placement and restoration, advanced restorative and cosmetic dentistry, oral surgery, periodontal surgery, full-mouth rehabilitation, and full-arch implant treatment. This unique combination of specialty training and extensive surgical and restorative experience allows many patients to receive comprehensive care from one experienced clinician, minimizing referrals while maintaining the highest standards of treatment.
Dr. Gankin is passionate about combining advanced technology with clinical excellence. He routinely incorporates cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), high-magnification surgical microscopy, digital intraoral scanning, and modern evidence-based techniques to improve diagnostic accuracy, treatment precision, patient comfort, and long-term clinical outcomes.
Whether a patient requires pain relief through endodontic therapy, a single dental implant, cosmetic enhancement, complex surgical treatment, or a comprehensive full-mouth reconstruction, Dr. Gankin develops personalized treatment plans designed to restore health, function, confidence, and lasting smiles through compassionate, precision-driven care.
