OUR Locations
MVPerio provides specialist care at three convenient locations:
Conservative, Evidence-Based Treatment
Our treatments are guided by scientific research and focused on preserving natural teeth and supporting tissues whenever possible.
When preservation is not predictable, we plan for tooth replacement with carefully placed dental implants, including same-day implant placement in appropriate cases.
Dental Implants
Permanent, natural-looking solutions to replace missing teeth—planned with precision using advanced diagnostics and surgical expertise.
Gum Grafting & Soft Tissue Care
Treatment for gum recession to protect tooth roots, improve comfort, and restore balance to your smile.
Periodontal Disease Therapy
Focused care to manage gum disease, preserve natural teeth, and support long-term oral health.
Advanced bone grafting
We provide advanced bone grafting to rebuild lost bone and support long-term oral health.
Your Comfort Matters
We understand that periodontal care and surgery can cause anxiety. That’s why our approach emphasises:
Clear, calm explanations
We take time to explain every step of your care in a relaxed and reassuring way, so you always feel informed and comfortable.
Thoughtful Treatment Planning
Your treatment plan is carefully designed with attention to detail, ensuring the best possible outcomes for your oral health.
Sedation Options for Anxious Patients
We offer safe and effective sedation options to help nervous patients feel relaxed and at ease during their visit.
A Supportive Team at Every Step
Our caring team is here to guide, assist, and support you throughout your entire treatment journey.
We always take the time to ask if you have questions or concerns—because informed patients feel more confident in their care.
Patient Testimonial
The team was professional and efficient, and everything was straightforward. Healing has been quick with no issues so far.
Would definitely recommend.
I came in for gum recession treatment with a lot of dental anxiety, but Dr. Hedge immediately put me at ease by listening to my concerns and clearly explaining everything.
The day of surgery, she and her staff went above and beyond to make me comfortable, even suggesting I bring a blanket and headphones. When I had a small issue after hours, Dr. Hedge responded quickly, even though it was the weekend.
It’s rare to find a dental office that combines such skill with genuine kindness, but this one truly does.
I can go on. I asked for an estimate on a deep cleaning and was told about $1000.00. I didn’t want a guess, I wanted an estimate. So I didn’t schedule the appointment.
Finally I payed for services rendered, but found out later that they filed a claim with my insurance company who eventually paid my bill in full. It took about six weeks for them to finally reimburse me.
I did a lot of research to find a periodontist that met my expectations I thought Dr Rachana was the right one. I was wrong. I’m never going back.
Advanced, Thoughtful Care
We use modern diagnostic and surgical tools to plan treatment accurately and conservatively, including:
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)
Advanced 3D imaging technology that provides highly detailed views of teeth, bone, and surrounding structures for precise diagnosis and treatment planning.
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)
A natural regenerative technique using your body’s own healing factors to promote faster recovery and improved tissue healing.
Piezosurgery® Technology
Ultrasonic surgical technology that allows precise, minimally invasive bone procedures while protecting surrounding soft tissues.
Digital Treatment Planning
Computer-guided planning tools that enhance accuracy, predictability, and efficiency for safer and more successful treatment outcomes.
Technology supports better decisions—but it’s always guided by experience and clinical judgment.
