Extractions & Regenerative Care

Careful removal of non-restorable teeth with future planning in mind.

A tooth may need removal due to:

 

  • severe decay
  • fracture
  • infection
  • advanced periodontal disease

Our focus is to remove teeth only when preservation is no longer predictable.

Extractions are performed with attention to:

 

  • surrounding bone
  • gum tissue preservation
  • future treatment possibilities

This is especially important when implant placement may be considered later.

In some cases, regenerative techniques may be used to:

 

  • preserve bone volume
  • support healing
  • improve future implant outcomes

These decisions are made based on clinical findings.

Sedation options are routinely discussed for anxious patients. Our team focuses on:

 

  • comfort
  • clear expectations
  • calm, predictable care

If future implant placement or restorative treatment is planned, we coordinate closely with the referring dentist.

Great experience with Dr. Hedge at Mountain View Implants and Periodontics. I had a bone graft and implant done, and the procedure took about an hour and went very smoothly.

The team was professional and efficient, and everything was straightforward. Healing has been quick with no issues so far.

Would definitely recommend.

I had such an excellent experience at Mountain View Periodontics! The team was professional, caring, and took the time to explain everything. Cynthia (the office manager) was incredibly kind and so thorough in gathering all of the details around my insurance coverage for the procedure (it was really nice not having to worry about any of that!) Dr. Rachna Hedge was absolutely fantastic and made me feel so comfortable during the consultation and gum graft. My graft went smoothly, recovery was so much easier than expected, and I’m very happy with the results. I HIGHLY recommend Mountain View Periodontics and Dr. Rachna Hedge (I have even already personally referred them to a friend needing the same procedure done!)

If you’re anxious about dental procedures like I was, I can’t say enough good things about Mountain View Implants & Periodontics. From my very first visit, Dr. Hedge and her team made me feel genuinely cared for.

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.

Where do I start? I had an appointment with dr Rachana for a follow up visit, I went to the appointment, but the dr never showed up. Apparently she had to leave for her daughter’s birthday party. Later on I had an appointment scheduled, however I could not make the appointment and tried to call to reschedule, but they never answer the phone. Ever! I was charged $50.00 I guess for missing the appointment.
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.

OH, WOW! I can't say enough. This was the best experience I have ever had in a Periodontic/Dental office since I was a child. I'm 64 now and she pulled 3 teeth and I didn't feel a thing, during or after. I haven't had any bruising, swelling or pain! Dr. Hegde is very professional, thorough and informative. She consistently showed concern for my comfort and well being and was able to read my body language if I tensed up. Her office staff was very kind, the whole atmosphere of the office was like going home. Honestly, I can't say enough good things about my overall experience with Dr. Hegde and her office staff and I highly recommend Dr Hegde for any type of Periodontal needs you might have.

Regenerative Bone Grafting - Preserving the Foundation for Future Implants

When a tooth is lost or extracted, the surrounding jawbone begins to resorb, a natural but damaging process that can compromise your ability to receive dental implants in the future. Regenerative bone grafting is a specialist procedure that introduces bone graft material into the socket or defect site immediately following extraction, stimulating the body’s own healing response to rebuild and preserve bone volume. At MVPerio, our board-certified periodontists perform regenerative bone grafting with the expertise and technology to maximise the success of each procedure, giving your jawbone the foundation it needs for long-term stability, whether or not implants are part of your immediate plan.

Dental Bone Grafting - When and Why It Is Needed

Dental bone grafting is often recommended in cases of significant bone loss resulting from periodontal disease, long-term tooth absence, or trauma. Beyond implant preparation, bone grafting plays an important role in restoring the structural integrity of your jaw and supporting the health of adjacent teeth. At MVPerio, we use a range of graft materials, including autogenous bone, allograft, and xenograft options, selected based on the clinical requirements of each patient. Our periodontists will explain the process fully during your consultation, including the expected healing timeline and how your graft integrates with your long-term treatment plan.

Specialist Tooth Extractions

Where a tooth cannot be saved, MVPerio performs specialist extractions with a focus on minimising trauma to surrounding bone and tissue. Our periodontists are trained to carry out both routine and complex extractions, including teeth with significant periodontal involvement while simultaneously preparing the site for future restoration. In most cases, a socket preservation graft is placed at the time of extraction to prevent bone collapse and ensure the site heals optimally for an implant or other restoration. You will receive clear post-operative guidance and a coordinated follow-up plan with your referring dentist.

Advanced Regenerative Technology at MVPerio

MVPerio incorporates advanced regenerative tools including PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) therapy and guided bone regeneration membranes to support faster, more predictable healing outcomes. These techniques concentrate growth factors from your own blood to accelerate tissue repair and improve graft integration. Our three Utah locations are equipped to provide this level of specialist regenerative care, and our clinical team is committed to transparent communication at every stage of your treatment.
