Bone Grafting & Bone Loss Treatment
Supporting jawbone health and future treatment stability.
Bone loss in the jaw can occur due to:
- missing teeth
- periodontal disease
- infection
- trauma
Over time, bone loss may affect tooth stability, facial structure, and the ability to place dental implants.
Healthy bone provides support for teeth and dental implants. Addressing bone loss early helps:
- preserve jaw structure
- support future treatment options
- improve long-term outcomes
Bone loss is often progressive if left untreated.
Bone grafting is a procedure that helps rebuild or preserve bone in areas where it has been lost. Grafting may be performed:
- at the time of extraction
- prior to implant placement
- in areas affected by periodontal disease
The type of graft used depends on individual clinical needs.
As periodontists, we evaluate:
- bone volume and density
- gum tissue health
- long-term functional forces
This allows for careful planning and predictable results.
Healing timelines vary depending on the procedure and extent of grafting. Expectations and next steps are discussed clearly before treatment begins.
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.

Bone Grafting for Dental Implants - Why It Is Often Essential
Dental implants require a sufficient volume and density of jawbone to integrate successfully and provide long-term stability. For many patients, bone loss resulting from gum disease, tooth extraction, or long-term absence of teeth means that bone grafting for dental implants is a necessary preparatory step before implant placement can proceed. At MVPerio, our periodontists are specialist bone grafting providers, trained not only to place implants but to rebuild the bony architecture needed to support them. This integrated approach means your implant and grafting care is managed by the same specialist team from start to finish, ensuring continuity, coordination, and the best possible clinical outcomes.
Dental Bone Implant Utah - Combining Grafting and Implant Expertise
As a dental bone implant Utah specialist group, MVPerio offers bone grafting and implant placement under one roof, a significant advantage over practices that refer out grafting work to separate providers. Our periodontists evaluate your bone volume using in-house CBCT imaging, which provides a precise three-dimensional view of your jaw anatomy and allows for meticulous pre-surgical planning. Whether you require a small localised graft or a more substantial ridge augmentation, we select the most appropriate graft material and technique for your specific anatomy and implant goals.
Types of Bone Grafts Offered at MVPerio
MVPerio offers a full range of bone grafting options, including socket preservation grafts placed at the time of extraction, ridge augmentation for more significant volumetric deficiencies, and guided bone regeneration using barrier membranes to direct new bone growth. Graft materials include autogenous bone (from the patient), allografts (processed human donor bone), xenografts (bovine-derived material), and synthetic options, all selected based on the clinical needs of each case. Our periodontists will discuss the rationale for their recommendation and what the healing timeline looks like before any procedure begins.
From Graft to Implant - A Coordinated Care Pathway
The relationship between bone grafting and implant success is direct: a well-healed, well-formed graft provides the stable foundation that makes implant osseointegration predictable and long-lasting. At MVPerio, we manage your entire surgical care pathway from grafting through to implant placement and beyond with detailed coordination with your restorative dentist. Our Salt Lake City, Herriman, and Lehi locations are all equipped to deliver this level of specialist care. Contact MVPerio to discuss whether bone grafting is part of your implant journey.
