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.

From my very first appointment at Mountain View Periodontics, the team took the time to explain every step of my periodontal therapy. I never felt rushed — they listened to my concerns, answered all my questions, and made sure I understood my treatment plan. That level of care made all the difference

Posted on Kimberlee AdamsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had such an excellent experience at Alpen 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 Alpen Periodontics and Dr. Rachna Hedge (I have even already personally referred them to a friend needing the same procedure done!)Posted on Michael RodriguezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The staff and doctors have been great with explaining things before and after a procedure as well as getting all appointments scheduled with such an unusual work schedule.Posted on Steph ThomasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had my second bone graft done around an implant, the first was at a different office. This procedure was 1,000 times better!! Staff is so kind, professional and reassuring. I’ve had 0 swelling and not a single minute of pain post procedure. I wish I would have gone to them the first time!!! Highly recommend Alpen Implants, Dr Hesge and her entire team!!Posted on Amina HoneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Outstanding care and compassion From the moment I walked in, I felt truly cared for. I’ve had bad experiences in the past with dentists and periodontists, and it left me with a hard time trusting anyone. But Dr. [Name] completely changed that for me. She is incredibly skilled, humble, honest, and genuinely friendly. She performed my tooth extraction, cleaned out an infection, and did a bone graft—and I was amazed that I had no swelling, hardly any bleeding, and healed so quickly. Her staff is just as wonderful. I especially want to thank Cynthia, who showed genuine kindness when my phone stopped working and I couldn’t call an Uber. Even though the office was closing, she stayed with me until I got my ride home. I was humbled by her patience, friendliness, and compassion—it meant so much to me.Posted on KyleeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've always found dental work to be incredibly stressful, even cleanings are tough for me, so I was dreading surgery. But my experience with Dr. Hegde made a world of difference and set the bar incredibly high for how I should expect to be treated by a provider. She's kind, patient, and genuinely compassionate. She even held my hand to provide much needed comfort when I was emotional after the procedure. Aftercare instructions were given verbally and in writing, she made sure I understood what I needed to do to heal up quickly. When I texted her afterhours with a concern Dr. Hegde responded literally in one minute, even though she was on vacation. That blew me away and I was so grateful for the reassurance that things were healing well. I felt supported, heard, and cared for throughout the entire process. The staff is just as wonderful; professional, friendly and reassuring. I couldn't have asked for better care.Posted on Mike BondTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very nice office and great staff. I just had my surgery and I am sticking with a solid 5 stars. Was it intense. YES! Do I recommend them? 1000% YES!!Posted on Nancy BoyerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just had my surgery at Alpine Implants 3 days ago. I am so glad that Dr. Hegde and her assistant are so positive and explain everything they need to do and check on me throughout the surgery. All the associates are friendly and supportive of each other and I feel very comfortable being with them.Posted on Russell GillettTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hands down the best place to get work done on your teeth. The doctor is super chill and Olivia was amazing and explained everything thoroughly.Posted on Chris ElisonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
