Periodontal Disease Therapy
Focused care to manage gum disease and preserve natural teeth.
Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the gums and supporting bone. It often progresses silently and may include symptoms such as:
- bleeding gums
- bad breath
- gum recession
- tooth mobility
Early diagnosis is key to managing progression.
Treatment is based on the stage and severity of disease and may include:
- non-surgical therapy
- targeted antimicrobial care
- surgical intervention when indicated
- long-term maintenance planning
Our goal is disease control and tooth preservation whenever possible.
Periodontists are trained to manage both gum inflammation and underlying bone loss. Advanced diagnostics allow us to assess:
- pocket depth
- bone levels
- risk of progression
Treatment plans are tailored to long-term stability.
Periodontal disease requires continued monitoring. Supportive periodontal care helps maintain results and reduce recurrence.
If you notice bleeding gums, persistent inflammation, or have been told you have gum disease, a periodontal evaluation can help clarify next steps.
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.

Periodontal Therapy Utah - Treating Gum Disease at Every Stage
Periodontal disease is one of the most prevalent chronic conditions in adult oral health and one of the most consequential when left untreated. It is also deeply connected to systemic health, with established links to heart disease, diabetes, pregnancy complications, and cognitive decline. Periodontal therapy Utah, delivered by a board-certified periodontist, is the most effective and evidence-based approach to managing this condition. At MVPerio, Dr. Dan Thunell and Dr. Rachna Hegde offer comprehensive periodontal therapy programmes tailored to the stage and severity of your disease — from early gingivitis through to advanced periodontitis requiring surgical intervention.
Understanding Periodontal Treatment Cost
One of the most common concerns patients raise is periodontal treatment cost. At MVPerio, we believe in complete financial transparency from the outset. The cost of your treatment depends on the severity of your condition, the number of sites requiring treatment, and whether non-surgical or surgical intervention is most appropriate for your case. Many periodontal procedures are covered in whole or in part by dental insurance, and our team will work with you to understand your coverage and discuss payment options before any treatment begins. Delaying care because of cost concerns almost always results in greater complexity and greater expense down the line, early intervention is consistently the more affordable path.
Non-Surgical and Surgical Periodontal Care
MVPerio takes a staged approach to periodontal disease management. For the majority of patients, non-surgical periodontal therapy including deep scaling and root planing, antimicrobial therapy, and structured maintenance is highly effective at controlling disease and preventing further bone loss. When surgical intervention is required, our periodontists offer a range of procedures including osseous surgery, bone regeneration, and gum grafting, all performed in-house within our specialist practice. Every decision is guided by your clinical data and communicated to you clearly before proceeding.
Long-Term Periodontal Health at MVPerio
MVPerio’s approach to periodontal disease goes beyond the immediate episode of treatment. Our goal is to help you achieve a level of oral health that is genuinely stable and maintainable for life. This means coordinating closely with your referring dentist, placing you on an appropriate recall programe, and monitoring key clinical markers at every visit. Our three Utah locations Salt Lake City, Herriman, and Lehi are all equipped to deliver the full spectrum of periodontal care under the same specialist standard.
