- ARAshlyn RoseSep 30, 20255.0I got a gum graft done at this office and I loved every single staff member!! They were professional, honest, and allowed me to have all information necessary to heal correctly. Highly recommend:)
- SMSue MitchellJan 26, 20245.0I've been a patient at Mountain West Periodontal for about 5 years and could not recommend them more highly. Everyone in the office is extremely professional, knowledgeable and caring. They take time with you to explain everything and answer your questions. In addition to the regular cleanings I get here, Dr. Weenig did a gum graft for me. I was very nervous about it but he and his staff made me comfortable and supported me through the recovery period. They are the best!
- RRReview ReviewNov 3, 20221.0I do not recommend Dr. Weenig. They are very rude and will lie to get your money. Please don’t support this doctor as he is not ethical and does not care about anything but money. Please consider this review when looking for a good periodontist and don’t give this guy your time of day and move on to someone that has good intentions.
- KRKenneth RiskeyJan 6, 20225.0I've had a couple different procedures: gum grafts, etc and Dr Weenig and his staff are so thorough, caring, communicative, professional and all around awesome!! I can't imagine going anywhere else. Fantastic experiences. Highly recommended!
- HCHannah CondonApr 15, 20215.0Dr. Weenig and each member of his staff are all very caring and provide exceptional service. I recently had a gum graft and was very nervous about the procedure. They made it as painless and unintimidating as possible. The staff members were so kind that I enjoyed going in for my follow ups and seeing their friendly faces. If you are looking for top-notch periodontist, I highly recommend Dr. Weenig and his staff.
Frequently Asked Questions About Mountain West Periodontal Associates
Will the exam hurt?
We will be as gentle as possible. The periodontal exam can be completed with little or no discomfort.
Do I need X-rays?
We will need current periodontal X-rays in order to see disease not otherwise visible. If your referring dentist has taken X-rays, you may request that they be forwarded to us.
What will it cost?
Since all patients are different, your periodontist must complete your examination before establishing your treatment plan and the fee for care. The fee for periodontal treatment can vary considerably depending on the type of problem and the complexity and length of treatment. An approximate fee can usually be determined at the initial visit; but on occasion, some initial treatment or further diagnostics must be completed before the final treatment plan can be established. Our philosophy of practice is to treat as conservatively as possible to attain treatment goals.
Will my insurance cover the cost?
Dental insurance policies often cover periodontal treatment. Please bring all dental benefit information and cards to your examination appointment. Upon request, we will submit a claim to predetermine your insurance benefits; however, this is not required by most plans.
Will I need surgery?
Not everyone needs periodontal surgery. If treated early, gum disease can be controlled without surgery. We will make recommendations based on your situation. Our philosophy of practice is to treat as conservatively as possible to attain treatment goals.
Can my teeth be saved?
The recent advances in periodontal treatment allow us to successfully treat most teeth.
When will I go back to the general dentist?
Our office and your dentist will work closely together. If crowns and fillings are needed, your dentist will provide them. Regular visits to your dentist are an important part of periodontal maintenance.
What if I don’t have gum treatment?
Periodontal disease is a progressive, painless infection. Delays can cause further bone loss and more expense. If your teeth are lost, dentures are never as effective as your natural teeth.
