Detailed Introduction

Utah Valley Periodontics, located at 1375 E 800 N, Orem, UT 84097, is a dental clinic specializing in periodontics and dental implantology. The clinic was notably led by Dr. Alex Bankhead, a highly experienced and respected periodontist, who is currently retired. Dr. Bankhead, born and raised in Utah, came from a family of dentists and received his Certificate of Specialization in Periodontology and Master of Science Degree from the University of Nebraska in Lincoln. His master's thesis focused on bone regeneration in humans, an area in which he was an early pioneer demonstrating histological evidence of its efficacy. Prior to his retirement, Dr. Bankhead was a faculty member at Dr. Gordon Christensen's prestigious Practical Clinical Courses (PCC) for nearly a decade, teaching dentists worldwide advanced surgical techniques in periodontics and dental implantology. He has also produced several educational videos on various periodontal and implant surgical procedures. Utah Valley Periodontics emphasizes a patient-centered approach, aiming to treat every patient with respect, dignity, and concern. They are dedicated to promoting long-term patient relationships through quality care and patient education. The clinic is equipped with advanced technology, including Kodak 3D CT Imaging, which allows for precise diagnosis and treatment planning. The services offered at Utah Valley Periodontics include, but are not limited to, the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease (periodontal disease), various surgical techniques for gum health, dental implant placement for single or multiple missing teeth, full mouth reconstruction, and cosmetic periodontal procedures. They provide options for replacing single missing teeth to avoid compromising adjacent healthy teeth, replacing removable partial dentures with more stable implant-supported solutions, and securing full upper or lower dentures with implants, even in cases requiring bone regeneration. The clinic's team, including surgical assistants and hygienists, is committed to providing a comfortable and compassionate environment for patients. While Dr. Bankhead is retired, the website indicates that the clinic continues to provide services with other practitioners, including Dr. Jensen and hygienists, offering continued care for periodontal maintenance and dental implants. The clinic strives to provide transparent fee discussions and assists with insurance claims, accepting various payment methods and offering financing options like DENTAL FEE PLAN and CARE CREDIT.

Dr. Bankhead and his team are seriously the BEST! They've always been so kind and respectful, and have really worked with me to make sure I have the best experience possible.

As someone who has major anxiety about any medical/dental treatments, I can actually say that I enjoy going to my appointments because everyone is SO great! They are skilled, caring, just plain fun to be around, and I completely trust them. :) I was SO worried about finding the right practice for my not-exactly-typical dental needs, and I can definitely say I found it at Utah Valley Periodontics!

Dr Bankhead and his staff have been very personable and caring during the procedures performed on severely infected area in a molar which had extended into to the bone and sinus tissues. The Office staff made every effort to schedule my needs in a timely manner and information was given regarding the procedures and my financial concerns were addressed. The office environment is peaceful as large windows showcase the beautiful mountain landscape. Offers of refreshment for those waiting for patients is thoughtful and appreciated. The knowledgeable Medical staff was very sensitive and informative as they allayed my fears and concerns about the tooth extraction and the bone grafting that was performed.

I appreciated the personal phone inquiry made by Dr Bankhead the evening after my surgery. I would definitely recommend Utah Valley Periodontics to anyone needing professional periodontal expertise! March 2018 Four months later the first steps of a dental implant has begun. Again, the experience was very positive. The office staff recognized me and called me by name when we interacted. The new receptionist introduced herself to me and was very responsive to my needs.

Every procedure was explained and my comfort needs were totally met. I have experienced little discomfort or problems post anesthesia and during the recovery. I appreciated the short post op procedure instructions which were concise and to the point. I will definitely add Dr Bankhead as a referral to anyone needing periodontal care!

Dr. Bankhead and his staff are fabulous! I have been a patient for more than 3 years, I have had 2 gum grafts, bone grafting and all of my periodic cleanings with them. They are very knowledgeable, professional and friendly.

I have never felt rushed and always treated with respect and care. Each surgery has been successful, the care exceptional during the procedures and follow up from the Dr and staff is awesome. I wouldn't consider using anyone else and consistently recommend them!

First, they had to cancel my procedure twice due to issues on their side. Then I had it done today and they did a terrible job communicating instructions on medication and didn't even send me home with the 800mg ibuprofen they said would be in my bag. To top it off, they said to bring my invisalign retainers in so they could modify them and I could continue wearing them after my procedure. Well I went to put it in tonight and they modified the wrong part and it stabbed into the affected area from my gum graft, which is now extra painful and bleeding.

They also made a mess of my backup retainer. Here's hoping the actual gum graft turns out okay.
