The entire team at Andover Periodontics is just phenomenal. With Dr. Dona's help I was able to reverse a lot of my gum issues. She was always kind, empathetic, and I always felt like she was truly invested in my gum health and progress. The best team I have ever worked with! Thank you!!

I recently had two dental implants placed by Dr. Maria Dona, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the entire experience. From the very first consultation, Dr. Dona was incredibly thorough, kind, and professional. She took the time to explain each step of the procedure and made sure I was comfortable and informed throughout the process.
The procedure itself went smoothly, and her attention to detail and gentle approach made what could have been a stressful experience feel surprisingly easy. Her team was also wonderful—welcoming, efficient, and clearly committed to patient care.
If you’re considering dental implants or need a periodontist, I highly recommend Dr. Dona. She’s truly exceptional at what she does, and you’ll be in great hands.

About Andover Periodontics
Andover Periodontics is a periodontal and dental implant practice located at Two Stevens Street in Andover, Massachusetts. The practice describes its mission as helping patients understand their oral health challenges, offering evidence-based treatment options, and working together with each patient and their general dentist to restore function, esthetics and overall oral health. Its dental implant services include single tooth implants, implant supported bridges, implant supported dentures, and full arch replacement using only four implants for patients missing all of the teeth in an upper or lower arch. The practice also offers computer-guided implant placement, in which specialized software is used to create custom surgical guides that direct the location, angle and depth of each implant.
Because the practice is focused on periodontics, its periodontists also rebuild lost or resorbed bone to create a solid foundation before placing implants. Other services listed on its website include periodontal evaluation, scaling and root planing, crown lengthening, bone and tissue regeneration, soft tissue (gum) grafting, pocket depth reduction, impacted tooth exposure, frenectomy, laser treatment of periodontitis, and ongoing periodontal maintenance. The office highlights its use of 3D cone beam imaging technology, and its team emphasizes making patients feel comfortable and relaxed during visits and confident in their treatment decisions. Andover Periodontics works with referring dentists and welcomes patients from Andover and the surrounding area, with appointment requests accepted online or by phone at 978-475-0567.
