Abt & Willis DDS

The service at this office has been declining for years now. They are no longer participating in any dental insurance network. I was billed for a service that was not performed on a recent visit the result of which was my insurance not covering a visit. Do not let them refer you to Oral Surgery Associates — OSA is a bad actor with questionable billing practices.
Recently Dr. Abt gave me a bag of toothbrushes at the cleaning and two weeks later they sent me a charge for the toothpaste after the visit was over. When I questioned it – I was told there was a charge.

My family has been using Dr Abt for years. We cannot say enough good things about Dr Abt and the staff. Everyone is professional, and we are treated with courtesy and respect. Dr Abt is extremely knowledgable and does what’s best for the patient. I highly recommend this wonderful dentist!

I have been coming to see Dr. Abt for several years. The office staff and dental hygienists are friendly and the doctors are knowledgeable! I would recommend to anyone looking for quality dental care in the area!

I have been going to Dr. Abt for 20 years. What do I like the best about his practice? Everything. He is highly skilled with a very light touch. He also will not try to make you have work done that isn’t necessary. And if he has to refer you to someone, they will be of the highest quality, just like him. When you have to have work done he usually gives you alternatives, if there are some or explains fully what needs to be done. He can be funny and he has a great «bedside manner».
Dr. Abt also teaches, so he is current with all new ideas and techniques which he uses when he thinks appropriate, not just because they are something new.
My hygenist Anne is the best — friendly and does a great job. I actually look forward to getting my teeth cleaned.
The office staff is very friendly and accommodating. I have referred many people, family and friends and everyone has been more than satisfied.

I’ve been going to this practice since 1985. Dr. Abt is my dentist, I don’t trust anyone else with my teeth. He not only practices dentistry, he is an active professor of dentistry and continues to do research on the most vexing dental problems.
You won’t see this practice advertising, they don’t need to. All of their patients come from word of mouth (no pun intended). These guys are the real deal, their clients are the most educated, discriminating professionals on the North Shore.
Come to this practice because you want to deal with nice people and receive the best care of your teeth. They provide great service and never suggest unnecessary procedures. There is NO upselling here. If you want teeth whitening or cosmetic dentistry, you’ll have to ask them for it.
I would recommend them without reservation.

My husband and I don’t give 5 stars to almost anyone, but Dr. Abt is an exceptional dentist. He tries to make every procedure as painless as possible and is very conscientious about trying to conserve the teeth you have rather than rushing to replace them. We have been his patients for many, many years — close to 20 years.
Dr. Abt always discusses options with us whenever there are procedures needed. He explains the underlying reasons behind each approach and is also sensitive to the costs involved.
The dental technicians are very thorough and do an excellent job cleaning teeth. I am especially sensitive and they always numb the area with a local anesthetic. They are very friendly and we really think of them as family friends rather than just professional people. Likewise, the front desk, especially Mary, is friendly and very competent.

Dr. Abt is the best. Professional, kind, funny and patient. He is thorough in his examinations and even more thorough in his explanations. Excellent bedside manner, takes his time and makes me feel like I’m his only patient, even when it’s clear the office is packed and it’s a busy day. If you need a dentist, Dr. Abt is your guy!

We’ve been seeing Dr. Abt for about 5 years now and couldn’t be happier with the level of care and service we receive. It is obvious from the moment you sit down in the chair that Dr. Abt genuinely enjoys what he does. He is thorough and careful to explain every step whether it’s a regular cleaning or a more involved procedure like my recent root canal. I’m always well informed which helps set my mind at ease especially since I have a bit of ‘dentist anxiety’ which Dr. Abt totally understands! The front desk staff is exceptional, professional and efficient. Especially helpful are Dr. Abt’s Saturday hours. My husband and I both work full time and have 3 kids, so knowing we can get in on a Saturday morning is a great perk. I would recommend this Dr. Abt to anyone looking for a caring, professional and experienced dentist!

Dr. Abt has been my dentist now for about 10 years and I must say that after having two dentists prior to him, he is the best! He always starts with the least invasive way to correct a problem and then goes from there which I really appreciate. While injecting novacaine prior to a proceedure I dont feel a thing. He uses a technique of vibrating the area prior to injecting and its painless. Dr. Abt has a wonderful bedside manner and has always been kind, gentle, professional & always explains what he is going to do thoroughly prior to a procedure. His professional staff is wonderful and always makes me feel comfortable and welcome. As soon as my kids become adults they will also go to Dr Abt. I have referred several friends and family who have also now made him their dentist for life!

Outdated dental practices. I had work done here only to a complete reversal of the work done a week later. The next dentist I went to said the work done was totally outdated, and didn’t even come close to addressing the problem my tooth was having. The result was double the charges for work that should have been correct the first time. A written letter explaining the situation was completely disregarded by management.
