Periodontics Northwest: Dr. Mao & Dr. Shaya

Northgate’s mix of medical offices and retail hubs makes it a practical stop for both errands and specialized care. Tucked in the upper level of a professional building, Periodontics Northwest: Dr. Mao & Dr. Shaya focuses solely on gum health and dental implants—no general dentistry, just targeted periodontal treatment. The area’s easy freeway access means it’s a straightforward drive whether you’re coming from Shoreline or downtown, though parking lots here fill up fast during weekday peaks.

Their suite at 2111 N Northgate Way UNIT 215, Seattle, WA 98133 puts them a short walk from the transit center, which might appeal to anyone relying on buses or rideshares. Periodontists often handle cases that general dentists refer out—think gum disease management, bone grafting, or the surgical placement of implants. This isn’t the place for routine cleanings, but if you’ve been told you need a specialist for receding gums or a failing bridge, they’re equipped for those conversations.

Logistics are simple: questions about procedures or insurance coverage can go to (206) 367-6767. Some periodontal offices split time between multiple locations, but this one keeps its practice confined to Northgate. That might mean more consistent availability for follow-ups, though you’d want to confirm scheduling directly. Implant-supported dentures, sinus lifts, and laser treatments for gum disease are all within their scope, though they don’t advertise cosmetic services like veneers or whitening.

First-time visitors will want to plug the address into a map—unit numbers in this complex aren’t always obvious from the street. Directions here pull up the exact entrance. Northgate’s redevelopment has brought more foot traffic to the area, but the upper-level offices still feel a bit removed from the shopping crowds below.
