Dr. Andrew Kurialacherry
Dr. Cherry is the periodontist behind every treatment plan at Foundation Implants. He earned his dental degree at Midwestern University College of Dental Medicine and completed his residency in periodontics at Augusta University, after an undergraduate degree in chemistry and religion at Austin College. He has been in practice for more than ten years, and his work is limited to periodontics and implant dentistry rather than general dentistry.
He is a member of the American Academy of Periodontology and the American Dental Association, and takes part in the Denver Implant Study Club. He is a co-author of published case research in Case Reports in Dentistry on the use of connective tissue grafting to resolve gingival fenestration. In 2026 he was named a Top Dentist by 5280 Magazine.
There is more on his background, training and approach on the periodontal specialist page.
What to Expect From the Practice
Foundation Implants is a single-specialist practice in Lone Tree. The person who diagnoses you is the person who treats you, so there is no handover between providers partway through a treatment plan, and referrals come straight to Dr. Cherry.
Most patients arrive either on a referral from their general dentist or after noticing something themselves, usually bleeding, recession, or a tooth that has started to feel loose. The first appointment is an examination and a conversation about the options, not a treatment visit. What that involves, along with insurance and what to bring, is set out on the first visit page.
We see patients Tuesday through Thursday and on Friday mornings, from a single location on East Lincoln Avenue in Lone Tree. Periodontics is a referral-heavy specialty, so a good share of the schedule comes from general dentists across the south Denver area, and we keep those dentists updated as treatment progresses. Dentists sending a patient across can use the referral form. Anyone weighing up who to see may find this guide to choosing a periodontist useful.
