East Liberty has changed more than almost any neighborhood in Pittsburgh over the past fifteen years, and the patients coming through our doors from here reflect that — new residents who just need a routine implant, and longtime East Liberty families dealing with dental work that’s gone unaddressed for years. Both need the same level of specialized care.
East Liberty sits just off the Shadyside border, putting Atlas Dental Specialists within easy reach for anyone near the Target or the Presbyterian church on Highland Avenue. Drs. Nicholas and Mara Mangini bring over 35 years of combined experience as board-certified prosthodontists to every restorative case we take on.
A prosthodontist’s training goes three years past dental school, focused entirely on replacing and rebuilding teeth — which is exactly why general dentists refer their most complex implant and full-mouth cases to specialists rather than handling them in-house. For East Liberty patients dealing with missing teeth or failing old restorations, that extra training usually means a more accurate diagnosis and a treatment plan built to last.
The World Health Organization estimates nearly 3.5 billion people worldwide live with untreated oral disease, underscoring how common — and how often overlooked — these issues really are.
Dental implants remain the strongest long-term option for one or more missing teeth. For patients dealing with more widespread dental damage, full-mouth reconstruction restores the entire bite in a single, coordinated treatment plan.
Dentures and implant-supported dentures offer a comfortable alternative for patients not ready for implant surgery, while crowns and bridges repair damaged individual teeth.
Our commitment to excellence extends to the technology we use in our practice. We employ digital smile design software that allows you to preview your potential results before treatment begins, ensuring we’re aligned on your goals. Intraoral scanners capture precise digital impressions without messy traditional molds, while our CEREC system enables us to create custom crowns and restorations in a single appointment.
For East Liberty patients balancing busy schedules near one of the city’s biggest transit hubs, that means fewer appointments and same-day CEREC crowns instead of the multi-visit process traditional dental offices still use.
Whether you’re new to East Liberty or you’ve watched the neighborhood change for twenty years, every consultation starts the same way — we listen to what’s actually bothering you before recommending any treatment, then build a plan around your budget and timeline.
Named after the mighty Atlas statues outside our Downtown Pittsburgh office, our family-owned practice has served the greater Pittsburgh community for over 25 years. Drs. Nicholas and Mara Mangini took over the practice in 2014 from Dr. Kathryn Duncan Friedman and have since expanded to include a Shadyside location, making quality specialty dental care accessible throughout the region. As trained prosthodontists specializing in dental implants, full-mouth reconstruction, cosmetics, dentures, and Invisalign, we provide comprehensive solutions for patients seeking both simple enhancements and complex smile transformations. Whether you need a routine dental cleaning or full-mouth tooth replacement, our team delivers exceptional care in a warm, welcoming environment. Schedule your consultation today to discover how we can help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.
