For a lot of East Liberty residents, the biggest questions about dentures are practical ones. How much will this cost? How many times will I need to come in? Will I have to miss work or show up without teeth? Those are fair questions, and you should get straight answers before any treatment starts.
Atlas Dental Specialists provides full, partial, and implant-supported dentures at our Shadyside office on Ellsworth Avenue, just across the East Busway from East Liberty. Drs. Nicholas and Mara Mangini are prosthodontists, specialists in replacing missing teeth, and they will walk you through every option with the price attached.
A conventional complete denture is the most affordable way to replace a full arch of teeth. A partial denture is often the economical choice when you have healthy teeth to keep, and it stops those teeth from drifting into the gaps. Implant-supported dentures cost more upfront but add a level of stability that many patients consider worth the investment.
We price each option for you in writing so you can compare. If you are not ready for implants now, a conventional denture can be made in a way that allows implants to be added later. You can read more about every type on our dentures page.
Implants do not have to mean a full-mouth overhaul. One of the most cost-effective upgrades is placing just two implants in the lower jaw and fitting a denture that snaps onto them. The lower denture stops lifting when you talk and eat, while the upper denture stays conventional.
Details on how the attachments work and how long they last are on our snap-in dentures page. For patients who want a fully fixed option, we also offer All-on-4 implants.
Traditional denture fabrication takes several appointments: an exam, impressions, a bite record, a try-in, and delivery. We use digital scanning and CAD/CAM tools to make each of those visits efficient, and we schedule them close together when your gums allow.
If teeth need to be removed, an immediate denture can be placed the same day as your extractions, so you leave the office with teeth instead of spending the healing period without a smile.
We accept MetLife, Cigna, Principal, and Ameritas and work with most PPO plans, and we will check your benefits before treatment. For the remaining balance, we offer financing through CareCredit, Cherry, and SunBit, and we accept HSA and FSA payments. Patients without insurance can join our dental membership plan.
