Most people don’t enjoy going to the dentist. Some people are actually terrified of going based on bad past experiences, fear of the unknown, and even fear of pain. This was the case for Omi. “The only time I really went to the dentist as a kid was for dental emergencies. So I grew up with a serious fear of going to the dentist that I carried up into adulthood.” It wasn’t until her husband...

Mary Alice is a Pittsburgh native and had been going to the same dentist for over 40 years. “Unfortunately, I’m one of those people that just had bad teeth since childhood. Every tooth in my mouth but two has needed to be capped. A lot of the problem is hereditary, but I also used to chew a pack of gum a day. I had gone through the drill, fill, and pull routine many times and constantly needed...

Jody had not gone to see a dentist in a long time. His wife finally decide to schedule an appointment for him with Atlas Dental. “I was really nervous about going. My teeth weren’t that great and I was embarrassed about what they might think or say.

Karen had seen the same dentist for years, but when her previous dentist was closing his doors she needed to find a new dentist in the Pittsburgh area. “Dr. Mara and Dr. Nick are family but I had not gone there previously because I was happy with my dentists, and as a general rule I don’t like to mix family and work. To my relief, they are good people and amazing dentists! They are very gentle,...

Testimonials

"What a great crew. They make you feel welcome and treat you great. From the receptionists to the dentist and everyone in between. So close and convenient to my work downtown. What a great experience!"

John D.

“I’ve been a patient at this office since 1996 as it’s convenient to where I work and they take my insurance. What can I say–I love Dr. Duncan Friedman and her staff! Everyone is friendly, knowledgeable, professional and they always make me feel welcomed and comfortable. The work they do is impeccable. I had braces as an adult a few years ago and the staff provided me with great care despite having a mouth full of metal. I highly recommend Atlas Dental.”

Diana K.

“I have always been afraid of dentists and have avoided them for large lengths of time. After being recommended by (several) coworkers to go to Atlas, I finally did. Upon arrival, I felt embarrassed and shameful about avoiding my dental health for so long. The staff at Atlas never made me feel that way. The office is warm and welcoming and all the staff are very friendly; they had me laughing most of my visit! When I returned for my cleaning, it was easy and comfortable. They are professional but relatable. I look forward to my next cleaning and really thank the Atlas team for finally being the dentists I actually WANT to see!”

Kat G.

“I was referred to Atlas Dental by a friend, and I am so thankful to have found them. I have terrible dental anxiety, and the entire staff are so friendly and warm, which puts you at ease right from the start. Dr. Duncan Friedman is so great about it, she always talks me down from the rafters and keeps my mind on other things which she’s working through the procedures. She’s very patient and understanding. They also seem to be up to date on the latest equipment and treatment options, which I appreciate. We’ve been working through fixing some poor previous dental work from other dentists which gives me a lot of confidence that they can handle complex problems. I highly recommend them!”

Carissa W.

“I have had my fair share of dental issues, and been seen by a handful of doctors throughout the years. I came to Atlas on a whim, and thank god I did! The whole team is cheerful, polite, and most importantly they do exceptional work. Dr. Nick is not your typical dentist; he is patient and precise. He always takes the extra time to work with you and make sure everything feels good. You are never pressured into any unnecessary purchase, and I truly believe Dr. Nick wants the best for his patients. Thank you Atlas I can finally eat and drink without pain!”

Max R.

“This is the best dental experience of my life. I’ve sent my friends to see them because they are always very sweet and understanding! They all communicate respectfully and they don’t make you feel like crap if you haven’t been able to see a dentist regularly. I never thought I’d say this, but I love going to see the dentist!!! She and her team does quality work and always makes sure you’re comfortable. I LOVE THEM!!!”

Jane B.

“Atlas Dental Specialists have done an amazing job taking care of my teeth. All of the doctors are highly skilled, friendly, and professional. The hygienists do a perfect cleaning and the office staff is very helpful. The service is high-tech as well: digital photographs you can see in real time. You can get text messages and email appointment reminders. Atlas Dental Specialists have given me a happy and healthy smile.”

Will W.

“I’m a dental phobic who had a long history with a wonderful dentist who retired. Over the past five years, I’ve searched for a new dentist who had the same understanding of what the fear of dental procedures involves with a patient and how those concerns are best handled. I finally found such a dentist. Not simply a dentist, but a whole staff who works to make the experience as positive as possible. The office is welcoming, they work to explain what will be done and ease my trepidation as much as possible. Thanks for the understanding atmosphere.”

Paul W.

“Dr. Kathryn Duncan Friedman and her family actually make going to the dentist a pleasant experience! From the receptionist to the hygienists -Hi Stacie and Angela, (I know I have to floss!) to the rest of the Atlas Dental staff, you always make me feel welcomed and comfortable. Outstanding skills and state-of-the-art equipment make any procedure more accessible and easy to understand. Thank you so much!”
