Dr. Amanda Clemente

When teeth are lost or failing, dental implants often become the next logical step—but not every provider specializes in the precision work required. Periodontists focus on the structures supporting teeth, including gums and bone, which makes them a natural fit for implant placement. Their training extends beyond general dentistry, covering surgical techniques that ensure implants integrate properly with the jaw. That level of expertise can make a difference in both function and longevity.

Dr. Amanda Clemente practices in the Oakland neighborhood at 3501 Terrace St B89 Pittsburgh, PA 15213. The office sits near the University of Pittsburgh campus, an area where medical professionals and students frequently seek specialized care. Beyond implants, the practice handles gum grafts, bone regeneration, and treatment for periodontal disease—procedures that demand a steady hand and a deep understanding of oral anatomy. Patients who need more than a routine cleaning often find themselves here, referred by general dentists or arriving after their own research.

Questions about recovery time, implant materials, or insurance coverage can be directed to (412) 648-8595. Staff typically field calls during weekday hours, though messages left after closing are usually returned the following business day. The practice doesn’t advertise weekend availability, so those with tight schedules may want to plan ahead. Inquiries about sedation options or pre-surgical consultations are common, especially among patients who’ve delayed treatment due to anxiety.

Finding the right specialist sometimes comes down to logistics—parking, transit access, or proximity to work. A map of the Terrace Street location is available online for directions: here. Oakland’s mix of historic homes and academic buildings means street parking can be limited, but nearby garages offer alternatives. For anyone weighing implant options, the neighborhood’s concentration of healthcare providers makes it a practical choice.
