With August just beginning, families everywhere are preparing for the start of a new school year. But with all the excitement over new clothes, backpacks, and school supplies, something like a back-to-school checkup can get lost in the shuffle.

That’s why we’d like to recommend calling Dr. Salivonchik’s Coplay dental office now instead of waiting, because once the busy school season starts, it can be even harder to bring your little one in for an important exam and cleaning.

Regular checkups and cleanings are essential for patients of any age. During a checkup at our Coplay office, Dr. Salivonchik can look for signs of common oral health problems like tooth decay, gum disease, and TMJ dysfunction, among other issues. What’s more, regular visits also let us perform a professional cleaning. Through a professional cleaning we can get teeth cleaner than is possible with just brushing and flossing alone.

A back-to-school visit isn’t just a good idea for young kids, though. We’d like to see all of our patients come in for a regular visit, and there’s no better time than August. Even though August is the eighth month, it marks a clear line between spring and fall, splitting the year in half.

Are you ready to schedule a back-to-school visit for your child or yourself? We’d be happy to help you. Call our Coplay office today to reserve your appointment. Dr. Salivonchik serves patients from Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, The Poconos, and beyond.

Making Dental Work Last

Thanks to a great cosmetic or restorative dentistry service, you’re enjoying better oral health than you have in a long time. What’s more, you gain a sense of confidence you didn’t used to have. Maybe you had one or more teeth replaced with dental implants or you had a tooth capped with a CEREC crown. Whatever your case, there’s one question on your mind now, and it’s an important: how can I make it last?

After all, a cosmetic or restorative service like one of these is an investment. And as with any investment, you want to protect it. So how can you do that?

Often, the best way is through regular exams and cleanings, in addition to brushing and flossing at home. That may come as a surprise, especially if you’ve had all your teeth replaced with dental implants, but it’s true. After all, your smile is still vulnerable to common problems like gum disease, oral cancer, TMJ dysfunction, and more.

Our best advice for you, then, is to treat your restored smile the way you would if it were your natural smile. Brush at least twice a day, floss at least once, and rinse with an effective mouthwash. Be sure you also stay in touch with Dr. Salivonchik. Regular visits are a key part of maintaining great oral health.

Do you need to schedule your next visit? Call Dr. Salivonchik’s Coplay dental office today to reserve your appointment. We serve patients from all around the Lehigh Valley area, including Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, The Poconos, and beyond.

Improve Your Quality of Life and Your Confidence with Dentures

At Dr. John Salivonchik’s Coplay dental office, we want to provide dental care that will improve our patients’ quality of life and self-confidence, and one way we’re doing that is through partial or full dentures. What millions of Americans have already discovered is that partial or full dentures can give someone who is missing one or more teeth a new lease on life by restoring their smile’s functionality, which makes eating and speaking easier, and their appearance.

A Variety of Options to Treat Your Specific Needs

Because not every patient has the same needs, denture patients from the Coplay area will find that we offer both partial and full dentures, in addition to offering implant-supported dentures. This ensures that we’re able to need the denture needs of those in our community, regardless of which type our patients might need.

And which type do you need?

If you only need to replace a couple of teeth, you might already know the answer to that. But if you have missing teeth and several of your remaining teeth have begun to weaken, the answer may not be quite as easy. Which is why we always recommend that patients considering dentures come to our Coplay dental office for a consultation appointment. During a consultation, Dr. Salivonchik can talk to you about your needs and explain your options, in addition to answering any questions you might have about our denture options.

Are you ready to restore your smile? Call us today. Our Coplay dental office is located in Lehigh Valley and serves patients from Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, The Poconos, and beyond.
