cosmetic dentistryDo you want to change how your smile looks? You can trust Dr. S. John Salivonchik to give you stunning results. At every stage of care he will put your needs first, beginning with a customized, comprehensive smile design.

What is a smile design? It’s a treatment plan that combines your own ideas with Dr. Salivonchik’s years of expertise. Going forward, he will refer to it as the treatment process gets underway.

As Dr. Salivonchik himself explains in this video, a lot goes into making a customized smile design, including a consideration of what’s right for the patients’ age.

The New Year is still weeks away, but it’s not too soon to start thinking about what kind of services you might need for 2014. Every year, new patients embrace what’s possible with cosmetic dentistry, while others may already know about one or two restorative services they’ll need.

If you fall into either category, we want to encourage you to call Dr. Salivonchik’s Whitehall dental office for a late-2013 or early-2014 appointment. During your appointment, he’ll be happy to talk to you about what’s on your mind and the concerns you might have about the care you need. Dr. Salivonchik will also complete an oral health exam so he’s fully up to date on how your smile is currently doing.

Our combination of cosmetic and restorative services includes many of the best available today, including:

When deciding what services are ultimately right for you, we’ll consider a wide range of factors, among them your health and the goals you’ve already devised. We’re committed to making sure our Whitehall-area patients receive the personalized care they expect.

And for patients who choose teeth whitening, there’s an extra benefit. Dr. Salivonchik donates all teeth whitening fees to the Children’s Cancer Research Fund at the University of Minnesota. This lets patients do something good for others while at the same time improving the appearance of teeth and boosting self-confidence. You can learn more about our special program by visiting our teeth whitening page.

Are you ready to get a jump on your care for 2014? Call us today. Our office is located in Lehigh Valley and serves Whitehall, Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, The Poconos, and surrounding areas.

Anti-Aging Benefits of Teeth Whitening

August 9, 2013

Coffee, tea, red wine, soda, and fruit juice are some of the most common causes of teeth stains, but they aren’t the only ones. The fact is aging plays a part in the staining process, too. As we age, our smiles will lose some of their gleam.

But thankfully, with a cosmetic dentistry service like teeth whitening, patients can turn back the clock on their smiles and enjoy better self-confidence.

At Dr. S. John Salivonchik’s dental office in Whitehall, we can provide you with custom-made bleaching trays that will allow you to brighten your smile in the comfort of your own home. Research shows that take-home whitening is more effective than in-office whitening systems like Zoom.

Here’s what you can expect. First, Dr. Salivonchik will look at the stains on your teeth to see if you’re a good candidate for teeth whitening. If you are, a set of custom-made whitening trays will be made based on an impression we take of your teeth. When your trays are ready and you have your whitening gel, getting results will be as simple as wearing your gel-filled trays daily for just a short amount of time. Within one or two weeks, you’ll see the dazzling results you’ve been looking for. In addition, all fees for teeth whitening are donated to The Children’s Cancer Research Fund and Brenton’s Hope.

Do you want to know if teeth whitening is right for you? Call our Whitehall dental office for a consultation with Dr. Salivonchik. We’re happy to provide patients from Whitehall, Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, The Poconos, and beyond with the anti-aging benefits of teeth whitening.

Further Convenient with an Inlay or Onlay Milled By CEREC

May 21, 2013

Filed under: CEREC,Cosmetic Dentistry — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , — S. John salivonchik @ 7:56 am

In our last post we talked about CEREC and how it’s making crown restorations easier and more convenient. Crowns are just the beginning, though. Our CEREC milling can also fabricate metal-free inlays and onlays that will blend in seamlessly with your smile.

It’s helpful to think of inlays and onlays as in-between services. Let’s say you have a big filling that needs to be replaced. On the one hand, you almost need more than a filling to put in its place; on the other, a full crown could almost be described as overkill. What you really need is a service that can bridge the gap between a filling and a crown—that’s where inlays and onlays come in.

Inlays are made to go between a tooth’s cusps, which are the bumps on top of a tooth. Onlays, meanwhile, are made to fit over one or more cusps. In both cases, because they’re being milled with Dr. Salivonchik’s CEREC machine, patients can look forward to getting the care they need in a single appointment instead of two or more.

Is an inlay or onlay right for you? To find out, call Dr. Salivonchik to reserve an appointment. During at a consultation at his Coplay dental office, Dr. Salivonchik can help you understand your needs and explain the best course of action that will work best for you. We’re proud to serve patients all around the Lehigh Valley area.

Convenient Restorations with CEREC

May 7, 2013

It’s not uncommon for patients to put off care because of a busy schedule. With so much to do, you might wonder if you really have time for a procedure that takes at least two appointments. Thankfully, with the advances being made in today’s dental technology, certain services are taking less time than they ever have.

One example of this is dental crowns. In the past, it took at least two visits to restore a chipped, broken, or decayed tooth with a crown. Now, with CEREC and e.max crowns, patients can get the custom-made restoration they need in a single appointment.

That’s because it only takes about two hours for CEREC’s in-office milling unit to fabricate a restoration. During that time, you can rest comfortably in Dr. Salivonchik’s Coplay office. Then, when the milling process is complete, we can attach your crown and have you on your way again with no need for a second appointment.

That also means you don’t have to worry about damaging or losing a temporary crown. Thanks to CEREC and e.max, the stress of restoring a tooth with a crown has been eliminated. Now the focus can be on what it should’ve been all along—giving you your best possible smile right when you need it.

To learn more about how Dr. Salivonchik can restore your tooth with CEREC, call our Coplay dental office today. Our office is located in Lehigh Valley and serves patients from Coplay, Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, The Poconos, and surrounding areas.
