July 30, 2012

At Dr. John Salivonchik’s Coplay dental office, we offer a wide range of great restorative dentistry services for patients to take advantage of. But for some patients, one service may be enough to completely restore your smile’s appearance or functionality. That’s why we also offer a service known as full-mouth reconstruction.

What Is Full-Mouth Reconstruction?

There’s no single answer to that question. Because every patient has different needs, each full-mouth reconstruction will be a little bit different. But regardless of the specifics of your treatment, each full-mouth reconstruction will combine a variety of general, cosmetic, and restorative services to create a beautiful and functional smile.

Your full-mouth reconstruction may utilize any one of the following services:

To complete your full-mouth reconstruction, Dr. Salivonchik will work closely with some of the best specialists in the Coplay area, all to ensure that you receive the absolute best care.

What Are Inlays and Onlays?

Often, when your dentist finds signs of tooth decay, a filling is the only treatment you need. In other cases, however, where decay is more extreme, a crown may be needed instead. But there are also in-between cases where a filling isn’t enough but a crown is too much. It’s in cases like these that dentists rely on inlays and onlays.

Inlays and onlays are milled, just like a crown, but instead of capping a tooth, they fit into a tooth the way a filling would. What’s more, because Dr. Salivonchik’s Coplay office features revolutionary CEREC technology, an entire inlay/onlay procedure can be completed in just a single visit.

Conservative Care with Inlays and Onlays

If Dr. Salivonchik has informed you that you need an inlay or an onlay, here’s what you can expect from your appointment.

First, Dr. Salivonchik will clean your tooth, removing any signs of decay or old fillings. Then, once that has been done and a digital impression has been taken, we’ll feed the information we’ve gathered to our CEREC machine. In just a short amount of time, our CEREC machine will mill your custom-made restoration while you rest comfortably in our office. Then, all that’s left is for Dr. Salivonchik to put your inlay or onlay in place, completing your procedure.

Do You Still Have Questions?

If you still have questions about how inlays or onlays can help you, call Dr. Salivonchik’s Coplay office to schedule a visit. Our office happily serves patients from Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, The Poconos, and beyond.

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

In our last post, we talked about Invisalign clear braces, one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry services available at Dr. Salivonchik’s Whitehall office. Today, we’ll highlight another great cosmetic dentistry service our patients can take advantage of—porcelain veneers.

The Difference Porcelain Veneers Can Make

If you’ve ever hid your smile because of flaws like cracks, chips, stains, or misalignment, then porcelain veneers may be just what you need to breathe new life into your smile.

Porcelain veneers, which are made from thin discs of high-quality dental porcelain, work by covering the front of front teeth, hiding imperfections in the process. They can be cared for just like natural teeth, with regular brushing and flossing. What’s more, because porcelain veneers can be custom-shaded, you can look forward to your porcelain veneers blending in with the rest of your smile.

Let Dr. Salivonchik Boost Your Smile and Your Confidence

Are you ready to see what kind of difference porcelain veneers can make in your life? Call Dr. Salivonchik’s Whitehall dental office to schedule an appointment. During your appointment, Dr. Salivonchik can talk to you about the porcelain veneers process and address any concerns you might have.

Let us help you revitalize your smile by calling us today. Our office serves patients from Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, The Poconos, and beyond.

Do I Need Dental Implants?

If you’re missing one or more teeth, or have grown frustrated with traditional dentures, you may be asking yourself this very question. Perhaps you’ve heard about the many great benefits of dental implants, and you’d like to take advantage of them. If so, don’t hesitate to get in touch with Dr. Salivonchik’s Whitehall dental office.

Dental implants are a great restorative dentistry option but they aren’t right for every patient. If they are right for you, though, Dr. Salivonchik can help. With our on-site periodontist and talented team, we can place and restore your dental implants right from our office.

What Makes Dental Implants Superior To Other Restorative Options?

The key difference between dental implants and another restorative dentistry option like traditional dentures, or a traditional crown and bridge is that dental implants replace both your missing tooth and your missing root.

That’s important.

Without your root, your jaw will atrophy, eventually causing further tooth loss. With a restored root, though, you can look forward to enjoy a strong, functional, natural bite once again.

Dr. Salivonchik’s Whitehall office is located in Lehigh Valley and serves patients from Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, The Poconos, and surrounding areas.
