Since Dr Salivonchik began utilizing dental lasers in his practice, he’s witnessed some dramatic results and improvements in patients’ experiences. For example, this includes improved soft tissue healing from gum procedures and more comfortable treatment, often without the drill or Novocaine.
Unfortunately, Dr Salivonchik has also seen some very exaggerated claims online, like suggestions of never having to use the drill or Novocaine. Such claims are untrue. There are many times when minimal use of drills is still required and so is the use of Novocaine. This doesn’t negate the usefulness of lasers, but it does negate the credibility of manufactures or practitioners who make these claims.

Located in Lehigh Valley, the practice serves patients from Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, The Poconos, and surrounding areas.

Detecting and treating cavities is one of the most important services a dentist can provide. But even if traditional poking and prodding have been effective for spotting decay in the past, these methods can’t always spot trouble where it likes to hide—whether along fissure lines or inside biting and occlusal surfaces.
Bruxism and TMJ dysfunction often go hand-in-hand. Both are uncomfortable and can seriously damage your smile, just as they can both be treated with oral appliance therapy.
