Why is teeth whitening so popular with patients today? It’s popular because a white smile sends a positive message to others and helps you feel more confident. Don’t let stains caused by age, tobacco use, or the foods and drinks you consume keep you from sharing your smile with friends and family.
At Dr. Salivonchik’s Coplay dental office, we can supply you with custom-made whitening trays and a special whitening gel. In just a matter of days, you’ll see the stains on your teeth disappear as your whiter smile emerges.

Millions of Americans experience TMJ disorder. TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint. These joints are located underneath the ears and help us open and close our mouths smoothly.
Pain occurs when one or both of these joints malfunction. What causes them to malfunction? That can vary. Sometimes it’s physical or emotional stress, but a misaligned bite or an injury can also contribute. Other symptoms of TMJ disorder include:
A jaw that pops or clicks
Bruxism (teeth grinding)
Inability to fully open or close the mouth
Chronic earaches

In our last post, we talked about how important treating gum disease is—and not just for your oral health. As we noted, gum disease raises your risk of developing a wide range of health problems, including high blood pressure, pulmonary hypertension, pancreatic cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, and more.
Some patients might be anxious about seeking care for gum disease, but gum disease therapy doesn’t have to be uncomfortable.

Aided by a diode laser, Dr. Salivonchik can comfortably remove bacteria from above and below the gum line and encourage tooth reattachment, all...
When you think about the effects of gum disease, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Perhaps it’s noticing blood on your toothbrush or floss, unexplained sensitivity or even tooth loss. While it’s true that periodontal disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in American adults, this common condition can actually impact your health in a number of other ways as well. At the office of Dr. S. John Salivonchik in Coplay, PA, we use advanced laser dentistry to protect our patients from the variety of complications associated with gum disease.

Among the many tools that are improving dental care, CEREC CAD/CAM technology is one of the most notable. In the past, it would take at least two visits to restore a patient’s decayed or fractured tooth with a crown. But now, with CEREC CAD/CAM, it’s possible to create and attach a custom-made crown in just one appointment.
That’s good news for our Coplay-area patients. With a single appointment, Dr. Salivonchik can improve both the appearance and functionality of your smile.
Speed is just one part of the equation, though. Also important is the material the crown is made of.
Dr. Salivonchik uses durable, esthetic e.max porcelain to create strong, natural-looking restorations. The...(Read More)
