Giving Patients in Allentown and Coplay Straighter Teeth with Invisalign Clear Braces

May 17, 2011

If you have crooked, widely spaced, or misaligned teeth, you may think traditional braces are the only way to fix your smile. But Dr. Salivonchik is giving patients of Allentown, Coplay and surrounding cities another choice—Invisalign clear braces.

FDA-approved and virtually invisible, Invisalign lets you straighten your teeth while also keeping your professional image intact. And because Invisalign aligners are removable, you don’t have to worry about changing your life or your eating habits to fit your braces. Instead, you can look forward to comfort and convenience as you improve your appearance.

Dental Implants

May 6, 2011

Dr. Salivonchik recently attended a course given by Dr. Dennis Tarnow from Columbia University. The seminar highlighted the very latest in dental implant therapy. He confirmed our existing protocol for immediate loading of dental implants ( coined by some as “teeth in an hour” or “ teeth in a day”). Dr. Tarnow also discussed cosmetic dentistry as it relates to dental implants. The course was sponsored by The University of Pennsylvania and Lehigh Valley Hospital in Allentown.

Supporting Cancer Research and Whitening Teeth with Dr. Salivonchik

April 26, 2011

Zachary was only three years old when he was diagnosed with leukemia. A bright-eyed, curious boy, his parents initially thought he had the flu. But instead of sending him home with medicine, his doctor admitted him to the hospital for two weeks of transfusions and chemotherapy. During that time, Zachary lost his hair, but he never lost that energetic spark that everyone loved about him.

Since then, life has calmed down for Zachary and his family. Doctor appointments and monthly chemotherapy treatments are still a part of his life, but he’s in remission now.

And for Dr. Salivonchik, he’s even become a source of inspiration.

Inspired by Zachary’s Struggle

When Dr. Salivonchik learned that one of his little patients had been diagnosed with leukemia, he wanted to help. But what could he do?

Digital X-Rays and Radiation Safety from Dr. Salivonchik

Dr. Salivonchik believes in using modern technology to provide safe, quality service to the residents of Allentown, and surrounding communities. And so, to help us meet our goal, we’re going back to school!

That’s right, this May, we’ll grow our knowledge through a continuing education course on the most recent developments in radiation safety. We believe there’s no better way to maintain a consistent level of exceptional service than by continuing to learn. Our office uses digital radiography, which uses less radiation than traditional X-rays, and we want to do everything we can to stay educated so that we can provide you with the safest options in preventive care.

Cosmetic Dentistry

I have worked with Dr. Salivonchik for eight years now and it still amazes me how a new smile changes peoples confidence and their self image. We recently finished a case for a middle aged women where we did porcelain veneers, porcelain crowns and teeth whitening. It not only made her look ten years younger but it clearly improved her confidence (prior to the work she covered her mouth to smile). When you think about it one of the first things people notice about you is your teeth.

We consider each patients needs and interest when helping them to make a change and enhance their appearance. We will take the time to work with you, whatever your needs and concerns are. Dr. Salivonchik is well trained in cosmetic dentistry and continues to take courses to keep up with the latest technology. I know you will be very pleased with your results
