Making Dental Work Last

August 10, 2012

Filed under: Restorative Dentistry — Tags: , , , , , , , — S. John salivonchik @ 1:56 pm

Thanks to a great cosmetic or restorative dentistry service, you’re enjoying better oral health than you have in a long time. What’s more, you gain a sense of confidence you didn’t used to have. Maybe you had one or more teeth replaced with dental implants or you had a tooth capped with a CEREC crown. Whatever your case, there’s one question on your mind now, and it’s an important: how can I make it last?

After all, a cosmetic or restorative service like one of these is an investment. And as with any investment, you want to protect it. So how can you do that?

Often, the best way is through regular exams and cleanings, in addition to brushing and flossing at home. That may come as a surprise, especially if you’ve had all your teeth replaced with dental implants, but it’s true. After all, your smile is still vulnerable to common problems like gum disease, oral cancer, TMJ dysfunction, and more.

Our best advice for you, then, is to treat your restored smile the way you would if it were your natural smile. Brush at least twice a day, floss at least once, and rinse with an effective mouthwash. Be sure you also stay in touch with Dr. Salivonchik. Regular visits are a key part of maintaining great oral health.

Do you need to schedule your next visit? Call Dr. Salivonchik’s Coplay dental office today to reserve your appointment. We serve patients from all around the Lehigh Valley area, including Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, The Poconos, and beyond.

At Dr. John Salivonchik’s Coplay dental office, we want to provide dental care that will improve our patients’ quality of life and self-confidence, and one way we’re doing that is through partial or full dentures. What millions of Americans have already discovered is that partial or full dentures can give someone who is missing one or more teeth a new lease on life by restoring their smile’s functionality, which makes eating and speaking easier, and their appearance.

A Variety of Options to Treat Your Specific Needs

Because not every patient has the same needs, denture patients from the Coplay area will find that we offer both partial and full dentures, in addition to offering implant-supported dentures. This ensures that we’re able to need the denture needs of those in our community, regardless of which type our patients might need.

And which type do you need?

If you only need to replace a couple of teeth, you might already know the answer to that. But if you have missing teeth and several of your remaining teeth have begun to weaken, the answer may not be quite as easy. Which is why we always recommend that patients considering dentures come to our Coplay dental office for a consultation appointment. During a consultation, Dr. Salivonchik can talk to you about your needs and explain your options, in addition to answering any questions you might have about our denture options.

Are you ready to restore your smile? Call us today. Our Coplay dental office is located in Lehigh Valley and serves patients from Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, The Poconos, and beyond.

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.

If you’d like to find out more about any of the services we use for full-mouth reconstruction procedure, click on the links above. We also invite you to call our Coplay dental office today to schedule a consultation visit with Dr. Salivonchik. Consultation appointments are important, as they give Dr. Salivonchik and our team the opportunity to get to know your smile and its needs.

What Can Invisalign Do for Me?

The short answer to the question, “What can Invisalign do for me?” is “A lot.” If you’ve ever worried that straightening your smile would mean giving up your professional image, Invisalign can put your fears to rest. With Invisalign, you can finally have the improved smile, the improved confidence, and the improved lifestyle you’ve dreamed of.

Straightening Smiles with Invisalign

Invisalign uses a series of custom-made acrylic aligners to gradually move teeth into their ideal alignment. You’ll wear each pair for about two weeks until you’ve completed your treatment.

Because Invisalign uses clear trays to straighten teeth instead of brackets and wires, you can look forward to straightening your smile without drawing attention to your braces. Most people won’t even know you’re wearing them.

But what sets Invisalign apart even more from other orthodontic solutions is that Invisalign’s aligners are removable. That means you can remove them for special events – like an important meeting or night out with friends – or for regular brushing and flossing. By removing them to brush and floss, you can ensure that your teeth get the thorough cleansing they deserve. With bracket-and-wire braces, on the other hand, it can be difficult to really give teeth the care they need to stay healthy, resulting in unintended cavities.

Are You Ready To Learn More?

If you’d like to learn more about how Dr. Salivonchik can help you transform your smile with Invisalign, call our office today to schedule a consultation appointment. We’d be happy to answer any questions you might have, in addition to explaining treatment more thoroughly. Call us today if you live in and around the Lehigh Valley area.

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.

Want to learn more about how dental implants can help you transform your smile? Visit the dental implants page on our website, and call us if you have any questions or would like to set up an appointment. Dr. Salivonchik’s Whitehall office is located in Lehigh Valley and serves patients from Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, The Poconos, and surrounding areas.
