\"\"<\/a>Since Dr Salivonchik<\/a> began utilizing dental lasers<\/a> in his practice, he\u2019s witnessed some dramatic results and improvements in patients\u2019 experiences. For example, this includes improved soft tissue healing from gum procedures and more comfortable treatment, often without the drill or Novocaine.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Dr Salivonchik<\/strong> has also seen some very exaggerated claims online, like suggestions of never having to use the drill or Novocaine.\u00a0 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\u2019t negate the usefulness of lasers, but it does negate the credibility of manufactures or practitioners who make these claims.<\/p>\n

For more information on the use of laser dentistry<\/strong> and how it can be used in your dental treatment, click here<\/a> or call Dr Salivonchik\u2019s Whitehall practice<\/a> on (610) 502-1545.
\nLocated in Lehigh Valley<\/strong>, the practice serves patients from Allentown<\/strong>, Bethlehem<\/strong>, Easton<\/strong>, The Poconos<\/strong>, and surrounding areas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
