\"\"<\/a>Thanks to a great cosmetic<\/a> or restorative<\/a> dentistry service, you\u2019re enjoying better oral health than you have in a long time. What\u2019s more, you gain a sense of confidence you didn\u2019t used to have. Maybe you had one or more teeth replaced with dental implants<\/a> or you had a tooth capped with a CEREC crown<\/a>. Whatever your case, there\u2019s one question on your mind now, and it\u2019s an important: how can I make it last?<\/p>\n

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?<\/p>\n

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\u2019ve had all your teeth replaced with dental implants, but it\u2019s true. After all, your smile is still vulnerable to common problems like gum disease, oral cancer, TMJ dysfunction, and more.<\/p>\n

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<\/a>. Regular visits are a key part of maintaining great oral health.<\/p>\n

Do you need to schedule your next visit? Call<\/a> Dr. Salivonchik\u2019s<\/strong> Coplay dental office<\/a> today to reserve your appointment. We serve patients from all around the Lehigh Valley<\/strong> area, including Allentown<\/strong>, Bethlehem<\/strong>, Easton<\/strong>, The Poconos<\/strong>, and beyond<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
