Cosmetic Dental Care Services Near Allentown

 

Have you been considering a cosmetic change for your smile? Cosmetic dentistry is both a science and an art. In other words, crafting a pleasing smile takes a professional with years of experience, an eye for esthetics, and a strong attention to detail. As an experienced cosmetic dentist, Dr. Salivonchik considers the tooth shape, size, and color for each of his cosmetic dentistry patients. By doing that, he can ensure that the results of each smile makeover complement each patient’s facial features and dimensions. The best smiles look genuine—never overdone or unnatural.

Dr. Salivonchik’s dental office was one of the first practices in the Allentown and Lehigh Valley area to deliver leading-edge cosmetic dentistry. To this day, we continue to lead the way with custom solutions to suit each patient’s personal preferences and goals. No matter which service he’s providing, Dr. Salivonchik ensures a comfortable fit and impeccable finish. Our cosmetic dentistry services include:

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are extremely thin ceramic restorations that are designed to fit over the front of the teeth. They’re made to look exactly like pristine white enamel, and once in place, they can fix/mask a wide variety of cosmetic imperfections at the same time, including stains, chips, cracks, gaps, and even slightly crooked teeth. In just two appointments, you can get a custom-made set of veneers that completely transforms your smile and revitalizes your confidence.

Metal-Free Restorations

For patients in need of dental repair, we’re able to offer more than traditional gold/silver restorations. To renew teeth that show prominently in the smile, Dr. Salivonchik can use dental porcelain to create restorations that resemble real enamel in every way imaginable. This material looks, feels, functions, and even reflects light just like natural teeth, making it a seamless addition to any smile. This is the kind of dental work that looks nothing like dental work!

Direct Bonding

Tired of that one discolored spot, chipped tooth, or thin gap throwing off the entire appearance of your smile? For a quick and conservative fix for small problems, Dr. Salivonchik can place composite resin directly onto any damaged or missing enamel. He can then shape it to perfectly blend with the tooth and hide any blemish. The procedure is 100% painless and usually just takes an hour, making it one of the most convenient services we offer.

At-Home Teeth Whitening

Whether your dental stains are due to coffee, wine, tobacco, aging, or just unlucky genetics, Dr. Salivonchik can help you dramatically brighten your teeth whenever and wherever you want. He can provide you with a custom-made set of mouth trays as well as a bleaching gel that is more concentrated than anything you can buy on your own. Just use our kit for an hour a day for a week or so, and your teeth can be 6-8 shades whiter!

Straightening your teeth can dramatically improve both the health and appearance of your smile, and now, you don’t have to suffer through metal braces to do it. Invisalign practically disappears within the mouth and has a discreet look that friends and coworkers will never notice. How does it work? Invisalign uses a progressive series of clear plastic aligner trays to gently and efficiently shift the teeth, and you can even take them off whenever you need to eat or brush.

Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs

Is Cosmetic Dentistry Expensive?

Many people associate cosmetic dentistry with being very costly, but this isn’t necessarily the case. It likely gets it pricy reputation from the fact that dental insurance rarely covers cosmetic treatments, so you typically have to pay out of pocket. Improving your smile may seem costly at first, but it’s important to consider the investment you are making in your self-esteem, confidence, and quality of life.

What Causes the Discoloration of a Tooth?

There are multiple different factors that can contribute to discoloration of the teeth. Here are some of the most common culprits:

  • Foods and Beverages: Certain foods and drinks can move into the outer layers of the tooth structure and stain the teeth. Some common ones include tomato sauces, red wine, tea, coffee, and chocolate.
  • Tobacco: Smoking cigarettes and chewing tobacco can cause tooth discoloration. According to clinical research, there is a higher prevalence of tooth discoloration in smokers than in nonsmokers.
  • Age: As one gets older, the teeth naturally become more brittle, allowing for attaining and yellowing.
  • Injury: If the root of a tooth becomes damaged, it’s possible for the tooth to darken.
  • Antibiotics: According to the Food and Drug Administration, there is a link between taking tetracycline antibiotics as a child and permanent tooth discoloration.

Are There Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures That Are Suitable for Children or Teenagers?

There are many reasons why children and adolescents may want to improve the appearance of their smiles. Depending on the child’s age and the developmental stage of their teeth and dental arches, some cosmetic procedures may be suitable. For instance, if a child’s front teeth are fractured due to an injury, dental bonding may be a great way to improve their appearance. If your child or teen is concerned about the appearance of their smile, schedule an appointment with their dentist. They will suggest the most appropriate action based on your child’s age, oral condition, and goals they have for their smile.

Why Is Cosmetic Dentistry So Popular?

For most of the history of dentist, the focus was to prevent and treat dental issues. In the last few decades, modern techniques and technology as well as increased knowledge of oral health in the general population has led to the average person having better dental health. With more people having healthy smiles, more people are choosing to focus on the appearance of their smiles. These services have also become more affordable over the years, so they aren’t solely reserved for the wealthy and famous.
