Successful dental care involves the patient and the doctor working as a team with the doctor discussing options with patients and the patient choosing the treatment that works best for them. If the doctor and patient work together to have a plan for preventive and proactive care, the patient can look forward to a lifetime of healthy teeth and healthy smiles. Having family members who have dealt with the debilitating pain of TMJ/TMD problems, as well as having lost family members to the complications associated with obstructive sleep apnea, Dr. Steve has focused on these two critical areas where medicine and dentistry overlap and so many are in need of help.

My mission in dentistry is to serve as a source of information for my patients so they can make informed choices about the treatment they feel is best for them. I am committed to helping patients realize that their mouths and their teeth do not exist in a vacuum. Todays research is clear that disease in the mouth can negatively affect the entire body and vice versa. I want to erase the idea that dentistry is separate from medicine and help people realize that they need a healthy mouth to have a healthy body. When dentistry is viewed as a part of the greater whole of healthcare, dentistry can save lives and change lives. I focus on the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea and snoring with dental appliances as well as the treatment of craniofacial pain disorders, headaches, migraines, and TMJ/TMD. Tens of millions of Americans suffer from these disorders, often needlessly, due to the lack of access and availability of dentists expert in treating these conditions. At Lasting Smiles, we are committed to providing the most comprehensive and highest quality treatment in a compassionate and caring setting.

Upon completion, Dr. Steve will be one of the few dentists in the country to have dual Board Certification in dental sleep medicine.

Dr. Sulzbach is a member of the Board of Craniofacial Dental Sleep Medicine, the Academy of Craniofacial Pain, the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, the International College of Craniomandibular Orthopedics, and the International Association of Physiologic Aesthetics.

When I was in 9th grade, I decided I wanted to be a dental assistant. Growing up in a family with medical needs, I have always had the desire to take care of people. I have had my fair share of dental treatment but have never had a fear of the dentist. My career allows me to be a comfort to people with fear or anxiety. Most people fear the dentist, not the assistant. I always offer a hand to hold and an ear to listen. I love the trust people have in me when overcoming their fears. July of 2020 was my 20th year as a dental assistant and I couldnt imagine doing anything else.

I was suffering for multiple days with tooth pain. Multiple providers wouldn't take me in but Lasting smile took me same day. The front desk, dental assistants and Dr Patel were extremely welcoming and warm. Highly recommended.

I enjoy the moral, professionalism and flow of the staff - Cori leads the way and when it comes time to pay the bill, it's great to deal with a New York personality and sense of humor at the front desk

Dr Steve had been gone since April This business is run by an absentee owner who hires contract dentists. You go in for regular cleaning and when cleaning is finished you are the told the dentist is only in on Wed and friday? I should have been told that prior to the cleaning. Needless to say I won't be coming.

Been to this place about 3-4 for follow up fillings. They did fillings for the teeth which had deep cavities and needed immediate root canal. Of course I wouldn't know this, they should have known. After 2 months things got worse and a sharp pain started on the same tooth. I came to them for a consultation and they mentioned that I needed a root canal and recommended a few root canal specialists and were not ready to prescribe any medicine for the horrible pain, (cuz I was pregnant and in my 1st trimester). I can't believe they asked me to wait till I enter 2nd trimester for the root canal consult. I went with a different dentist and they took care of it immediately. I am never ever going to this place! Worst dental clinic I have ever visited.

After 4 visits at Lasting Smiles of Bethlehem I am completely comfortable keeping office visits. The work Dr. Steve and his staff have done was top notch. My teeth feel and look so much better and although dental work isn't at all enjoyable, they do their best to minimize or eliminate my discomfort and always check to make sure I'm ok. I highly recommend this office.
