Pasadena, Texas Dentist Dr. Nugent has invested int he best technology for his patients and practice. CEREC is an amazing technology that allows Dr. Nugent to start and complete a crown all in one visit!
CEREC
The CEREC technology was developed at Zurich University and has been successfully used in dental practices around the world since 1985. Long term clinical studies show that CEREC crowns are equivalent (if not better) then laboratory made crowns.
CEREC Treatment:
- No gagging, gooey, foul tasting impressions in your mouth for six minutes! The CEREC uses a 3D measuring camera to scan the prepared tooth, opposite teeth and your bite. This eliminates the unpleasant impression.
- No temporary crowns! You don’t have to walk around with a plastic temporary tooth for two weeks. You don’t have to come back for a second appointment to put on your laboratory crown. No more emergency visits to the dentist because you broke your plastic temporary.
- No long waiting periods! Laboratory made crowns can take between two to three weeks to be made and returned to the office. With CEREC you are finished the same day with a beautiful porcelain restoration that is extremely durable.
CEREC Procedure:
- Dr. Nugent completely numbs the patient. The decayed tooth tissue or defective filling is removed. A 3D image of the tooth is captured onto the computer.
