Dr. Nugent can make beautiful cosmetic all porcelain crowns that look and feel great.
Dr. Nugent has the best and most advanced technology. He has invested in CEREC technology. This technology allows Dr. Nugent the ability to create dental crowns in one visit!

What is CEREC?
CEREC is an advanced technology that allows Dr. Nugent to design, create and complete a new crown in a single visit. The CEREC system consists of an digital camera that acquires a digital impressions of the teeth, a computer to design the crown, and a milling unit where the crown is actually cut from of a block of porcelain.
Why One-Visit Dental Crowns are Superior
When it comes to dental restorations, patients are looking for efficient, long-lasting, and comfortable solutions. At Michael Nugent DDS, we use advanced technology to deliver exactly that. One of the standout services we offer is CEREC crowns—a modern approach to restoring damaged teeth in just a single visit. But what makes CEREC crowns superior, and why are they so popular among patients?
1. What is a CEREC Crown?
CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, and it represents a cutting-edge system for creating dental crowns right in the office. Traditionally, getting a dental crown involved multiple visits, messy impressions, and temporary crowns. However, the CEREC system uses 3D imaging and computer-assisted design (CAD/CAM) to craft a customized crown in just one visit.
CEREC crowns are made from high-quality ceramic material, designed to match the natural color and shape of your teeth, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution. The process is fast, precise, and eliminates the need for temporary crowns or long wait times.
2. Why One-Visit Dental Crowns are Superior
Gone are the days when patients had to wait weeks to get their permanent crown after multiple dental visits. CEREC technology allows us to restore your tooth in just one visit, offering several key benefits:
- Convenience: With one-visit crowns, you only need to take time off work or arrange for childcare once. This makes the process more convenient for busy patients.
- Immediate Results: There’s no need to wait for a dental lab to create your crown. With CEREC, the entire process is completed on-site, saving you valuable time.
- No Temporary Crowns: Traditional crowns often require a temporary plastic crown while you wait for the permanent one. Temporary crowns can be uncomfortable and prone to dislodging. With CEREC, you leave the office with your final crown in place.
3. No Messy Impressions
One of the most uncomfortable aspects of traditional dental crowns is the need for messy, goopy impressions of your teeth. With CEREC, this step is eliminated. Instead of using physical molds, the CEREC system takes digital impressions using a high-precision intraoral camera. This is faster, cleaner, and much more comfortable for the patient. Digital scans are also more accurate, ensuring your crown fits perfectly without the need for adjustments.
4. No Second Visit, No Temporary Crown
With traditional crowns, patients often need a temporary plastic crown to cover the tooth while waiting for the permanent one to be fabricated at a dental lab. This means you must be extra cautious about what you eat and do during that time to avoid damaging or losing the temporary crown.
CEREC crowns, however, eliminate the need for a second visit and a temporary crown entirely. In just one appointment, your tooth is prepared, the crown is designed, milled, and placed—giving you a permanent solution in a matter of hours. This means no dealing with temporary materials or the risk of complications between visits.
The CEREC system revolutionizes the way dental crowns are done. At Michael Nugent DDS, we pride ourselves on offering one-visit crowns that are quicker, more comfortable, and longer-lasting than traditional methods. With no messy impressions, no temporary crowns, and no second visits, CEREC crowns provide a superior solution for patients who want efficient and effective dental care.
