Dental Implants Pasadena, Texas:
Advanced dentistry starts with advanced knowledge and technology. Dr. Nugent is one of a few General Dentists nationwide that have a Cone Beam 3-D x-ray machine. This technology allows for more accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Guided Implant Surgery:
Guided implant surgery is amazing. BEFORE the patient comes in for their dental implant Dr. Nugent knows exactly where the implant is going. As a patient, wouldn’t you want an easier more precise surgery? Dr. Nugent uses an advanced Cone Beam 3-D x-ray and computer technology to do the surgery on the computer. Then Dr. Nugent orders a custom surgical guide that allows him to place the implant exactly where he planed it.
Once the patient is completely numb, Dr. Nugent inserts the surgical guide. The surgical guide is like a football mouthpiece that fits securely onto the remaining teeth. Where the implant is to be placed there is a metal circle that prevents Dr. Nugent from going in at the wrong angle. Now it is simply a matter of going in sequence and drilling bone to allow for the dental implant placement.
Using technology to deliver predictable implant dentistry is awesome.
