Dr. Jerry Dunn, Irving's CEREC Provider

CEREC, a technology for restoring damaged teeth, can be completed in a single visit to Advanced Dental Care of Las Colinas. It makes your teeth stronger and more beautiful — all while keeping your teeth looking natural. The restoration is metal-free and the high-grade ceramic material is compatible with the natural tissue found in your mouth. This is the finest restorative material available today, all in one appointment.

The CEREC Process

First, Dr. Jerry Dunn will meet with you to discuss the details of the procedure. During the procedure, Dr. Dunn will apply a thin layer of reflective powder onto your tooth and will use a special camera to take a photo of your tooth. Using Computer Aided Design, the photo serves as an optimal impression. The restoration will then be designed by the computer on this impression. Then CEREC will use a diamond bur and disk to create your restoration piece out of a high tech ceramic. Finally, the ceramic restoration is bonded to your tooth using state-of-the-art adhesive dentistry.

Dr. Dunn is your local CEREC dentist for single-visit tooth restorations in Irvine, Las Colinas and surrounding communities. Call us today at (972) 506-9688 to make an appointment.

Happy Wednesday, and we hope you're having a GREAT summer!

"Hey, Dr. Dunn! What can you tell me about sedation dentistry?"

While Irving dentist Dr. Jerry Dunn and our team at Advanced Dental Care of Las Colinas strive to offer a comfortable experience for all our patients, we realize that fear or anxiety while visiting the dentist can affect a lot of patients anyway. For patients who need that extra comfort and relaxation during their visit with Dr. Dunn, we are pleased to offer sedation dentistry.

The reasons for patients' fear of the dentist can be numerous, but are usually due to a traumatic experience during their childhood. This overwhelming anxiety can cause one to avoid modern dental care, resulting in poor oral hygiene, tooth decay and even gum disease.

There are, however, some important things about sedation dentistry that Dr. Dunn wants you to know about:

- Sedation dentistry is not the same as being unconscious: you will be responsive and conscious throughout the entire procedure, but in a deeply relaxed state of mind.

- Because the sedation takes some time to wear off completely, it's crucial for you to have a friend or family member who can give you a ride to and from our office.

If you suffer from dental phobia, sedation dentistry may be the answer for you. At our convenient Irving office, we use state-of-the-art and effective technology. Please give us a call at (972) 506-9688 for more info about sedation industry, and we'll be more than happy to answer your questions.

To help us continue doing that through the course of the summer, however, we'd really like your input: What would you like us to focus on our blog in the coming months? What would you like to know about the always-changing and exciting field of dentistry? Perhaps there’s something you’ve wanted to ask Dr. Dunn for a while? Let us know by posting here or on our Facebook page!
