Fast, Custom Crowns in a Single Visit

At Houston Prosthodontic Specialists, we offer CEREC same day crowns for patients in Memorial, Houston who want high-quality, durable restorations without the wait. Using advanced CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and manufacturing) technology, we create and place custom ceramic crowns in just one appointment—no temporary crowns, messy impressions, or second visits required.

CEREC crowns are made from strong, tooth-colored ceramic material that matches the look and feel of your natural teeth. They restore both function and aesthetics, making them ideal for damaged, worn, or decayed teeth that require full coverage.

When to Choose a Same Day Crown

CEREC crowns are a great solution if you’re experiencing:

  • Cracked or fractured teeth

  • Large cavities that can’t be treated with a filling

  • Worn or weakened teeth due to grinding

  • Cosmetic concerns like discoloration or uneven shape

  • Replacement of an old or failing crown

The entire process—from digital scanning to crown placement—takes just a few hours, allowing you to leave the office with a fully restored smile.

The CEREC Crown Process

  1. Digital Scan: We begin by capturing a precise 3D image of your tooth using a digital scanner—no traditional impressions needed.

  2. Design and Fabrication: Our team designs your custom crown using advanced software. The data is sent to our in-house milling machine to craft your ceramic crown on-site.

  3. Fitting and Placement: Once ready, your crown is tried in, adjusted as needed, and permanently bonded—all during the same visit.

  4. Final Polish and Bite Check: We ensure the crown feels comfortable and functions naturally, so you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
