Dental Crowns in Wheaton, IL
A dental crown is one of the most reliable ways to restore a damaged tooth to its full strength and beauty. At 20/32 Dental Co. in Wheaton, IL, Dr. de la Fuente offers both traditional porcelain crowns and same-day CEREC crowns so you can choose the option that best fits your schedule and needs. We provide crowns for patients from Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Carol Stream, and across DuPage County.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over the entire visible portion of a tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are crafted from durable materials like porcelain, ceramic, or zirconia and are color-matched to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Crowns serve both functional and cosmetic purposes. They protect weakened teeth from fracturing, restore teeth after root canal therapy, cover large fillings, support dental bridges, and dramatically improve the appearance of misshapen or severely discolored teeth.
Same-Day CEREC Crowns
One of the biggest advantages of choosing 20/32 Dental Co. for your crown is our CEREC CAD/CAM technology. Instead of waiting weeks for a lab-fabricated crown and wearing a temporary in the meantime, we can design, mill, and place a permanent ceramic crown in a single appointment.
How It Works
Dr. de la Fuente takes a precise 3D digital scan of your tooth — no messy impression trays needed. The crown is designed on-screen and milled from a solid block of high-quality ceramic right in our office. The finished crown is bonded to your tooth the same day.
Benefits of Same-Day Crowns
No temporary crown, no second appointment, no waiting. You leave our Wheaton office with a final, permanent restoration that is strong, natural-looking, and precisely fitted.
When You May Need a Crown
After a Root Canal
A tooth that has undergone root canal therapy is more brittle and needs a crown to protect it from fracturing.
Large Cavities or Broken Teeth
When a cavity is too large for a filling to support, or a tooth has broken significantly, a crown provides the structural reinforcement needed.
Cosmetic Enhancement
Crowns can dramatically improve the appearance of severely discolored, misshapen, or worn-down teeth, giving you a more uniform, attractive smile.
