Most dental crowns take two appointments and a few uncomfortable weeks in between. At Lake Ellyn Dental, ours don’t. CEREC technology lets our team design, mill, and place your custom crown in a single sitting, so you leave with the real thing, not a placeholder standing in until your next visit.
Our restorative dentist near Wheaton is hands-on with every crown from start to finish, checking fit and color before anything’s permanent. Nothing about the process feels rushed, even though the timeline is faster.

milled right in our office.
A same-day crown isn’t a rushed version of the real thing, it’s just a smarter way to get there. Dr. Kelsey Esposito still takes the time to get the fit, shade, and bite exactly right, she just doesn’t need two appointments to do it. Here’s where the benefits really show up:
Traditional crowns leave you with a temporary that can crack, fall off, or feel off for weeks. CEREC crowns skip that step entirely.
There’s no second appointment to schedule, no second round of numbing, and no waiting on a lab to send your crown back.
Digital scanning captures your tooth with more accuracy than a physical impression ever could, so the fit is right the first time.
Your crown is milled from a solid block of durable ceramic, not a placeholder meant to hold you over.
Getting a dental crown done here doesn’t mean bouncing between appointments or waiting on a lab. Everything happens in-house, usually in a single afternoon. Our Glen Ellyn dentist stays involved from the first scan through the final fit, so the details never leave our hands. Take a look at how the process comes together:
A digital scanner captures every detail of your tooth in minutes, replacing the need for messy, old-fashioned impressions.
Our restorative dentist shapes your crown using that scan, fine-tuning the size and contours until it matches your natural bite.
Our in-office CEREC machine carves your crown from a solid block of ceramic while you relax in the chair.
After checking the color, shape, and fit against your smile, Dr. Esposito bonds your new ceramic crown into place for good.
Cost depends on the tooth involved and what your treatment plan calls for. We’ll walk through pricing clearly before anything’s decided, so there’s nothing to guess at.
Yes. We match shade and shape closely enough that a front-tooth crown blends right in with the teeth around it, and most patients can’t pick it out at all.
Call us right away, even if it’s not painful. We do our best to see cracked or loose crowns the same day, since a gap in coverage can lead to bigger problems fast.
With regular care, a crown can last 10 to 15 years or more. Good habits and routine checkups go a long way toward extending that.
Same-day crowns mean one visit instead of two. The technology makes things easier; the feel of your visit stays exactly the same.
Nothing replaces what you were born with, not even the best restoration. We're here to help you keep your teeth healthy for life.
We take time to explain what's happening and answer every question. You'll leave each visit feeling informed, not processed.
A cracked or worn tooth doesn’t have to slow you down for weeks. At Lake Ellyn Dental, you’ll get a custom ceramic crown, placed and finished the same day, by a Glen Ellyn dentist who doesn’t rush a single step. Come see the difference in person.
