Get to Know

Dr. Shah

Dr. Shah has been a periodontist since 2018 and prides himself on being gentle and caring about his patients' comfort. He is detailed and thorough in his explanations of diagnosis and treatment, and loves to provide helpful and practical suggestions for ongoing oral hygiene.

Why Did You Decide to Become a Periodontist?

Gum health is often overlooked by patients and dentists alike, and that’s a main reason Dr. Shah wanted to become a periodontist.  Because many patients are better about caring for their teeth than caring for their gums, the perio niche is a unique place to educate patients on the oral microbiome and its relationship to one’s overall health. As a periodontist at Peak Vision Dental, his specialties are gum surgery, soft tissue grafts, bone grafts, tooth extractions, and dental implants.

Outside of the Dental Office, What Do You Like to Do?

Dr. Shah is all about spending time with his family and friends (many of whom are also in dental and other medical fields) and exercising and fitness.  If he didn’t become a periodontist, he would have been an environmental scientist, biologist, or clinical researcher - all areas he enjoys learning about in his spare time.

I’ve been to quite a few dentists and I have to say that Dr Kanter does the best work. Fast, accurate great dentistry! Crowns are made in house within an hour and fit perfect right out of the mold. Truly amazing! It’s how it should be.

I went in as a new patient emergency situation and after 3 hours of some of the best treatment I have ever experienced this is my dentist for sure

Outstanding job

Dr. Kanter has the best vibes, laid back and takes care of your teeth. The whole team is great and the office is relaxing.

I thought I should write a review of Dr. Kanter. I followed him over from Elevate Dental in November 2023 and am very pleased with his work. Dr. Kanter treated me with 3 dental implants at the same time. His high-tech equipment created permanent teeth that work and fit perfectly.

Now that Dr. Kanter is the new owner of, “Peak Vision Dental” I am transferring to his new office. I feel confident seeing the same Dentist with each visit. He is a very knowledgeable experienced Dentist, and I am very happy to find him!

Tori

Best dental office in the IE that I've experienced. Dr. Kanter is very kind, patient and gentle with all procedures he performs. Danielle and Casey are both wonderful hygienists they both take their time cleaning my teeth and teaching me new techniques. Krystal and the front office staff are warm and friendly, they do an amazing job with your insurance company to get the maximum benefit possible. I would 100% recommend Peak Vision Dental to all my family and friends!

Haley C.

My first visit at Peak Vision Dental. Dr. Kanter and Max did a very detailed dental exam after X-rays were taken. Dr. addressed some of my issues with TMJ/Jaw soreness and gave me a variety of treatment options to help. The highlight of my visit was the 3D scanner that was used to start the process of my ortho aligners

Lexi F.

The hygienist, Danielle is wonderful. I love getting my teeth cleaned by her. She is so gentle, kind and professional. I appreciate the upgraded equipment that Dr. Kanter is bringing to the office, like the X-Ray gun that makes getting them so much more comfortable than the traditional way. They also have digitally printed same-day crowns, which make life so much more convenient so I don't have to take multiple days off work for my dental procedures. This office truly cares about their patients.

Yazmin L

Fantastic experience! My smile is extremely important to me just as much as a Dentist with a phenomenal, honest and caring approach - which I receive from Dr. Kanter and his staff. Danielle made me smile so big with how thorough she was. It was time for cleaning and an exam. Exams are so important too! I have history of crowns and dental fills. They showed me my smile on the screen and we found a crack that I had no idea about. It made me feel like I made a great choice seeing Peak Vision Dental.

Lois P.

We are visiting the area from out of state. My husband had a dental emergency This practice was able to fit him in the same day! Almost immediately. The receptionist and dental assistance were very friendly and helpful. Putting us at ease. Dr. Matt Kanter was very professional and personable as well. He provided excellent service and advice. If we lived anywhere nearby we would both certainly hope to become full time patients of Dr Kanter.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a same-day crown?

 A same-day crown, also known as a CEREC crown, is a custom-made dental restoration that can be designed, fabricated, and placed in a single appointment. Using advanced digital technology, our Murrieta dental team can create a high-quality, natural-looking crown that fits your tooth perfectly.

How long does the process take?

The entire same-day crown process, from tooth preparation to final placement, can typically be completed in about 1-2 hours. This is a significant time savings compared to the traditional crown procedure, which often requires multiple appointments over several weeks.

Are same-day crowns as durable as traditional crowns?

Yes, same-day crowns made with CEREC technology are just as strong and long-lasting as traditional crowns. The ceramic materials used are highly durable and can provide many years of reliable function.

Are same-day crowns more expensive?

The cost of a same-day crown is generally comparable to a traditional crown. In some cases, the convenience and efficiency of the single-visit process may even result in a lower overall cost.

What is CEREC technology, and how does it make a crown a "same-day" procedure?

At Peak Vision Dental, we use CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) to craft same-day crowns with precision and speed. CEREC is a restorative approach that combines digital 3D imaging, computer-aided design (CAD), and onsite milling technology to create high-quality dental crowns in just one visit.

Rather than relying on traditional impressions and sending them to an offsite lab, Dr. Kanter captures a highly detailed digital scan of your tooth using a small intraoral camera. This image is used to design your crown virtually, which is then crafted from a solid block of ceramic right in the office.

The process is so advanced that your new crown can be completed, scanned, created, and placed, in a single appointment, typically within just 1-2 hours. It’s not just about speed, though, it’s about providing personalized, accurate treatment without sacrificing quality or comfort.

What are the main advantages of choosing a same-day CEREC crown over a traditional crown?

One of the biggest advantages of same-day crowns is efficiency without compromise. With a traditional crown, you typically need two appointments spaced over several weeks, including temporary crowns that may not fit well or feel secure. With a CEREC same-day crown, you can walk into Peak Vision Dental with a damaged or compromised tooth and walk out with a strong, permanent restoration, all in a single visit with Dr. Kanter.

Beyond convenience, there’s also precision. Digital scans eliminate the discomfort of messy impression trays, while the computer-aided process ensures a highly accurate fit. Since Dr. Kanter oversees every step of this process himself, you benefit from one-on-one attention and continuity of care, a hallmark of his anti-corporate, patient-first philosophy.

For many patients, this personalized approach also reduces the stress and time off work or school required by multiple dental visits. It’s thoughtful care that respects your time while delivering clinical excellence, and the results speak for themselves.

Are same-day CEREC crowns as durable and long-lasting as crowns made by an external lab?

Absolutely. CEREC crowns are milled from high-strength, medical-grade ceramic blocks that are every bit as durable as traditional lab-made crowns. In fact, many studies show that with proper care, same-day crowns can last just as long, often 10 to 15 years or more, depending on factors like oral hygiene, bite pressure, and overall dental health.

Dr. Kanter applies the same rigorous attention to detail that he honed during his service in the U.S. Navy. That military-standard precision ensures that your crown is not only aesthetically natural but properly aligned and securely bonded. 

So while you’re getting faster service, you’re not compromising on craftsmanship. Dr. Kanter stands behind the durability and function of each restoration he places, and his use of advanced technology ensures dependable results tailored to your unique anatomy.

Why choose a Temecula dentist for your same-day crowns?

Choosing a local dentist in the Temecula area for your same-day crowns means more than just convenience, it means forging a lasting, trusted relationship with a provider who truly values your long-term oral health. Dr. Kanter’s practice stands apart from large, corporate-owned dental chains by being independently owned and community-focused. 

That allows him to offer longer appointments, honest recommendations, and direct care every time you visit, not just a quick handoff to a different dentist or assistant. Patients from Temecula and the surrounding areas turn to Dr. Kanter not just for modern dentistry, but for the personalized experience they can’t get in high-volume clinics. 

Whether it’s your first crown or your fifth, you can expect compassionate care, state-of-the-art tools, and results that look and feel naturally yours. For residents looking for high-tech dentistry delivered with heart, choosing Dr. Kanter’s practice near Temecula, is a choice for experience, integrity, and real connection, every step of the way.
