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.

The Same-Day Crowns Process
Preparation
We'll start by carefully preparing your tooth, carefully removing any decay or damaged areas to create a clean, healthy foundation for your new crown.
Digital Impression
Using our advanced CEREC technology, we'll take a highly accurate digital impression of your prepared tooth, eliminating the need for goopy impressions.
Design & Fabrication
Dr. Kanter will then design your custom crown on our chairside computer, and the CEREC machine will precisely mill your new restoration from a block of high-quality ceramic material.
Placement
Once your crown is ready, Dr. Kanter will carefully place and secure it, making any necessary adjustments to ensure a comfortable fit and bite. You'll leave our office with a beautifully restored tooth that same day.
FAQ
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.
