Same-Day Crowns

 in Murrieta, CA

 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
