Why Choose Us for Dental Crowns?
Dental Crowns
Dreaming of a confident smile that feels natural? At Dr. Kathy Zahedi DDS & Associates, we specialize in creating perfect dental crowns tailored just for you. Our expert team in Santa Monica offers a variety of custom crown options that not only enhance your smile but also restore the function of your teeth.
What are same-day dental crowns?
Same-day dental crowns, also known as chairside or one-visit crowns, utilize advanced technology to create and place a dental crown in a single appointment. This innovative process eliminates the need for traditional methods that involve multiple visits and temporary crowns. The procedure typically involves computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology.
During the appointment, a dentist uses a digital scanner to create a 3D image of the tooth requiring the crown. The CAD software then designs the crown, and the CAM technology mills it from a solid block of dental material, such as ceramic or composite resin. Once fabricated, the crown is immediately placed onto the prepared tooth. Same-day dental crowns offer convenience, efficiency, and aesthetic appeal, making them a popular choice for patients seeking a time-saving solution for restoring damaged or weakened teeth.
When should you consider dental crowns?
Dental crowns are a versatile solution for various dental issues. Consider them in the following situations:
- Severe Tooth Decay: When a tooth has extensive decay that can’t be fixed with a filling.
- Fractured or Cracked Teeth: Crowns provide strength and support for significantly damaged teeth.
- Large Fillings: For teeth with large fillings, crowns offer added stability.
- Root Canal Treatment: Crowns protect and strengthen teeth after root canal therapy.
- Cosmetic Enhancements: Crowns improve the appearance of misshapen, discolored, or poorly sized teeth.
- Support for Dental Bridges: Crowns act as anchors for dental bridges to replace missing teeth.
- Protecting Weak Teeth: Crowns prevent further damage to weakened teeth.
We will assess your dental condition to determine if a crown is the appropriate treatment.
What are the benefits of same-day dental crowns?
Same-day dental crowns offer several advantages:
- Time Efficiency: The entire procedure is completed in a single visit, saving time and reducing the need for multiple appointments.
- Convenience: Eliminates the need for temporary crowns and the waiting period of traditional crowns.
- Immediate Restoration: Provides instant restoration of damaged teeth, addressing both functional and aesthetic concerns immediately.
- Digital Precision: Utilizes CAD/CAM technology for precise and accurate crown fabrication.
- Minimized Discomfort: Fewer appointments and no temporary crowns result in less discomfort.
- Single Anesthetic Application: Only one application of anesthesia is needed, enhancing comfort.
- Customization: Crowns are custom-matched to the natural color and shape of existing teeth for a seamless result.

It's always a pleasure to go to Dr. Kathy Zahedi,s office. The staff is super great and Dr. Zahedi is amazing. Today I had her work on my crowns and the procedure was painless, I didn’t even feel the needle or the removal of the crowns. I was completely comfortable. Dr. Kathy and her dental assistants asked me many times during the procedure if I was comfortable.
I would recommend Dr. Kathy Zahedi, and her staff to any one that asked me.
Five star plus ⭐️
This is a painless soothing veneer experience. Kathy is indeed exceptional on getting the job done. I have always dream of having big natural smiles and I am thankful I went to her. I am currently getting my veneer done and I love the job Kathy does on my teeth. And I also love the facility and people there for offering a great service. They are so patient so kind and happy there. It’s an incredible experience. I highly recommend Kathy on your veneers. Thank you!! 🌷❤️
I have had the best best best experience with Dr. Zahedi and her team. I visited her after another dentist’s experience caused some major anxiety and fear. She has met me where I’m at emotionally with the deepest empathy, care, and respect. She listens to me, spends time with me, and makes sure I leave her office feeling better than when I arrived. She is like your most caring best friend, your favorite auntie, and the mother you wish you had. She has texted me on her days off to find out how I’m doing and feeling. I will never go to anyone else for my dental needs.
