The Old Way vs. the Kali Dental Way
A traditional crown means two or three appointments, a goopy impression, and weeks of a temporary crown. Ours doesn't.
A traditional crown
What most offices still do
- Bite down on a tray of putty so a mold can be sent to an outside lab
- Leave with a plastic temporary crown that can loosen or break
- Wait for the lab to make your crown and ship it back
- Come back, get numbed a second time, and have the final crown placed
- More time off work and more trips across town
A same-day crown
Designed and milled in our Huntington Beach office
- A quick digital scan of your tooth. No putty, no gagging
- Your crown is designed on screen and color-matched to your teeth
- It's milled on site from a solid block of tooth-colored ceramic
- Dr. Kalvin fits and bonds it the same day. One numbing, one visit
- You walk out with your permanent crown, not a temporary

Common Reasons Patients Need a Crown
A crown covers and protects a tooth that's too damaged for a filling alone. You may need one if you have:
- A cracked or broken tooth, or one that hurts when you bite
- A large old filling that's breaking down
- A tooth that recently had a root canal
- A worn, weak, or badly discolored tooth
- An old crown that's loose, chipped, or leaking
No pressure, ever. Dr. Kalvin shows you what he sees and explains your options before any work begins. If a filling will do the job, he'll tell you. He never recommends treatment you don't need.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a same-day crown as good as a lab-made crown?
Yes. Same-day crowns are milled from a solid block of high-strength, tooth-colored ceramic and custom-designed to your bite. With good home care and regular checkups, they're built to last for many years, just like a traditional crown. The difference is that you don't wear a temporary or come back for a second appointment.
How long does a same-day crown appointment take?
Everything happens in one appointment: the exam, digital scan, design, milling, and bonding. The exact time depends on the tooth. We'll give you an estimate when you book, so you can plan your day.
Are you accepting new patients?
Yes. Kali Dental is welcoming new patients of all ages. Book online in about a minute, or call (657) 800-5254.
Does insurance cover a crown?
Most PPO plans cover part of the cost of a crown when it's needed to restore a damaged tooth. We'll verify your benefits and tell you your estimated cost before treatment. We accept most PPO plans and AARP Medicare Advantage plans through Aetna, Humana, and UnitedHealthcare. We're not in-network with HMO plans or Denti-Cal / Medi-Cal.
What if I don't have dental insurance?
No problem. We offer an in-house savings plan, flexible payment options, and new patient specials, including a $150 cleaning special and a $100 emergency exam with X-rays. We also accept cash and credit cards.
Are you open on Saturdays or after work?
Yes. We're open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9am to 6pm, and Saturdays from 8am to 2pm by appointment. We're closed Thursday and Sunday.
Can you see me today if I have a broken tooth?
We offer same-day emergency exams and do our best to fit in patients in pain. Call (657) 800-5254 and we'll tell you how soon we can see you. In many cases a broken tooth can be restored with a same-day crown.
