3D-printed dental restorations replace the traditional impression-and-lab workflow with a digital one. We take a 3D intraoral scan of the prepared tooth, design the restoration in software, and print the final restoration in our on-site SprintRay lab — all in one appointment for many cases. The result is same-day delivery of crowns, inlays, onlays, and other restorations that would normally require two appointments and a 2-to-3-week lab wait.
Suncoast runs the technology at a level usually reserved for academic and specialist practices. Dr. Byron Larsen is a SprintRay key opinion leader and lecturer — meaning he trains other dentists in the technology and contributes to clinical research with the manufacturer. The practice uses SprintRay's full ecosystem for crowns, inlays, onlays, surgical guides for implant placement, provisional restorations, and digital denture work. SprintRay has detailed technical information on the system.
Same-day 3D printing isn't right for every case. Complex aesthetic restorations on visible front teeth sometimes still benefit from a master ceramist's hand at a traditional lab — we'll tell you when that's the case. For posterior crowns, inlays, onlays, and most everyday restorative work, the same-day digital workflow is comparable to or better than traditional lab work, at a fraction of the patient-time investment. The same workflow drives our in-house 3D-printing lab for dentures, surgical guides, and night guards.
Most same-day restorations complete in a single appointment of about 2 to 3 hours total.
A 3D scan of the prepared tooth and surrounding teeth. Faster, more comfortable, and more accurate than traditional putty impressions.
The restoration is designed in CAD software, taking into account your bite, the adjacent teeth, and the material being used. The design typically takes 30 minutes.
The restoration is printed in our on-site SprintRay lab in resin or ceramic material as appropriate, then post-processed and polished. Printing time is typically 30 to 60 minutes.
The final restoration is checked for fit, color, and bite, then bonded into place. Final adjustments at the same appointment. You leave with the permanent restoration completed.
Same-day porcelain and resin crowns for damaged teeth, including posteriors.
RestorativeMulti-tooth restorations designed and printed in coordination with traditional lab work where needed.
ImplantsCustom surgical guides designed from CBCT and 3D-printed in-house for precise implant placement.
