Crowns, bridges, dentures, surgical guides, and night guards — designed digitally and 3D-printed in our practice on a SprintRay system. Dr. Larsen is a SprintRay Key Opinion Leader and lecturer, which means we're not just users of the platform but actively involved in evaluating new materials and workflows with the manufacturer.

A SprintRay 3D-printing lab is a complete digital-to-physical pipeline for dental restorations. We design a restoration in CAD software based on a digital scan of your tooth, send the design to the printer, and produce the final piece on-site — usually within an hour for a single crown. The traditional alternative is sending a putty impression off to an external lab and waiting two weeks for the restoration to come back.
What we produce in our lab: same-day single-tooth crowns including posterior crowns where strength matters most; surgical guides for implant placement with CBCT-precise positioning; denture prototypes and finals; night guards and sports guards; provisional restorations during longer treatment plans; and 3D-printed bridges for select cases.
Dr. Larsen's role as a SprintRay Key Opinion Leader means active involvement in evaluating new printer materials and workflows with the manufacturer — including lecturing for SprintRay at dental industry events. For patients, this translates to access to validated improvements as they're released, and the confidence that our protocols are clinically current.
For a single-tooth crown, this entire sequence typically happens in one appointment.
Intraoral scanner captures a 3D model of your tooth (or the surgical area), adjacent teeth, and bite — a few minutes, no putty.
Restoration designed digitally to match anatomy, bite contact, and contours. The dentist reviews and refines before printing.
Design sent to the printer. Print time for a single crown is typically under an hour. Post-print cleaning and curing finishes the piece.
The restoration is polished and characterized for natural appearance — color shading and texture matched to surrounding teeth.
Restoration tried in, adjusted as needed for bite and contacts, and cemented or bonded permanently.
