On-Site One-Hour Crown Lab Access

Precision crowns, completed in a single visit.

With Smile312’s on-site digital milling lab, we create and place your custom crown during the same appointment. No waiting weeks. No temporaries. Just precise, same-day results crafted for long-lasting strength and natural beauty.

01

Digital Tooth Scan

We start by capturing a highly accurate 3D scan of your tooth using advanced digital imaging technology. This ensures the new crown will fit perfectly and align seamlessly with your bite.

02

Custom Crown Design

Next, our in-office lab team designs your crown digitally, taking into account the shape, color, and contours of your surrounding teeth for a natural, seamless look.

03

Milling & Finishing

Your crown is milled right in our office using state-of-the-art equipment. It is then carefully polished and refined to ensure comfort, strength, and a lifelike appearance.

04

Same-Day Placement

Finally, your custom crown is placed in just one visit. No temporary crowns, no waiting weeks—just a durable, beautiful restoration that lets you leave our office smiling confidently.
