For eligible teeth, we can scan, design, mill, fire, stain, glaze, and seat a ceramic crown in-house.

We Are The Lab
Most of the digital dentistry happens right here.
Astra Dental is built with the kind of in-house lab setup most patients never see: CBCT imaging, intraoral scanning, facial scanning, exocad design, SprintRay printing, VHF milling, and ceramic ovens. For the right cases, that means we can design and make same-day crowns, final restorations, stronger provisionals, printed guides, implant teeth, models, and ceramic restorations without waiting weeks for every lab step.
CBCT Facial scans exocad SprintRay VHF milling Ceramic ovens
Broken front tooth, missing tooth, loose restoration, or fractured crown? The lab gives us more ways to stabilize, repair, or prototype a solution quickly.
CBCT, scans, exocad, and SprintRay printing help us plan surgical guides, implant provisionals, final tooth contours, and tooth shapes before surgery starts.
We can digitally design and print prototypes so patients can preview tooth shape, length, and smile balance before bigger treatment.
Porcelain ovens let us process zirconia, e.max, and lithium disilicate with custom stain, glaze, contour, and shade control.
Contacts, bite, fit, contours, and shade can be refined with Dr. Sran and the clinical team while the case is still in the office.
The Technology Stack
The equipment behind the in-house lab.
CBCT 3D Imaging
Used for implant planning, surgical evaluation, root position, bone levels, infections, sinuses, and anatomy that cannot be fully understood from a flat X-ray alone.
Digital & Facial Scanners
Intraoral scans replace many traditional impressions. Facial scans help connect the bite and smile to the lips, face, and esthetic plan.
exocad Design Software
Used to design crowns, final restorations, implant teeth, guides, models, provisionals, and cosmetic mockups before anything is milled or printed.
SprintRay 3D Printers
Used for printed models, surgical guides, prototypes, provisionals, and planning pieces that help the case move from idea to reality.
VHF Milling Machines
Used to mill crowns and ceramic restorations from digital designs, keeping more of the fit, contact, bite, and shape process in-office.
Porcelain & Ceramic Ovens
Used to crystallize, sinter, stain, glaze, and finish materials such as zirconia, e.max, and lithium disilicate.
Ceramic Restorations
Same-day does not mean one-size-fits-all dentistry.
A molar that takes heavy bite force is different from a front tooth that needs beautiful translucency. Astra Dental can work with zirconia, e.max, lithium disilicate, and porcelain workflows so the material is chosen around the tooth, the bite, and the final smile.

Chairside Review
Scans, X-rays, and photos are reviewed with you.
Every treatment room has a screen so Dr. Sran can walk through findings, show the plan, and explain why a same-day crown, repair, implant step, or alternative option makes sense.
