Hi, I’m Craig May

Owner of Montana Dental Lab.

For more than two decades, I’ve worked closely with dentists to help them deliver restorations that fit right, look natural, and keep patients happy.

During that time, one thing has become very clear: most crown failures are completely preventable. They usually happen because of small breakdowns in communication, case submission details, or clinical workflow between the dental practice and the lab.

That’s exactly why we created this guide.

At Montana Dental Lab, we’ve partnered with hundreds of dental practices and reviewed thousands of cases. Through that experience, we’ve identified the most common issues that lead to remakes, delays, and patient dissatisfaction.

Our goal isn’t just to fabricate crowns and become a true partner to your practice by helping you:

• Reduce costly crown remakes
• Improve communication with your lab
• Deliver restorations that fit properly the first time
• Save chair time and improve patient experience
• Build more predictable restorative outcomes

We believe that when dentists and labs work together as partners, the results are better for everyone, especially your patients.
