✨ The best of the Pacific Northwest since 1953 ✨

For over 70 years, Nakanishi Dental Laboratory has been crafting restorations with precision, integrity, and heart.

What began as a small family lab in Washington has grown into one of the West Coast’s most trusted partners for clinicians — built on quality craftsmanship, innovation, and a legacy of care that spans three generations.

Because excellence isn’t just what we do — it’s who we are. 💙

Ever met someone who can run a business, plan a hike, and quote The Office in the same breath? 👀

Meet Megan Nakanishi 💫
Owner • Business Operations • Chief Vibes Officer

When she’s not bringing together the best people, tech, and products to serve the PNW dental community, she’s probably sipping wine after a hike, rewatching The Office, or blasting Christmas music way before December. 🎄✨

Her mantra? “Whether you think you can, or think you can’t — you’re right.”

✨ Tips for Successful Scanning ✨

A great scan starts long before the scanner — it starts with an ideal prep design. Here’s why that foundation matters 👇

👉 Useful for any restorative crown and bridge option and ideal for today’s milled restorations.

👉 Allows the lab technician to fabricate the crown to manufacturer’s minimum thickness requirements.

👉 Provides a smooth transition at the margin.

👉 Gives additional space for material to mask out dark underlying tooth structures.

👉 Allows extra space for the technician to layer material, creating more lifelike results.

What do you get when precision meets passion (and maybe a touch of Hogwarts magic)? ⚡️

Meet Kaila Nakanishi, CDT / — Owner & Head of Laboratory Operations.

She’s the mastermind behind keeping the lab running smoother than a perfectly glazed crown. 🦷✨

Her secret? Understanding every client’s needs before they even say it — and balancing it all with family life, great food, and the occasional Friends rerun.

From Harry Potter marathons to EDM-fueled lab days, Kaila proves that excellence isn’t just technical — it’s personal. 💪

Want to see the team bringing world-class craftsmanship to the PNW (and beyond)?
