Design work

Bridge design

Bridges, where most of the work is in how the units behave together. Contacts, pontic contours, connector dimensions and occlusion all have to agree with each other.

Anterior design over a scan.

What I design

  • Multi-unit tooth-supported restorations
  • Pontic form and tissue relationship
  • Connector dimensions and material space
  • Consistent anatomy across the restoration
  • Implant-supported bridge design

What to send

  • Prepared scan with clear margins
  • Opposing arch and bite
  • Material and connector requirements
  • Implant positions if the bridge is implant-supported

Connectors set the material you can use.

Send the material with the case. Connector dimensions follow from it, and a bridge drawn for zirconia cannot be re-specified in something weaker without redrawing it.
