Overview

A bridge is designed as one object. We look at span, connector height and the path of insertion together, and for longer spans we send a design preview so you can approve it before the disc is cut.

Anterior bridges can be cut back and layered so each unit carries its own translucency. Posterior bridges are usually finished monolithically.

Process

  1. Design. Span, connectors and pontic form are designed together and sent for approval where needed.

  2. Make. The bridge is milled in one piece and sintered on a programme matched to the span.

  3. Finish. Monolithic work is stained and glazed. Layered work is built and fired by hand.

  4. Check. Passive fit is verified on the model before dispatch.
