The study
The brief
A hybrid that reads as teeth emerging from tissue, with a tissue surface the patient can keep clean.
The approach
The base and teeth were milled from the approved set-up. Access channels and the intaglio were refined by hand before any colour was added.
The finish
Gingival tones are layered from deep to pale so the papillae carry light. Posterior teeth are glazed and anteriors hand-polished.
