The study
The brief
A full arch restored as three bridges so each segment can be seated and adjusted on its own.
The approach
Segment breaks were planned in the design and the contacts between segments were refined on the printed model.
The finish
Occlusal anatomy is kept crisp and the stain is confined to the fissures.

The materials
01
Multilayer zirconia
Zirconia
A graded disc that moves from a warmer cervical body to a lighter, more translucent incisal edge, so monolithic work reads naturally without layering.

Printed resin
Printed resin
Model, guide and splint resins printed in-house from intraoral scans, so every digital case can still be checked on something you can hold.
