ZirCAD Shade Delivers
Not everyone wants an implant. So, bridges are still very much in the mix of dentistry, and should not be forgotten. This was a case where the patient just wanted the space to be filled in and not change his overall appearance. In other words, he wanted what he had, but with a tooth…

Squigglies: Upper and Lower Primescan Hybrids with Imetric at Implant Pathway

Overlay or V Prep?
Basically, we are doing “high water” crowns. Meaning: the margins are kept high and dry, while only going cervically when necessary.
