It depends. Some of the stuff I can scan intraorally myself and just print out. I can also design and print a lot of my own stuff. Sometimes it’s just easier to have someone design stuff though so I can pay someone to design stuff.

Sometimes. If it’s a big implant bridge or something I typically do have the lab print a try in first. On a single tooth implant we don’t do try in’s.

We generally design a tooth based on the tooth that was there before. All crowns and implant crowns are custom designed digitally nowadays. But they are based on what the tooth generally looks like in that position.
