Methods and systems for developing a dental bridge through computer-aided design are shown and described. With reference to an image of the volume to fill with the bridge, a proposed dental bridge is shaped to fit between teeth adjacent to the volume to fill while being contoured to a profile line specifying the gum contour and the contour of surfaces of the adjacent teeth to be bonded. Retainers of the proposed bridge are shaped and positioned to abut the adjacent teeth. The data specifying the proposed bridge may be delivered to a milling machine where a blank is milled into the corresponding bridge. The bridge may then be installed by bonding the retainers to the adjacent teeth.
