Disclosed is a method of virtually designing a reduced shape of at least one artificial tooth adapted to be inserted in a denture for a patient, where the artificial tooth is configured to be provided as a physical artificial tooth and as a corresponding virtual artificial tooth, where the artificial tooth is configured to have an original shape, and where the denture is configured to comprise physical artificial teeth and an artificial gingival, wherein the method comprises: obtaining a 3D digital representation of at least part of the patients oral cavity virtually designing the denture by virtually designing the artificial gingival and the placement of the artificial teeth in the artificial gingival based on the 3D digital representation of at least part of the patients oral cavity virtually designing a reduced shape of the artificial tooth virtually determining the part of the artificial tooth to be cut away by milling in a milling machine based on the difference between the original shape of the artificial tooth and the virtually designed reduced shape of the artificial tooth and where the physical artificial tooth is configured to be placed in a milling fixture, such that the arrangement of the physical artificial tooth relative to the milling fixture is known, whereby the determined part of the physical artificial tooth is configured to be cut away by milling in the milling machine, thereby obtaining a reduced physical artificial tooth.Linvention concerne une méthode de conception virtuelle dune forme réduite dau moins une dent artificielle prévue pour être insérée dans le dentier dun patient, la dent artificielle étant conçue pour être utilisée comme dent artificielle physique et comme dent artificielle virtuelle correspondante, la dent artificielle étant conçue pour avoir une forme originale et le dentier étant conçu pour comprendre des dents artificielles physiques et une gencive artificielle, la méthode consistant à : obtenir une représentation numérique
