The invention is directed to a method for creating a teeth model comprising: providing a virtual three dimensional (3D) representation of a patient's dentition that comprises a region of the teeth that includes a tooth stump on which a crown is to be fitted or a region on to which a bridge is to be fitted, wherein the virtual three dimensional (3D) representation comprises information for the upper and lower jaw and their spatial relationship in occlusion; and based on information from said virtual 3D representation, generating a 3D model of a crown to be fitted on said tooth stump or of a bridge to be fitted on said region.
