A method for producing a dental prosthesis including the following steps. Production of an image of the front view of the patient's face in which the patient's mouth is open and the set of the patient's teeth being replaced is visible. Superimposition of the patient's teeth in the image of the patient's face by the digital photograph of a selected set of teeth by image processing software. Adaptation of the size and/or shape of the selected set of teeth in the photograph of the patient's mouth and/or face by the image processing software. Transmission of the obtained size and/or shape of the selected set of teeth to a CAD/CAM system. Selection in the CAD/CAM system of a three-dimensional set of teeth that corresponds to the selected set of teeth. Adaptation of the three-dimensional set of teeth in the CAD/CAM system based on the size and/or shape of the selected set of teeth determined in the photograph. Milling of the dental prosthesis out of a block of material based on the size and/or shape of the adapted three-dimensional set of teeth determined in the CAD/CAM system. A dental prosthesis can also be produced using such a method.
