ABOUT PRISTINE

Dental design experience.
Applied to your workflow.

Pristine Dental Design is built on 15+ years of hands-on dental CAD/CAM experience, with a focus on restorative detail and the practical needs of laboratories and digital practices.

THE EXPERIENCE BEHIND PRISTINE

Louie Rivera
Founder & Lead CAD/CAM Designer

A practiced eye.
A practical understanding.

An extension of your lab’s internal design team—from routine overflow to difficult restorative cases.

A prescription, a scan, and a deadline only tell part of the story. The design also needs to reflect the lab’s preferred anatomy, contacts, occlusion, materials, and manufacturing process.

Louie’s approach connects design aesthetics with real laboratory production: anatomy, contacts, occlusion, material constraints, QC, revisions, and the preferences that make a design work for your team. Expectations are agreed early, and unclear inputs become a conversation before they become assumptions.

HOW WE WORK

A practical design relationship.

Preferences first

Establish the design parameters before the first case and refine them through review.

Questions raised early

Clarify incomplete records or conflicting instructions before they become design assumptions.

Capacity by agreement

Build a repeatable workflow and realistic delivery expectations before increasing volume.

Let the first case
start the conversation.

Review the anatomy, technical details, and handoff against your own standards. A defined test case gives both teams a useful starting point.
