Immediate chairside replacement of an extracted anterior tooth may contribute to a patient's comfort, treatment acceptance, and expectations of treatment; however, fabrication of a custom restoration in the anterior region of the mouth may result in an esthetic compromise for patients during the fabrication period. Chairside tooth replacement is an excellent application of fiber‐reinforced composite resin technology. This article presents an innovative, affordable chairside procedure in which Ribbond Multi‐Purpose Bondable Reinforcement Ribbon is used to replace a single extracted anterior tooth using the patient's own tooth.
