Missing teeth in the anterior region negatively impacts the patient’s appearance and adversely affects the patient’s selfconfidence. Various treatment options such as removable partial dentures, fixed partial dentures and implants are available to rehabilitate such loss. In this case report, a zirconia based esthetic resin bonded bridge was fabricated to replace the missing right anterior tooth temporarily for a young patient till he achieves the age when he can get permanent replacement. The procedure was done with minimal tooth preparation and the outcome was esthetic with superior bonding with resin cement.
