Rahul Das, a 42-year-old accountant, had always been self-conscious about his smile since losing a molar in a childhood accident. The gap on his lower left side made him hesitant to laugh openly in client meetings. Over the years, the adjacent teeth had begun to tilt, causing occasional food impaction and mild discomfort. His dentist, Dr. Sharma, recommended a three-unit porcelain-fused-to-metal bridge to restore function and aesthetics. The casting process involved two visits: the first for preparing the abutment teeth and taking precise impressions, which Rahul found slightly uncomfortable but manageable. The temporary bridge felt odd but protected the prepared teeth. Two weeks later, the permanent, custom-cast bridge was cemented. The recovery was swift, with only minor sensitivity to cold for a few days. Emotionally, Rahul transformed from feeling incomplete and professionally self-conscious to confident and relieved. He now smiles freely, his chewing efficiency restored, and he no longer worries about the hidden gap.
