Two more failed appointments followed before finally she was able to make it.
She was excited to get both her missing teeth replaced and she got them replaced after spending around 2 hours on my dental chair.

The two missing teeth was replaced by using fiber glass strand core than was bonded across the two adjacent teeth next to missing teeth area and composite resin were added layer by layer and sculpted to form the shape of correspond teeth.
And this is how her FRC bridge looks like after final polishing.
Yes, finally after 3 months from initial plan, her missing teeth was replaced and she happily left my clinic.
