The loss of teeth invariably is followed by the loss of soft tissue. This article elaborates the process of Andrews bridge fabrication for missing 31,32,33,41,42,43 with natural teeth as abutments for its fixed component and a soft liner based removable component. There are many recent advances in aesthetic dentistry techniques and materials, still certain cases remain difficult to restore. Main advantage of an Andrews's bridge over fixed prosthesis is that it can be removed by the patient for improved oral hygiene access.
