Increasing demand of smile design and improved esthetics is now well known in dental world. But the present lifestyle of everyone and of patients also, is busy, demanding, stressful, & overwhelming at times. Composite is a material which can be molded, and is of same colour as that of teeth. They are reversible fix for teeth, but can be left in the mouth for several weeks or months. While the composite mock-ups are in the mouth, the dentist can make adjustments to them as per patient?s choice. However, in smile design cases, the challenge is to meet patient?s demands and esthetic expectations simultaneously keeping in mind another important factor i.e. time. Composite mock up provides reversible &fast outcomes. This case report presents a case where the easy, fast composite mock up technique is used to provide a pleasing smile to patient within a matter of hours.
