A dental prothesis configured to be placed in a gap between a first adjoining tooth and a second adjoining tooth so as to replace a missing tooth. The prothesis includes two partial abutments configured to sit within the gap between the two adjoining teeth. Secured to each partial abutment is a connector which is also secured to one of the adjoining teeth. Each connector is in a substantially C-shape configuration and adapted to fit along the surface of the associated adjoining tooth. The connectors have a plurality of connecting points that are adapted to fit within one of a plurality of retention grooves ground in the adjoining teeth to affix the connectors to the adjacent teeth with little grinding of the adjacent teeth. A crown is adapted to fit over and about the two partial abutments.
