A unitary dental device constructed from a suitable thermoplastic or thermosetting material allowing the dental device to be heat molded by a dental practitioner sitting chair side to a patient. The dental device includes a single-piece, shell-like analog having the appearance of contoured, individual teeth. The dental device may also include a pair of posterior tooth extensions in order to create a custom buccal corridor specifically adapted for the patient. A connection bridge uniformly joins the proximal contact areas intermediate of adjacent teeth to form the unitary shell-like analog. The dental device may be temporarily affixed in the patient's mouth to allow both the patient and the dental practitioner to preview chair side the look of a final smile design with a fully-fabricated dental prosthesis. Once the patient and dentist are satisfied with the particular tooth selection and characterization, the dental prosthesis can be fabricated from the dental device.
