Not at all
A dental bridge can be noticeable, but modern dental technology and materials have made it possible to create bridges that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The goal of a dental bridge is to replace one or more missing teeth, and it is typically composed of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) that are anchored in place by adjacent natural teeth or dental implants.
The visibility of a dental bridge can depend on several factors, such as the location of the bridge in your mouth, the size and shape of the politics, and the color and translucency of the materials used to create the bridge. In general, bridges that are placed in the front of the mouth are more visible than those placed in the back, but with proper design and placement, a bridge can blend in well with your natural teeth and gums.
Some common materials used for dental bridges include porcelain, ceramic, and zirconia, which can be customized to match the color and appearance of your natural teeth. Additionally, your dentist will take great care to ensure that your bridge fits comfortably and securely in your mouth and that your bite is properly aligned.

Usually not if the color/shade of the bridge is well matched to the adjacent teeth. Dr. Totonchi
If done properly, it should not be noticeable.
It can be more noticeable if there is significant bone defect or recessed gums. Then additional procedures would be needed to make it look natural.
In the esthetic zone, it becomes even more important to properly match the shade, chroma and hue with the natural dentition which requires skill and can be challenging at times.
