Gingival (gums) Prosthesis

A gingival prosthesis replaces missing anatomy of the gums.  A person may want to improve their smile because they have gum recession or large black holes due to surgery or gum disease.   The prosthesis is made from a thin, flexible and comfortable silicone that sits on the gums via suction and mechanical retention.

The Anaplastologist works together with your Dentist, Prosthodontist, or Periodontist to fabricate the gingival prosthesis.
