Do you ever feel self-conscious while smiling due to exposing your gums along with it? Maybe you have a receded gumline or other uneven edges that inappropriately expose too much of your teeth. Don’t worry—you’re not alone, and the answer doesn’t lie within the boundaries of surgery: A gingival mask will be the solution.

What Is a Gingival Mask?

A gingival mask is a type of prosthesis that is made custom and is soft in nature, its main function is to cover up receded areas of the gums or malformed areas. This type of pseudo for the gums showcases aesthetics that are balanced with the smile’s proportion. In terms of how it would feel, envision a gum prosthetic that more easier to put on since it is blended to look like your natural gum.

Why Would You Need a Gingival Mask?

Envision this scenario, you are at a family function together and someone decides to take pictures at random, after the pictures have all been taken you realize that your teeth look abnormally long or your gums are strangely shaped. These feelings are upsetting, but thankfully, a gingival mask is able to fix that problem for you.

Aging and periodontal diseases or even harsh brushing are some of the key causes of gum recession. A gum graft is one of the solutions, however, due to being extremely traumatic they do require a lot of time to recover. An increasing result without having to go through a traumatic experience alongside excessive recovery would be a gingival mask, as they are a better option.
