| Summary: | Complex implant prosthetic reconstruction poses several challenges. The lost anatomy of periodontium due to trauma or long-standing missing teeth, especially in esthetic area, requires several surgical visits for recovery. The augmentation procedures are technique sensitive and unpredictable and need long commitment from the patient. They are time-consuming and expensive, and patients are often unwilling. The alternative for anatomically deficient partial edentulous sites could be prosthetic gingival restoration. They help in re-establishing natural contours, interproximal papilla, and further eliminating complex procedures. The other advantage is perfect horizontal and vertical transition between the prosthesis and adjacent tissues. This article describes two cases of completed gingival prosthetic prosthesis which corrected the missing architectures around lost teeth. It was well accepted by the patients and can be an alternative for unpredictable regenerative procedures.
