Tissue replacement gingival prosthesis is a simple, noninvasive procedure employed to replace large volumes of lost soft tissue architecture while overcoming the pitfalls of surgical treatment modalities. A removable gingival prosthesis has a definite set of superior advantages compared to the extensive surgical treatment options or the employment of a fixed prosthesis. The removable gingival prosthesis helps to render an esthetically pleasing and functional restoration which is economical and less time-consuming for patients who report with large areas of esthetic and functional deficits. This case report highlights the fabrication of a light-weight design of removable gingival veneer to effectively mask the large area of tissue distortion whilst achieving superior esthetics.
