It is flexible and pink, and it snaps between the teeth to cover the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mynewsmile.com\/cosmetic\/black_triangles.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">black triangles<\/a> left by severely receded gums. It&#8217;s usually made out of silicone, but I&#8217;ve heard some labs talk about making it out of soft denture liner material such as Molloplast. <\/p>\n<p>A lot of dental labs make these, so I thought you&#8217;d have several choices, but then I looked up Mount Shasta and I see that you&#8217;re in a relatively remote area of northern California. So I can see where you would have problems maybe finding a lab that would make this.<\/p>\n<p>In other parts of the country, you may want to consider Glidewell Dental Lab in Newport Beach, California, where they are used to shipping cases all over the country. They are fairly familiar with gingival masks. While just about any dental lab that makes dentures would be able to make one of these, if you have to explain to the technician what a gingival mask is, that wouldn&#8217;t inspire you with confidence. That won&#8217;t happen with Glidewell.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks,<br \/>\n&#8211; Dr. Hall<\/p>\n<p>Question and answer go here.<\/p>\n<p>Do you have a comment or a question or anything else to add?
