Restoring labial fullness in a completely edentulous patient is a sensitive procedure. Correct communication between the dentist and the laboratory technician is essential to achieve what has been established clinically. There are clinical situations where the labial flange of the complete denture imparts poor facial aesthetics. Most of the cases usually are due to proclined maxillary anterior ridge. We present a unique case of an elderly female patient who, despite having a normal maxillary anterior ridge, could not tolerate labial denture flange in that region due to little labial vestibule space. The complete denture was modified to overcome the problem and a gum fit denture was prescribed.
