In this case series, the esthetics of a maxillary complete denture were enhanced using various shades of gingival composite resin, a flangeless maxillary denture with a diastema was fabricated, and a case of maxillary and mandibular sectionally characterized dentures.
On 6 months follow-up, all the characterized dentures showed good function and esthetics. Characterizing denture bases is an art, and fulfilling a patient’s esthetic need should be prioritized during treatment planning.
