Two crowns on 2 implants were made by another
dentist.
The gum healed with no papilla between them. This is a

between all other teeth.
2)
Pink composite resin was carved
to look like a papilla. You are seeing the internal surface.
This gets turned over and placed between the crowns.

and for speaking.
