Can I have a gum augmentation when I have a denture already?

Q.
I had an upper denture made and I don’t have enough gum line therefore, it looks like I don’t have any teeth unless I grin like a possum. My question is, can you have gum line to an already made denture?

Thank you,

A.
Not normally…i think you’re talking about an augmentation of your bone to build it up? This is a complex surgical procedure involving bone grafting and almost certainky you’d need to have a new denture or even set of dentures made following the procedure
