| Since
1985, Gregory Gion has developed nearly 1000 individual prostheses
for patients referred to his Dallas based private practice in
anaplastology.
Mr. Gion
is respected as being among the very best in this specialized
field -- one which demands patient sensitivity, and a love
for accuracy and the aesthetic detail that is necessary for
the best possible visual result: convincing naturalism.
Each
meticulously created restoration is individually designed,
with patient options in its design and in its method of retention.
Each is painstakingly produced with great artistry, and always
to exacting technical standards in the handling of contemporary
biomaterials.
