His process significantly cuts down the time required to create dental prosthetics compared to traditional methods. Gibson collaborates with Remote Area Medical, a nonprofit that offers free healthcare services, to extend their dental care offerings. His work has already transformed the lives of multiple patients, giving them what he describes as meaningful 'mirror moments'. Gibson's initiative is now growing, with plans to help even more underserved individuals in need of dental prosthetics.
