Can phantom sensations or phantom pain occur in missing parts of the gums also?

No. But pain is very subjective.

If the gums are missing than your teeth have no protection at the gum line. Your tooth material called DENTIN is now subject to sensation from hot and cold fluids and objects. This is not phantom pain but real sensation. See your dentist for treatment.
