When several teeth are missing, a telescopic denture can be a high-quality way of incorporating your remaining teeth into a removable restoration.
The special principle lies in two precisely matched components.
How does the telescopic principle work?
Suitable remaining teeth are fitted with so-called primary crowns.
The removable denture contains matching secondary crowns. When the denture is inserted, the two components slide into each other and provide a secure hold.
From the outside, the restoration then looks like a complete row of teeth.
Advantages
The denture can be taken out for cleaning, yet sits firmly anchored in the mouth in a clearly defined way.
A further advantage is that your remaining teeth can be strategically integrated into the restoration.
What happens if a tooth is lost later on?
Depending on its design, a telescopic restoration can in some cases be adjusted or extended.
This can be an important advantage, especially when only a few natural teeth remain.
Whether a telescopic denture, an implant-supported restoration or another concept is more suitable is something we decide after examining your individual situation.
