Telescopic dentures, also called overdentures or double crown dentures, are designed to fit over prepared natural teeth or dental implants. They consist of two parts: a metal coping or primary crown, which fits snugly against the tooth or implant, and a secondary crown, which fits over the primary crown and holds the denture in place. This type of denture offers excellent stability and retention, making it more comfortable to wear and improves chewing ability.

Complete dentures are another type of removable dentures that use dental implants as supports.

Dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone to provide a stable foundation for dentures. The denture is then secured to the implant using special attachments or snaps. Complete dentures offer superior stability and can greatly improve the quality of life for people who have lost all of their teeth.

Removable denture restorations are used when the patient has some remaining teeth that can serve as anchors for the denture. The remaining teeth are prepared by removing some of the enamel, and then a denture is made with clips or attachments attached to the prepared teeth. This type of denture restoration provides stability and retention, ensuring a more secure fit and improved functionality.

Mandibular dentures, in particular, tend to be more challenging to wear due to the lack of natural suction that helps hold them in place. However, as dental technology has advanced, removable mandibular dentures have improved significantly over the years. Retractable dentures and implant-supported dentures are particularly beneficial for lower denture wearers, providing greater stability and reducing the risk of slippage or discomfort.
