Unknown to many Patients and Dentists in the UK, there are actually alternatives to dental implants. Especially if you have lost quite a few teeth over the years and for some time you have to put up with a simple acrylic denture which is uncomfortable and loose. Telescopic double crowns have been around for many years and mainly produced in Germany. 
The correct provision of telescopic crown restorations is part of the dental curriculum in Germany. Some UK dentists have discovered the benefit’s of telescopic restorations so they are becoming more popular in the UK.
The fee for a telescopic denture depends on it’s design and location but is in general less than for a comparable dental implant restoration.
