The average lifespan of telescopic prostheses
Since telescopic prostheses belong to the "removable dentures" category, there is always an increased risk that something unpredictable can happen compared to "fixed dentures". The nice job can be done when cleaning e.g. fall into the sink. It doesn’t break completely, but the veneers on the telescopes could chip off. Apart from such difficult situations, the average life expectancy of a well-made telescopic prosthesis is around 5 to 20 years or longer.
