Partial dentures are designed for those client with one or more teeth missing, but not fully edentulous. Partial dentures are usually more secure that full dentures, since they are physically held in place by clasps designed to fit over the natural teeth. 

Partials can be constructed in acrylic or with metal framework. There are a number of factors that influence the type of partial design that would be appropriate and should be discussed with your Denturist.
