A partial denture usually replaces several, but not all the teeth on the upper or lower jaw and is removable. They can be made of all acrylic and flexible or have small wire clasps to help hold onto remaining teeth in the mouth.

Another type of partial uses a cast metal framework under the acrylic and fits very precisely around healthy and sound remaining teeth.
