Partial Dentures:
Partial dentures are indicated if some serviceable teeth are present for support in conjunction with the gums and jawbone. A partial denture, though removable, provides form and functional replacement for missing teeth.

Full Dentures:
Full dentures are used if there are not any teeth left for support. The full denture covers more of the jaw than does a partial denture, and is partly held in place by a natural vacuum in the mouth.
