Partial Denture- It is ordered by patients who have some of the teeth lost and some remaining in a healthy state in both upper and lower teeth sets but have difficulty in chewing. This has a pink plastic base connected to a metal piece that secures the denture in place.

Overdenture- It is removable and sits on the gums with dental implants.
