A partial denture is a prosthetic that you place in your mouth to replace the function and appearance of missing teeth. It is usually made of metal and plastic. It is removable and requires cleaning at least daily. It is held in place by clasps that attach to the remaining natural teeth. It will occasionally need to be adjusted by your dentist to fit properly.
