A removable denture is a prosthesis which replaces the missing teeth and which the patient is able to remove it and put it back into the mouth on his own. Though it is the most economical way of replacing the missing teeth, many find it bulky and uncomfortable. A fixed denture is a prosthesis which replaces missing teeth and is fixed inside the mouth using the support of adjacent teeth so that it cannot be removed by the patient and behaves like the natural teeth.
