Can I get a partial with no back teeth?

I am a 39 year old male. I wonder if I can get a partial denture with no back teeth?

Yes you can as long as you have enough healthy teeth towards the front of your mouth for the partial to grab on.

Likely, yes but the fewer back teeth present the more likely the chances for tipping or movement in the partial denture while in use. Also, if the Partial relies on weaker front teeth to stay in place then those teeth are likely to be compromised over time.
Yes. Partial denture can replace teeth in all parts of your oral cavity.
