Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you are asking about full denture and partial denture , see full denture is complete denture after removal of all tooth in oral cavity , and partial denture is if partial tooth are present in oral cavity .
As your dentist has said that permanent fixed prosthesis can not be suitable for you have bone los , in bone loss condition removable prosthesis can be given so go for removable denture .
Hope this will help you.
