“Can you get partial dentures for back teeth?”
I am a 50 year old male. I want to know if you can get partial dentures for back teeth?

Absolutely, assuming you have the room. A better option might be implants.
Usually, as long as the teeth that support the partial are periodontally stable.
Of course. That’s why it’s called a partial denture. It can replace 1 to many teeth anywhere in the arch.
Absolutely. It depends on how much space between the upper and lower jaws and smoothness of bone. This as well as design should best be determined by a dentist.
Yes, you can.
It is not advisable not to replace the crown that was lost for several reasons. 1) Since the prepped tooth no longer has enamel, it is very vulnerable to decay, which may lead to a root canal or tooth loss. 2) There will be shifting/drifting of adjacent teeth, and super eruption of opposing teeth. All these factors will interfere with your occlusion (bite), which can cause issues with your joint (TMJ).
Yes, you can get partial dentures for posterior teeth. You should consult with a dentist and have the X-rays taken for treatment planning.
Yes
