Depends if in different parts of the same jaw or contiguous
Recommend fixed rather than removable teeth like implants whence possible

Well the fewest teeth I like to place a partial on is four. One bicuspid and canine on each side. Occasionally I’ve only had two canines to anchor in to successfully. However any fewer than three or four teeth is risky.
