Overlay denture provides a relatively quick and simple management option for patients not willing to go for proposed treatment options and having economical barriers. This case report series elaborates the management of the cases of partially dentate arch with misaligned teeth in young women. It was a combination of overlay removable cast partial denture in maxillary arch and conventional removable cast partial denture in mandibular arch. Porcelain veneers were bonded to metal framework to improve esthetics in one case. The end result successfully met patient's demand of better retention of dentures, improved esthetics, and masticatory ability.
