Metal-framework and Valplast partial dentures · Replacing missing teeth.

A removable partial denture replaces one or more teeth and can be taken out for cleaning. At Horizon Center in Casablanca, Dr Houda Agunaou assesses your situation and explains the available options, including metal-framework and Valplast partial dentures. The consultation is an opportunity to discuss comfort, appearance and the skills needed to use your appliance.

Two designs,
a denture suited to you.

From the general concept to a plan suited to you.

01

A metal-framework partial denture

This partial denture uses a metal framework, generally cobalt-chromium, to support replacement teeth. Rests and clasps help retain it. Its design takes account of the remaining teeth and the spaces to replace. This option is often called a stellite in French.

02

Valplast: a flexible resin

Valplast is a brand of nylon-based thermoplastic resin used for flexible partial dentures. Retentive elements can be gum-coloured. This option requires appropriate case selection; flexibility does not mean it suits every mouth.

03

Compare before choosing

Ask about differences in design, the visibility of attachments and cleaning. Discuss whether modification or repair could be possible if your situation changes. The choice should suit your mouth and needs, rather than being based only on the appliance’s appearance.

YOUR TREATMENT JOURNEY

A full assessment,
clearly explained steps.

Treatment room 1 at Horizon Center in Casablanca

Appointments at the practice allow your denture to be prepared, tried in and adjusted.

  1. Discussing your needs

    The assessment includes the remaining teeth and gums. Bring your old denture if you have one and explain any difficulties with retention, chewing, speech or appearance. You can discuss possible options and the estimate.

  2. Preparing and trying in the denture

    Impressions and records are used to prepare the custom appliance. Try-in appointments may be needed depending on its design. Ask about the appointment schedule and use these discussions to talk about tooth shape and position.

  3. Learning the technique and making adjustments

    At fitting, your dentist shows you how to insert and remove the denture and explains its care. An adjustment period may be needed. Reviews assess comfort and possible pressure points; do not alter the clasps or base yourself.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Preparing your decision,
asking your questions.

Is this the same as an implant-retained denture?

No. A conventional partial denture relies on the structures already present in the mouth. An implant-retained denture uses attachments connected to implants. These are different treatment plans; assessment helps identify which may be considered.

Will the denture show when I smile?

This depends on the position of missing teeth, your smile and the attachment design. Discuss your expectations before fabrication. Gum-coloured retention does not guarantee invisibility in every situation.

How long does it take to get used to it?

Adaptation varies between individuals. Speech and chewing may feel different initially. Ask for guidance on the first meals and inserting the appliance. Report pain or an ulcer to the practice so it can be reviewed.

How do I clean a metal-framework or Valplast denture?

Care needs to suit the material. Ask for a demonstration and a list of compatible products, particularly for appliances containing metal or flexible resin. Clean your remaining teeth too, and follow the practice’s instructions on removal and storage.

Can it be repaired or have a tooth added later?

The possibilities depend on the material, denture design and changes in your mouth. Do not assume modification will always be possible. If the appliance breaks or you lose a natural tooth, bring it to the practice to assess the options.

How much does a removable denture cost in Casablanca?

The estimate depends on the number of missing teeth, material and stages needed. Ask which try-ins, fitting appointments and reviews are included. For an assessment with Dr Houda Agunaou at Horizon Center, City Office CFC, office A6, call 06 64 52 32 41 or use WhatsApp.
