Cu-Sil Partials

Cu-Sil® partials are specifically indicated for patients with few remaining teeth. These partials combine a rigid partial base with soft silicone gaskets that encircle the neck of abutment teeth and eliminate the need for metal clasps or attachments. Our high strength base provides patient confidence and patient comfort. You can expect to see excellent tissue response to this base and the soft, flexible gaskets.
