Why Captek?
The secret to the success of Captek™ is the advanced “Capillary Casting Technology” used to produce the gold coping for Captek crowns and bridges. The unique composite metal is 88% gold reinforced with small particles of high fusing and high strength platinum and palladium, resulting in a restoration with the vital and natural look of gold, the superior strength and durability of platinum and palladium and the extra benefit of reducing harmful bacteria around the gums.
Health — Unique to Captek
• The advanced gold coping material is proven to reduce the accumulation of harmful bacteria at the gum line by 90% compared to natural tooth structure.*
Strength
