Captek

Captek, short for capillary casting technology, is an advanced metallurgic technology that produces a pure gold substructure reinforced with small particles, or "capillaries," of palladium and platinum. The advanced gold material in Captek allows us to create a restoration that appears remarkably lifelike. The gold material has also been proven to effectively reduce harmful bacteria and plaque deposits. This combination will give your patients more than just a beautiful smile – they’ll have a healthier one, as well.
