CAPTEK™ is an acronym
for "Capillary Casting Technology" which is best described
as a composite metal. Using a matrix of 97% gold, it is
reinforced with a group of small particles of a very high
fusing and high strength platinum/palladium/gold alloy
giving it the strength, stability, and toughness of a high
platinum/palladium alloy without losing the brilliant gold
color.
 The
Captek
Crown is the
result of 30 years of research by an internationally
renowned Prosthodontist and world-class dental
technician, with the sole purpose of developing the
best restoration to offer their own patients. This
unique scientific breakthrough enables your dentist to
deliver natural, long-lasting crowns and bridges that,
most importantly, are healthier for your surrounding
gums.
 For
centuries, gold has been known as the preferred
material for dental restorations. Captek's advanced
technology combines all the advantages of high-purity
gold, without sacrificing the strength of lower gold
dental materials. Years of research and patient
satisfaction have proven that Captek crowns are
durable, accurate, resistant to harmful bacteria and
plaque, and - what will be most obvious to you, the
patient - attractive. Finally, compromises need not be
made to achieve a beautiful and healthy smile. |
