Captek, short for Capillary Casting Technology, is an advanced metallurgic technology that produces a highly pure gold substructure that is reinforced with small particles , or "capillaries", of palladium and platinum.

The advanced gold material in Captektm enables us to create a restoration that appears remarkably vital and lifelike. The gold material has also been proven to effectively reduce harmful bacteria and plaque deposits. The combination will give your patients more than just a beautiful smile-a healthier one as well.
