There are many benefits to using Captek
BENEFITS YOU WILL LOVE

Load Bearing Capacity
Esthetics: The warm, gold color of
Captek understructures provides a perfect
background for esthetic results. Superior
esthetics are achieved, even in the gingival
third, with no unsightly gray lines at the margin.
Strength: University testing confirmed the high shear
bond strength and load bearing capacity of Captek
crowns and bridges.* Reliable clinical documentation
since 1995 makes Captek a proven performer.

Shear Bond Strength
Biocompatibility: Clinical testing proves that
Captekrestorations reduce bacteria and plaque
by 71% as compared to the ultimate standard,
natural healthy tooth structure. Captek is the
only restoration referred to by a top researcher
as having therapeutic potential to encourage
healthy tissue.
Accurate Fit: The microstructure of the
composite metal, together with the unique
lab process, is proven to provide significantly
smaller marginal openings on Captek crowns
and bridges versus all categories of traditional
cast metals. Better-fitting crowns require less
internal, occlusal and contact adjustments,
thus saving valuable chair time.
Save Chair Time: No special preparation or
bonding techniques are required.
Significantly reduced Plaque and bacteria.

Reduced Plaque and Bacteria
Captek™ is proven to reduce plaque and the growth of harmful bacteria that may cause gum disease.
