If I am allergic to metals, will I be allergic to Captek?
Traditional crowns include impurities that can irritate gums and cause systemic sensitivities. In contrast, Captek only uses the purest forms of noble metals and is hypo allergenic. Unlike older technologies, Captek does not form dark oxides that can cause inflammation and dark & receding gums. In fact, Captek is the only dental material shown to actually improve periodontal health.

Is Captek healthier than other types of Crowns?
Captek is the only dental material that actually promotes healthy gums. Research has shown that Captek fits better than other materials and doesn’t corrode like traditional metals with porcelain. When a crown doesn’t fit well it is like having spurs sticking into the gums. Captek eliminates that. Corrosion can be even worse, often leading to inflammation and gum recession. Corrosion causes toxic byproducts to migrate into the gums and bacterial plaque to hide in corroded surfaces. Captek never corrodes and produces no byproducts, remaining pure for life. The result is a decrease in bacterial plaque and healthier gums.
