What
are removable gold caps?
Removable caps are
an ingenious product we began marketing over 5 years ago.
They are caps that actually fit over your existing teeth...both
front and back. They look exactly like permanent caps,
except you can take them out when you don't want to wear them.
How
do I order a set?
In order to order a
set of our customized caps, you must first contact us for
information necessary to getting your own set of
caps. For more information, click here.
Do
they look real?
Absolutely!!
Our caps are made with precision tools in a laboratory and are
custom made to a mold of your teeth. They will only fit your
teeth and will fit perfectly. No one will know they are only
caps except you.
Can
I eat & sleep with the caps in?
We do
not recommend that you eat or sleep with your caps in, however, we
know that many of our customers do. The caps are considered
to be jewelry...you should put them on and off as you would any
other type of jewelry.
What's
the difference between Silver, 14kt,18kt,white gold, 22kt and
platinum?
Our
silver caps are the least expensive caps, however, they will
tarnish very quickly. 14kt gold is the hardest type of gold,
however it too tends to tarnish quickly. Most people 14 kt
gold because it's the most durable (among gold). Even though
silver and 14 Kt gold tarnishes much faster than the other types
of materials, it can easily be cleaned with any non-toxic jewelry
cleaners/clothes. If you are a smoker, it will speed up the
tarnishing effects. We recommend that smokers order the 18kt
gold. The white gold gives the look of silver and tarnishes
very slowly. Platinum is very expensive, but well worth it.
Platinum rarely tarnishes and is the strongest material our caps
are made from.
Will
the caps lose their "shine"?
All
silver and gold will eventually tarnish and lose it's
"luster". The silver and 14kt gold tends to
tarnish the quickest, however, all of our caps no matter what
they're made of can easily be cleaned with any type of non-toxic
jewelry cleaner. The non-toxic jewelry cleaner clothes tend
to work best. The cleaners will bring your caps back to
their original luster/shine.
Can
I just order solid caps without any design?
Yes,
you can order just a plain set of silver, gold, white gold, or
platinum caps with nothing on them.
How
do you make the caps fit my teeth?
For more information about, click

Do
the caps only cover the front of my teeth?
No,
the caps cover the entire front and backside of your teeth.
They're similar to how a glove fits your hand.
What's
the maximum number of caps I can order?
The
maximum number of teeth we are willing to make for any single
customer is 24. 20 Teeth (10 on top and 10 on bottom) will fit
comfortably in the mouth. When you begin to get more teeth
in the back of your mouth, it will make the fitting of the teeth
very uncomfortable.
How
long will the caps last?
We have had the pleasure of serving
teeth that are 3-5 years old and they are still in good condition.
It really depends on how well the person takes care of them.
Can
I wear caps if I have a permanent retainer?
NO, we are unable
to design a set of caps that will fit properly if you have any
type of retainer, including the small thin wire retainers that are
in place behind your teeth. Our caps fit so precisely, that
it would damage your retainer every time you put your caps in.
Do
you accept checks?
Sorry, but we do
not accept checks. We accept money orders ONLY.
