Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns look like natural
teeth and are stronger than ceramic crowns. PFM crowns can
be matched to your natural teeth so they provide an attractive
appearance. However, the porcelain portion can be chipped
off and the underlying metal can peer through as a dark
line. Stronger than all-porcelain crowns, PFM crowns also
wear down, and can show more of the dark line as the gum
recedes.
Esthetic: Porcelain
fused to metal crowns remain one of dentistry's primary
restorations of choice because, when properly constructed
and seated, they are strong, reliable and esthetic. The
porcelains used at our lab incorporate optical properties
that parallel natural tooth structure resulting in superior
esthetics.
Function: From single units to roundhouse
bridges, porcelain fused to metal has the versatility for
the job. Plus, the very fine leucite crystals in our porcelains
result in a combination of high wear resistance and forgiveness
to surrounding dentition. Our dedicated team of technicians
use their skills in the blending of today’s materials to
create highly esthetic, yet functional restorations.
