PFM Crowns

Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns are a type of dental restoration that combines the strength of a metal substructure with the natural appearance of a porcelain exterior. These crowns have been widely used for decades due to their durability and aesthetic qualities.

TOUCH

We employ NEODONTICS’ Formula 45+Ti and Aurident’s certified metals for our PFM restorations, both meticulously validated in the United States for their superior quality. These materials are expertly engineered to enhance porcelain bonding, ensuring exquisite durability and aesthetics. Additionally, we utilize “Clarity” for PFG Semi and “GP” for PFG Yellow Gold (YG), elevating both finesse and functionality. This reflects our unwavering commitment to excellence and sophistication in dental craftsmanship.

Advantages of PFM Crowns

Strength and Durability

The metal substructure provides excellent strength and durability, making PFM crowns suitable for both anterior and posterior restorations.
Aesthetic Appeal The porcelain exterior can be color-matched to the patient’s natural teeth, providing a more natural appearance compared to all-metal crowns.
Versatility PFM crowns can be used for single crowns, bridges, and implant restorations, making them a versatile option in restorative dentistry.
Proven Track Record PFM crowns have been used successfully for many years, providing a reliable and time-tested solution for dental restorations.

Disadvantages of PFM Crowns

Potential for Metal Visibility

Over time, the metal margin may become visible at the gum line, especially if the gums recede. This can affect the aesthetic appearance of the crown.
Porcelain Chipping The porcelain layer can chip or fracture under heavy bite forces or trauma, potentially compromising the crown’s appearance and function.
Allergic Reactions Some patients may have allergies or sensitivities to the metals used in the substructure, particularly with base metal alloys.
Complex Preparation The preparation for PFM crowns can be more complex and may require more tooth reduction compared to other types of crowns, such as all-ceramic or zirconia crowns.

Our recommendation

PFM crowns offer a sophisticated and innovative solution, expertly combining the robust strength of metal with the refined aesthetics of porcelain. As a versatile and reliable choice for a wide array of dental restorations, they do present some considerations, such as potential metal visibility and the risk of porcelain chipping. Nevertheless, their enduring presence in the field of dentistry underscores their proven effectiveness and exceptional durability, making them a trusted option for dental professionals worldwide.
