Crown and Bridge Restorations

Porcelain Fused to Metal Crowns (PFM Crowns)

PFM Crowns are a great choice for dentists in search of a restoration that combines longevity with a natural-look. They are a classic restoration option. PFM Crowns have withstood the test of time, making them a staple in the industry.

The underlying metal copping provides the strength and stability of natural teeth, while the ceramic copping imitates natural looking teeth providing an aesthetically beautiful result for patients. The ceramic copping imitates the natural look of teeth, providing aesthetically beautiful results; and the metal underlay provides superior strength and stability. The porcelain itself can be fused to non-precious, semi-precious, or white high noble copings.

Common Application: Anterior or posterior crowns and for multi-unit bridges as well.
