Porcelain Fused to Metal Crowns

When a tooth needs restoration, sometimes the best choice is Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM). We might choose a PFM crown to restore a tooth when a large filling has failed, or when the tooth is cracked, broken, or subject to grinding and clenching. Very often, it is the treatment choice after Root Canal. These crowns are strong enough to withstand heavy biting pressures and at the same time can have excellent cosmetic appearance.

A PFM crown consists of a tooth-colored porcelain layer baked onto a metal core. It is precision-crafted in a dental laboratory, so it will take two appointments to restore your tooth with a PFM crown.
