PFM (Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal) crowns and bridges offer the perfect combination of strength and aesthetics. With a metal base for durability and porcelain for a natural look, they are an ideal solution for restoring damaged or missing teeth.
PFM restorations are designed to provide a strong bite force and are less likely to break or chip compared to all-ceramic restorations. At Shah Dental Care, we create custom PFM crowns and bridges to match your natural teeth color and shape, ensuring a perfect fit.
The process of creating and placing PFM crowns and bridges is precise and tailored to each patient. Here’s how we do it:
Your dentist will examine your oral health and take digital X-rays to determine if a PFM crown or bridge is the best option for you. They will discuss your needs and the desired outcomes.
We take precise impressions of your teeth and match the shade of your natural teeth to create a seamless, lifelike appearance for your restoration.
Using the impressions, we fabricate the metal framework and apply porcelain to match your natural tooth color. This is done using advanced techniques to ensure a perfect fit and function.
Once the PFM crown or bridge is ready, we place it in your mouth and make any necessary adjustments to ensure proper fit and comfort. Once satisfied, we permanently bond it in place.
A PFM (Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal) crown or bridge is a dental restoration that combines a metal base for strength with a porcelain layer for a natural appearance. They are commonly used to restore damaged or missing teeth.
With proper care, PFM crowns and bridges can last between 10 and 15 years, making them a durable and long-lasting solution for damaged or missing teeth.
Yes, PFM restorations are safe and highly effective. The metal base is biocompatible, and the porcelain is designed to mimic the look and feel of natural teeth.
