PFM crowns are strong and durable
Dentists have been using PFM crowns for more than 35 years.
Even though all-ceramic crowns have better esthetics, PFM crowns are still used, albeit they are not as popular as they used to be.
The reason why PFM crowns might still be preferred is that the underlying metal makes the crown stronger and more stable.
The metal enhances the bonding to the tooth.
They look like your natural teeth
You have a variety of shades to choose from to make it look like your natural teeth. A unique property of porcelain is translucency, which helps to mimic your natural teeth. (Translucency is the phenomenon wherein the light partially passes through the object. Your natural teeth have some amount of translucency.)
They have a very high rate of success in the long run.
The best part of these crowns is the stability and strength which is unmatched by any other restorations available today.
These are best for patients looking for a natural look and durability.
PFM is a preferred choice when bridges for the long run are required and night grinding is a problem.
These crowns are trusted not only by patients but also by doctors all over the globe.
