PFM Crawn & Bridge

DMLS PFM

Description

PFM Crown and Bridge:

A PFM crown and bridge combines the strength of a metal substructure with the natural appearance of porcelain to restore the function and aesthetics of a patient’s teeth. This type of dental restoration consists of two main components:

  1. Metal Substructure: The substructure of a PFM crown or bridge is typically made of a strong and biocompatible metal alloy, such as gold, nickel, or chromium. This metal provides durability and structural support, making it suitable for withstanding the forces of chewing and biting.
  2. Porcelain Overlay: The metal substructure is covered or “fused” with layers of dental porcelain. Porcelain is known for its natural tooth-like appearance, including translucency and color-matching properties. It is carefully shaped and shaded to blend seamlessly with the patient’s existing teeth.

Key Features:

  • Strength and Durability: The metal substructure provides excellent strength and durability, ensuring that the crown or bridge can withstand the rigors of daily use.
  • Aesthetic Appeal: The porcelain overlay mimics the appearance of natural teeth, making the restoration look realistic and aesthetically pleasing. This is particularly important for front teeth or visible areas of the mouth.
  • Biocompatibility: The materials used in PFM crowns and bridges are biocompatible and well-tolerated by the body, minimizing the risk of adverse reactions.
  • Versatility: PFM crowns and bridges are versatile and can be used to restore single teeth (crowns) or replace multiple missing teeth (bridges). They are suitable for both anterior (front) and posterior (back) teeth.
  • Customization: Dentists can customize the shade, shape, and size of the porcelain overlay to match the patient’s unique dental characteristics, ensuring a natural and personalized result.

Overall, PFM crowns and bridges offer a balance between strength and aesthetics, making them a common choice for restorative and cosmetic dental procedures. They are trusted for their long-term performance and ability to restore both function and appearance.
