Porcelain Infused Metal Crown
PFM dental means Porcelain Infused Metal (or Porcelain Fused to Metal). A PFM crown consists of a metal base and a porcelain coating. This makes it almost as durable as a pure metal crown, but more beautiful.
For a long time, porcelain crowns have been the most popular crowns in the dental industry. It is still in use, but all-ceramic crowns such as zirconia crowns and E.max crowns are now becoming the first choice, especially for front teeth. PFM crowns are more affordable than all-ceramic crowns. Therefore, even if they are not as beautiful as all-ceramic crowns, they are still good candidates for dental restorations.
Featured Porcelain Metal Crowns
Nickle-chrome and Cobalt-chrome are 2 types of non-precious metal used for non-precious PFM crowns. In Robust dental, we only use cobalt-chrome metal for all non-precious PFM crowns. A non-precious PFM crown is the most cost-effective among crowns with porcelain. However, a lot of people are allergic to the non-precious metal.
A semi-precious PFM crown contains a certain amount of precious alloy. Looking from outside, we cannot tell the difference between a semi-precious PFM crown and a non-precious PFM crown, but patients who are allergic to non-precious metal will choose it. Actually, more and more people nowadays will go for all-ceramic dental crowns.
A porcelain fused to high noble crown contains high percentage of precious alloy. It is the most biocompatibility among all PFM crowns, so people who are allergic to non-precious metal can be comfortable with it. Also, many peopel are attracted by its yellow-colored metal base.
