Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM)
Time-Tested Reliability and Material Excellence
For over fifty years, Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) has served as the industry benchmark for restorative strength. These restorations utilize a precision-cast metal substructure or a Captek framework, expertly layered with high-end porcelain.
Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) is a type of dental crown or bridge made with a strong metal base covered by tooth-colored porcelain.
- The metal framework provides durability and strength.
- The porcelain outer layer gives the restoration a natural tooth-like appearance.
PFM restorations are commonly used for crowns, bridges, and implant-supported restorations because they combine aesthetics with long-term function. They are especially useful in areas where extra strength is needed for chewing.
Advantages include:
- Strong and durable
- Natural-looking appearance
- Suitable for front and back teeth
- Long clinical history of success
