What is Press-To-Metal™?

Authentic Press-To-Metal™ is a hybrid technique for creating restorations that take advantage of the strength of metal frameworks and the asthetic capabilities of pressable ceramics.
Traditional lost wax copings are made and low fusing pressable ceramics are pressed directly to the opaqued metal.
The resulting restoration presents the esthetic subtlety that can only be achieved using the broad esthetic palette of pressable materials and the functional durability of a cast metal subtrate.
Authentic Press-To-Metal™ is the best of both worlds, strength and beauty.


  Advantages:

  • Pressable over metal, or all-ceramic
  • Great for combination cases. Can be used for bridges, veneers, and crowns


  Indications:

  • Cases that require the strength of metal with the esthetics of pressable ceramics
