Crown & Bridge
Porcelain Fused to Metal (PFM) Crowns & Bridges
PFM restorations pair a digitally designed metal coping witha hand-layered porcelain exterior. This combination delivers reliable strengthwith esthetics that blend into natural dentition. PFMs remain an excellentchoice when clearance is limited, when shade matching existing PFMs matters, orwhen long-span bridge reinforcement is needed.
Available alloy categories:
- Non-precious (nickel- and beryllium-free)
- Noble (white or yellow)
- High noble yellow
Optional customization:
- Metal occlusals
- Porcelain shoulders
- Butt margins
- Lingual metal

FAQ
Are PFMs still relevant with modern ceramics?
Yes. PFMs remain a reliable option for long-span bridges, clearance limitations, and matching existing restorations.
Do you offer metal occlusals or specific design requests?
Yes. Metal occlusals, porcelain shoulders, butt margins, and other traditional design options are available.
Can you match older PFMs?
Yes. Our team routinely matches existing PFM cases in shade and surface texture.
Are these printed or traditionally cast?
Copings are digitally designed and produced by either process based on material selection. Porcelain application is done by hand.
What influences alloy choice?
Budget, patient preference, and biocompatibility typically guide alloy selection.
