Key Features

  1. Strength and Durability: The metal substructure provides exceptional strength, making PFMs suitable for posterior restorations and areas with high chewing forces. The restoration can withstand the demands of everyday use, ensuring longevity.
  2. Natural-Looking Aesthetics: The porcelain overlay gives PFMs a lifelike appearance, mimicking the natural color and translucency of teeth. The customized shade selection ensures a seamless blend with the patient's existing dentition.
  3. Versatility: PFMs are versatile and can be used for single crowns, bridges, and even implant-supported restorations. They offer flexibility in treating various clinical situations and can be tailored to meet individual patient needs.
  4. Biocompatibility: The metal substructure used in PFMs is biocompatible and well-tolerated by patients, reducing the risk of adverse reactions or sensitivities.
  5. Enhanced Marginal Fit: Our skilled technicians meticulously craft each PFM restoration to ensure precise marginal fit, promoting optimal marginal integrity and reducing the potential for bacterial infiltration.
