Based on our extensive experience and feedback from over 500 partner clinics, PFM bridges have consistently proven to be a preferred choice for posterior restoration.
The fusion of metal and porcelain in PFM posterior bridges offers unique advantages over alternative materials. The metal coping provides superior strength and compression resistance, making these bridges more resilient to masticatory forces compared to all-ceramic alternatives which may be more prone to fracture. The porcelain layering delivers natural aesthetics that surpass traditional all-metal restorations. When compared to implant solutions, PFM bridges present a more economical option, while their fixed nature offers greater comfort than removable prosthetics.
PFM posterior bridges are particularly well-suited for patients seeking long-term restoration stability. Clinical studies demonstrate impressive longevity rates: 93% success rate at 10 years, and 79% success rate at 18-23 years with proper maintenance.
The biocompatibility of PFM bridges makes them an excellent choice for patients with material sensitivities. Our copings utilize premium materials such as:
• Cobalt-chromium
• Gold
• Platinum
These materials show significantly lower rates of gingival inflammation and allergic reactions compared to traditional nickel-chromium alloys, making them ideal for posterior restorations requiring both durability and biocompatibility.
