PFM Crown: A Durable and Aesthetic Solution for Restoring Teeth
Porcelain Fused to Metal (PFM) crowns are a popular and reliable choice for restoring damaged or weakened teeth. At DERMA & DENTAL CLINIC, we provide high-quality PFM crowns that offer both strength and a natural appearance. These crowns are ideal for both aesthetic restoration and durability, making them a versatile option for dental work.
What is a PFM Crown?
A PFM crown is a dental restoration made by fusing porcelain to a metal base. This combination allows the crown to have the strength of metal and the aesthetic benefits of porcelain. PFM crowns are highly durable, making them ideal for both front and back teeth.
How PFM Crowns Work:
Tooth Preparation: The damaged or decayed part of the tooth is removed.
Impression: An impression of the prepared tooth is taken to create a custom-fitted crown.
Crown Placement: The metal base is fused with porcelain to create a crown that is placed over the tooth, restoring its function and appearance.

Health Tips & Info
PFM crowns are highly durable and can last between 10 to 15 years with proper care. The longevity depends on factors such as oral hygiene, the location of the crown, and your chewing habits.
While PFM crowns are excellent for restoring both front and back teeth, they are more commonly used for back teeth due to their strength. For front teeth, all-ceramic or porcelain crowns may be preferred for a more natural appearance, as PFM crowns have a metal base that can show through in the gum line.
PFM crowns require the same care as natural teeth. It is important to brush and floss regularly, avoid biting down on hard objects, and visit your dentist for regular check-ups to ensure the crown is in good condition.
Yes, if a PFM crown becomes damaged or shows signs of wear, it can be replaced. Your dentist will evaluate the condition of the crown and may recommend a replacement or adjustment to restore the tooth’s function.
