Dental crowns have long been a popular solution for restoring both the aesthetics and function of damaged or decayed teeth. As a result, more and more people are opting for dental crowns to achieve a confident and radiant smile. This not only enhances one’s appearance but also, according to Feng Shui beliefs, can attract wealth and good fortune. Delia Dental would like to share with you about one of the most commonly chosen types of dental crowns: PFM crowns.
What are PFM crowns?
PFM crowns, or porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns, consist of a metal inner core covered with a layer of porcelain. The metal inner core is typically made of an alloy.
Advantages and disadvantages of PFM crowns
Advantages of PFM crowns
Advantages of PFM crowns In terms of durability, PFM crowns offer excellent strength. Aesthetically, they provide a more natural appearance than full metal crowns due to the porcelain layer, which can be matched to the color of your natural teeth. PFM crowns are also more affordable compared to full ceramic crowns.
Advantages and disadvantages of PFM crowns
Disadvantages of PFM crowns
- Due to the metal inner core, the color of the crown may not look as natural as all-ceramic crowns.
- The metal beneath the porcelain can cause a gray or black line at the gumline, affecting the aesthetics.
- The porcelain layer can chip or crack if subjected to excessive force.
- For individuals who grind their teeth, these crowns may wear down faster than opposing teeth. To address these drawbacks, especially the black line at the gumline, it is recommended to visit a dental clinic to replace the PFM crown with a new one or an all-ceramic crown.
