What Are PFM Crowns?

PFM (Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal) crowns have been the reliable standard in restorative dentistry for decades. They combine the mechanical durability of metal with the aesthetic appeal of porcelain.

At Dagur Dental Care, we recommend PFM crowns for patients who need a strong restoration for their molars (back teeth) or bridges. The inner metal substructure ensures the crown can withstand heavy chewing forces, while the outer porcelain is shade-matched to your natural teeth.

  • Superior Strength: Ideal for back teeth where chewing pressure is highest.
  • Proven Longevity: A time-tested solution with a high success rate.
  • Custom Color Matching: Porcelain is layered to match your surrounding teeth.

Common Queries

PFM Crowns FAQ

Yes. The outer layer of a PFM crown is made of porcelain, which can be shade-matched to your surrounding teeth. While Zirconia or E-max are slightly more translucent, PFM provides a very high-quality aesthetic result for most patients.

Sometimes, if the gums recede over many years, a very thin dark line may appear at the gumline. However, our advanced "porcelain margin" techniques help minimize this effect for a more seamless look.

Treat it just like a natural tooth. Brush twice a day, floss regularly (especially around the gumline of the crown), and visit Dagur Dental Care for professional cleanings every 6 months.
