Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal

The porcelain-fused-to-metal restorations from Treasure Dental Studio are long-standing industry standards due to their high durability. Our team crafts these restorations by bonding esthetic porcelain to a substructure crafted out of high-quality metal alloy. The porcelain is carefully bonded to reduce the potential for unflattering discoloration, helping increase lifelike esthetics. PFM restorations are biocompatible and help ensure continued periodontal health. The crowns are fabricated with smooth surfaces to prevent any harm on opposing dentition in cases of nighttime bruxism.

Features:

  • Biocompatible
  • Periodontal Success
  • Carefully Crafted

Our PFMs can be used for crowns and bridges (up to fourteen units). PFMs can be manufactured to nonprecious, semiprecious, and yellow high noble copings and can be used in conjunction with cast partials and implants.

Contraindicated when the patient has a metal allergy or when the size of the tooth pulp is negligibly smaller, thus compromising the tooth preparation process. It is also contraindicated when the clinical tooth crown is very short and lacks the required stability including retention that is enough to provide the space for porcelain and metal.

The ideal preparation for PFMs is a chamfer margin preparation. If a porcelain labial margin is prescribed, then a shoulder margin preparation is required. Feather-edge margin preparations are indicated for full-cast restorations.

If an adjustment is required on the ceramic, use a fine diamond with water and air to keep the crown cool. To contour the ceramic, polish with a pink rubber wheel and diamond polishing paste (Brasseler, Shofu, Vident).
