Prosthodontics PFM (Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal) Restorations

At Perla Dental, we offer Prosthodontic PFM Restorations, a reliable and aesthetically pleasing solution for replacing or restoring damaged teeth. These restorations are designed to provide exceptional strength and a natural appearance, making them a popular choice for crowns, bridges, and other prosthetic dental solutions.

What are PFM Restorations?

PFM, or Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal, combines a strong metal base for durability with a layer of porcelain for a natural tooth-like appearance. This dual construction ensures the restoration is both functional and visually appealing.

Ideal Applications:

• Crowns: To cover and protect damaged or weakened teeth.
• Bridges: To replace one or more missing teeth.
• Implants: As the visible restoration over dental implants.

Why Choose PFM Restorations?

1. Durability and Strength

• The metal base ensures long-lasting performance, especially in areas with heavy chewing forces like molars.

2. Natural Appearance

• The porcelain layer mimics the color and translucency of natural teeth, blending seamlessly with your smile.

3. Versatility

• Suitable for both front and back teeth, offering strength where needed and aesthetics where visible.

4. Cost-Effective

• Provides an excellent balance between durability and affordability compared to all-ceramic options.

How Does the Process Work?

1. Consultation & Assessment: Our prosthodontic experts evaluate your oral health and recommend PFM restorations if they fit your needs.
2. Tooth Preparation: The damaged tooth is shaped to accommodate the crown or bridge.
3. Impressions: Precise molds of your teeth are taken to ensure a custom fit.
4. Fabrication: The PFM restoration is crafted in a dental lab, combining a durable metal core with a lifelike porcelain layer.
5. Fitting & Bonding: The restoration is securely bonded to your tooth or implant, adjusted for a perfect fit, and polished for comfort.
