PFM Crown Tijuana

PFM crowns are a hybrid between porcelain and metal crowns. Initially a metal shell is prepared which can fit perfectly over the concerned tooth. Then a porcelain veneer is fused on the metal shell which gives the crown a natural looking appearance. METAL DOES NOT SHOW AT ALL. A PFM (Porcelain Fused to Metal) crown is a cap that is tooth shaped. It covers a particular tooth to re-establish its size, shape, appearance and improve its strength. When the crown is cemented, it completely encases the visible portion of the tooth. They look just like a natural tooth and last for about seven years. Sometimes, they last up to forty years.

ZIRCONIA or METAL FREE Crowns are the highest in crown quality and aesthetic. Zirconia is gentle on the nerves since it transfers heat and cold more slowly than crowns made of metal. The zirconia material is biocompatible, meaning that it is safe to stay within your mouth for a long period of time. There is no need to worry about any adverse reactions from your body because it is not rejected by the human body. Due to the Zirconia's light translucent color, there are no black margins in case of age-related receding gums, as this is frequently the case with metal restorations. Due to the extreme hardness and high density of the material, it withstands the highest biting force making them more durable.

Metal and porcelain crownsZirconium CrownsThese are indicated when a tooth is severely damaged and cannot return to its regular function by a simple restoration, likewise, when the tooth has received endodontic treatment.
