Metal Based Porcelain Crown

Metal-based porcelain crowns have long been a reliable choice in restorative dentistry, striking a perfect balance between strength and beauty. These crowns feature a sturdy metal base topped with a porcelain layer, which not only gives them the durability required for those back teeth that take on a lot of chewing pressure but also allows the porcelain to replicate the natural color and translucency of real teeth, resulting in a truly lifelike look.

Benefits:

• Exceptional Durability: The metal core makes these crowns highly resistant to fracture and wear, ideal for molars and premolars that experience high chewing pressure.
• Aesthetic Appeal: The porcelain layer offers a natural look that blends well with the rest of your teeth, providing a seamless aesthetic, especially for visible areas.
• Strong and Reliable: The combination of metal and porcelain offers a robust solution for teeth restoration, making them a popular choice for patients with damaged or weakened teeth.
• Long-Lasting: Metal-based porcelain crowns are known for their long lifespan and can withstand the test of time, with proper care.

Manufacturing Process:

Metal-based porcelain crowns are created in two main stages. First, a metal framework is designed using precise measurements and 3D imaging of your tooth. This framework is crafted from a high-quality alloy, ensuring strength and a proper fit. Once the metal base is made, a layer of porcelain is applied to the framework and fired in a furnace to create a smooth, tooth-like surface. This porcelain is then polished to a natural gloss that resembles the appearance of enamel. The final crown is bonded to your tooth using a strong adhesive or resin cement, offering a durable and secure restoration.

Application Areas:

Metal-based porcelain crowns are ideal for back teeth where strength is essential. They are especially suited for molars and premolars that need to withstand chewing forces. While they can be used on front teeth, they are more commonly placed in the posterior regions, where durability is the priority over aesthetic concerns. These crowns are also an excellent choice for large fillings or when multiple teeth need restoration.
