Porcelain fused to Metal crowns or the PFM crowns are nothing but metal crowns that have a layer of a tooth coloured material (porcelain) fused to it. They almost look like natural teeth, have an excellent fit and have a good strength because of the metal base. This makes them highly acceptable by the patients.
When a patient has a missing tooth or a few missing teeth and desires a bridge for the replacement of them, he/she can go for a porcelain fused to metal bridge that offers both strength and natural look. Even the teeth that have been root canal treated and need a crown, porcelain fused to metal crowns can be used. Aesthetically, this crown is quite superior and widely acceptable.
To place the crown, 2 appointments are enough. One for taking the impression and one for cementing the crown/bridge. Sometimes, an extra appointment might be needed for a trial of the crown/bridge.
The cost/price of Porcelain fused to metal or the PFM crowns in Kolkata is determined based on the clinical situation and merits of the case. Most treatments in dentistry are customized to a persons existing dental situation, medical condition and understanding of future oral-dental needs.
This experience went exceedingly well. The entire team was warm & friendly as well as quite essentially professional. My appearance & ability to chew & enjoy food again is 100% enhanced. Thanks to everyone in the clinic.
