Crown & Bridge Treatment in Isanpur

Porcelain fused to metal, often called PFM, is a crown with a metal inner layer covered by tooth-coloured porcelain. For patients in Isanpur, it is one of several crown materials available at Kkeswani Dental & Polyclinic. It has been used widely for a long time and remains a sound option for many teeth.

Dr. Prattik Kkeswani, a prosthodontist, suggests a material based on the tooth position, your bite and how much the tooth shows when you smile.

How PFM Crowns Work for Isanpur Patients

The metal base gives the crown strength, while the porcelain layer on top gives it a tooth-like colour. This mix suits back teeth that take strong chewing forces. It is also used for bridges, where the metal frame helps support a false tooth between two anchor teeth.

Because the metal layer takes up some room, a PFM crown can need a little more shaping of the tooth than a thin ceramic one. The porcelain on top can also chip if you bite on something very hard. These are not reasons to avoid PFM, but they are worth knowing. The dentist weighs them against the benefits when suggesting a crown for your tooth, and you can ask as many questions as you like.

Points to Know About PFM in Isanpur

• Strength: The metal core handles heavy biting well.
• Tooth colour: The porcelain surface matches the shade of nearby teeth.
• Gum line: In some cases, a thin grey line may show at the gum edge over time.
• Front teeth: For teeth that show a lot, all-ceramic crowns such as E-max or zirconia may look more natural.

Choosing Between PFM and Other Crowns in Isanpur

The process for a PFM crown is the same as for others: examination, tooth shaping under local anaesthesia, impressions, a temporary crown and then fitting with bite adjustments. The dentist explains the pros and cons of each material so you can decide with clear information.
