First, the dentist will utilize a thin metal alloy to create a slim thimble-like “cap.” The cap is designed, keeping in mind the tooth’s size and fits flawlessly over the teeth. After that, Porcelain is fused over the groundwork as the bridge or crown.

PFM helps make great teeth restoration devices and renders a remarkable balance between aesthetics and strength.

Bridges are joined to the natural tooth called anchors. The manufacturing and technique are also the same in PFM crown as in the PFM Bridge.
