Dental Crown (Porcelain Fused to Metal) is a restorative dental procedure designed to cover and protect a damaged or weakened tooth. Porcelain Fused to Metal Dental Crown consists of a strong internal metal framework combined with an outer porcelain layer that resembles the colour and shape of a natural tooth. This design allows the dental crown to provide both structural strength and aesthetic improvement. The metal base supports heavy biting pressure while the porcelain surface recreates the appearance of natural enamel, allowing the treated tooth to blend with surrounding teeth.

Porcelain Fused to Metal Dental Crown helps restore chewing strength, rebuild tooth shape, and protect weakened tooth structures from further damage. The dental crown also improves dental stability by covering cracks, large fillings, or worn tooth surfaces. Because of the durable metal foundation and the natural-looking porcelain coating, this restoration offers a balance between long-lasting performance and cosmetic enhancement while helping maintain normal oral function.

Dental Crown begins with consultation by the dentist at our affiliated clinic, where the tooth condition will be examined and treatment suitability will be evaluated. During this stage, the dentist will assess the level of damage, check surrounding gums, and may take X rays to understand the tooth structure beneath the surface. After confirmation, local anesthesia will be administered to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. The affected tooth will then be carefully prepared by removing damaged areas and reshaping the surface to create adequate space for the Porcelain Fused to Metal Dental Crown.

Once the tooth preparation is completed, impressions will be taken and sent to the dental laboratory for custom dental crown fabrication. A temporary dental crown will be placed to protect the tooth while the permanent restoration is being made. The final fitting appointment will occur after approximately 1 to 2 weeks, when the permanent Porcelain Fused to Metal Dental Crown will be checked for fit, bite alignment, and colour before being cemented in place. Downtime is minimal and normal daily activities can usually resume on the same day, although mild sensitivity may occur for a few days after placement.
