Ceramic with Metal Base for Crowns & Bridges


Picture
Ceramic or Porcelain fused to metal is the classic type of crowns & bridges.
Advantages
  • Excellent function
Disadvantages
  • They have a metal substructure and require on opaque below the porcelain. This can make translucency of natural teeth difficult to replicate.
  • Occasionally a darker line will be visible at the edge of the crown, near to your gum when it recedes with age.
  • Since the ceramic is layered on the metal substructure, ceramic chipping is a frequent complication.
