What Is a PFM Crown?
A PFM Crown (Porcelain Fused to Metal Crown) is a type of dental crown designed to restore damaged, weak, or heavily filled teeth by combining strength and aesthetics. It consists of a strong metal base on the inside and a tooth-colored porcelain layer on the outside, allowing it to function like a natural tooth while maintaining durability.
The metal core provides excellent support and resistance to chewing forces, making PFM crowns ideal for both front and back teeth. The outer porcelain coating is carefully matched to the color of your natural teeth, helping the crown blend seamlessly with your smile.
PFM crowns are widely used in restorative dentistry due to their long lifespan, affordability, and proven performance, especially in cases where strength is as important as appearance.

Difference Between Porcelain Fused to Metal Crown and All-Ceramic Crown
Choosing the right crown depends on your tooth position, bite force, aesthetic goals, and budget. Here’s a clear comparison between PFM (Porcelain Fused to Metal) crowns and All-Ceramic crowns.
| Feature | PFM Crown (Porcelain Fused to Metal) | All-Ceramic Crown |
|---|---|---|
| Strength & Durability | Very strong due to the metal core; ideal for heavy biting and chewing. | Strong, but may be less resistant than PFM in high-bite-pressure areas. |
| Aesthetics | Natural look with porcelain layer, but a metal margin may show over time in some cases. | Excellent aesthetics with a more lifelike translucency; no metal line. |
| Best For | Back teeth (molars/premolars), long-span restorations, or when extra strength is needed. | Front teeth and smile-zone areas where appearance is the top priority. |
| Gum Compatibility | Generally well-tolerated; in some cases, gum recession can reveal the metal edge. | Highly gum-friendly and typically provides a seamless gumline appearance. |
| Cost | Usually more affordable and widely chosen for budget-friendly restorations. | Typically higher cost due to advanced materials and premium aesthetics. |
| Material | Metal substructure with porcelain fused on top. | Fully ceramic material with no metal. |
Which Crown Should You Choose?
If you need maximum strength and an affordable option, a PFM crown can be a great choice. If your priority is the most natural-looking smile, an all-ceramic crown may be better—especially for front teeth. Our dentist will recommend the ideal option based on your bite, tooth position, and cosmetic expectations.
