Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns
PFM crowns remain one of the most dependable solutions in restorative dentistry, combining the durability of a metal substructure with the natural esthetics of porcelain. At Valley Dental Laboratories, we specialize in fabricating PFM crowns tailored to your patients’ needs, offering non-precious, semi-precious, and high-noble crowns to meet diverse clinical requirements.
Types of PFM Crowns
Non-Precious PFM
- A cost-effective option with dependable strength
- Ideal for posterior teeth and routine restorative cases
Semi-Precious PFM
- Balances strength, esthetics, and value
- Greater resistance to wear and corrosion than non-precious alloys
- Suitable for both anterior and posterior teeth
High-Noble PFM
- Gold-based alloys offering superior biocompatibility and corrosion resistance
- Long-term reliability with excellent esthetics
- Recommended for highly visible anterior restorations where shade and translucency matter most
Advantages of PFM Restorations
- Strength & Durability: Metal substructure resists fracture and supports bridges and long-span restorations

- Versatility: Choose between non-precious crowns, semi-precious crowns, or high-noble crowns depending on case needs
