When is a metal-ceramic crown a good choice?

We recommend this type of crown primarily for the restoration of molars and premolars, where resistance to high chewing forces is key, and aesthetic requirements are lower than in the smile zone. It also works well as a component of larger prosthetic bridges. This is a solution with predictable durability, proven by many years of clinical practice.

How a crown treatment is performed at Mabel Clinic

The tooth is prepared under local anaesthetic and we take accurate impressions, protecting it with a temporary crown while the laboratory does its work. The technician fabricates a metal substructure and layers it with porcelain in a matching shade. During the fitting, we check the marginal seal, contact points, and bite to ensure the crown is comfortable from day one.

Durability and all-ceramic alternatives

A correctly made porcelain-fused-to-metal crown lasts for many years, and its greatest advantage is its mechanical resistance. It is worth knowing that if the gums recede, the metal edge may become visible over time, which is why we usually recommend all-ceramic, zirconia, or E-max crowns for the smile zone. During the consultation, we honestly compare all the options.
