Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns in Gurgaon

PFM crowns in Gurgaon use porcelain over a metal base that supports the outer layer; suitability still depends on the damaged tooth and its bite. Dr Divya Marwaha can assess that tooth and explain the construction at Marwaha Dental Clinic in DLF Phase 2, Gurugram. She is an experienced dental surgeon and clinic founder; MDC has served patients since 2004.

The decision is not simply which material sounds strongest. A dentist considers the remaining tooth, decay risk, gum health and bite, then discusses the restoration and its limits.

What makes a crown PFM

A crown covers a prepared tooth to restore form and function. In a PFM crown, a metal substructure supports the outer porcelain layer, which can chip. An all-ceramic crown has no metal substructure, while zirconia crowns are made from zirconium dioxide ceramic; these descriptions are material distinctions, not a ranking or a recommendation for every tooth.

Is a crown appropriate for this tooth?

A crown may be considered for a broken or severely weakened tooth, or when a large filling leaves too little tooth tissue to support it. Some teeth can instead be rebuilt with an adhesive tooth-coloured filling if the defect and bite allow. Decay risk, hygiene, gum health and bite affect suitability and prognosis. Grinding or clenching can complicate planning but does not automatically rule a crown out. MouthHealthy: Crowns · Leeds Teaching Hospitals: Crowns

Preparing a natural tooth removes tooth structure irreversibly; the removed enamel does not grow back. Early surface damage that may be remineralised is different and does not replace enamel removed for crown preparation. Conventional crown fabrication uses an impression or digital scan after preparation, and the definitive crown is checked for fit and comfort before cementation. Tell the dentist if treatment is painful so numbing can be adjusted as needed. Dental Health Foundation: Crowns · Cleveland Clinic: Dental crowns

Caring for a crown and recognising problems

Sensitivity can occur after preparation and fitting. An ill-fitting crown can trap bacteria and contribute to decay in remaining natural tooth tissue. Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, clean between teeth daily, reduce frequent sugar exposure, avoid biting hard objects and attend check-ups on an individual schedule. Longevity varies with care and individual circumstances; no fixed lifespan is assured.

A loose, cracked or sharp-edged crown warrants dental assessment. Some sensitivity may be temporary, but pain after fitting that keeps you awake at night should be assessed. Allergic reactions associated with crowns are uncommon; this general possibility does not establish that a particular material is risk-free.
