Metal fused ceramic dental crowns are made of both ceramic and metal. A metal layer is placed on the tooth, then, a ceramic/porcelain veneer is fused to the metal shell.
Aesthetic Appeal
They provide you with a beautiful natural smile. Except the dark line which can be seen between the crown and the tooth, they look very similar to all-porcelain crowns.
Durability
Their cosmetic imperfection is compensated by their strength and durability achieved due to a metal component. Indeed, they have a high level of success and with proper brushing and flossing, they can last for many years.
Better Fit
A metal structure provides a better fit than all-porcelain crowns.
Reasonable Price
Usually, metal fused ceramic crowns are cheaper than metal free ones.
Dark Line on the Tooth
Along with the strength and durability, the presence of a metal component is the reason of a dark line which usually appears in the area where the crown meets the tooth. In case of the front teeth restoration, this could be a real problem. Moreover, if you have a gum recession, the dark line of metal could become more visible.
More Tooth Trimming Is Needed
In order to place them, the dentist should remove a significant amount of tooth, than with metal free crowns. However, this is not always a concern. Consult your dentist to choose the right type of restoration suitable for you.
