PFM and Metal Crowns are traditional restorative options that combine strength, function and affordability.
Digitally produced DMLS frameworks support consistent design and fit, while carefully finished ceramic layering gives PFM restorations a tooth-coloured exterior for a broad range of crown and bridge indications.
DMLS Full Metal is a durable posterior restoration produced with a digitally designed metal workflow, making it a practical option where functional strength, limited clearance and long-term service are key priorities.
The 5-year DMLS PFM option combines a digitally manufactured metal framework with tooth-coloured ceramic, providing a dependable balance of strength, aesthetics and accessible value for suitable cases.
The 10-year DMLS PFM tier is intended for clinicians seeking extended assurance alongside controlled framework design, functional anatomy and carefully layered ceramic aesthetics.
