2. This crown gives a natural appearance to the tooth.
3. Porcelain fused to metal is much more cost-effective than Zirconia or pure porcelain restorations.
4. Metal can cause allergic reactions.
5. The light that passes through the porcelain is reflected off the metal creating a shadow effect; this is the reason why the dentist won’t recommend porcelain fused to metal crowns for anterior teeth.
6. Over time gums can retract, revealing the metal frame of the crown.
