Metal Supported Porcelain Crowns at Medixir Clinic

Metal supported porcelain crowns combine the strength of a metal core with the natural appearance of porcelain to create durable and esthetic restorations. At Medixir Clinic, we offer this time-tested solution for patients who require reliable coverage for damaged or structurally compromised teeth—especially in posterior regions.

These crowns consist of a strong, biocompatible metal substructure that provides support and longevity, topped with layers of high-quality porcelain for a natural tooth-like appearance. They are ideal for restoring teeth affected by decay, fractures, or large fillings, and can withstand heavy chewing forces over time.

Using digital scanning, precision-fit techniques, and customized shading, our dental experts ensure that each crown blends seamlessly with surrounding teeth while delivering strength and function. We take extra care to design crowns that are not only durable but also esthetically pleasing.

If you're seeking a trusted and cost-effective restoration method, metal supported porcelain crowns at Medixir Clinic provide the perfect combination of performance and appearance—crafted with care, precision, and long-term success in mind.

Metal Supported Porcelain

Metal supported porcelain crowns are one of the most traditional and widely used dental restorations. They consist of a strong metal substructure covered with tooth-colored porcelain, providing a combination of strength and aesthetic appeal.

At Medixir Clinic, we offer high-quality metal-supported porcelain crowns for patients who require durable and cost-effective dental restorations. These crowns are especially useful for restoring back teeth where chewing pressure is greatest.

The inner metal base gives the crown its strength, while the outer porcelain layer mimics the look of natural enamel. This dual-layer design ensures both functionality and a tooth-like appearance, especially in less visible areas of the mouth.

The treatment begins with a consultation, dental X-rays, and 3D scanning. After tooth preparation, an impression is taken and sent to our lab, where the crown is custom-fabricated to fit the prepared tooth and surrounding anatomy precisely.

Metal-supported crowns are ideal for patients who have experienced significant tooth damage, large fillings, or root canal treatment. They restore both the structure and bite of the tooth, preventing further wear or fracture.

While porcelain offers natural aesthetics, the metal base underneath can sometimes create a visible gray line near the gum line, particularly on front teeth. For this reason, we generally recommend them for molars or less visible teeth.

The metals used in these crowns are typically non-reactive and biocompatible, such as gold, nickel-chromium, or cobalt-chromium alloys. Patients with metal sensitivities may be tested beforehand to ensure compatibility.

One of the major advantages of metal-supported crowns is their affordability compared to all-ceramic options like zirconium or E-max. They offer long-lasting performance and are widely used in restorative treatments around the world.

With proper care, metal-supported porcelain crowns can last 10–15 years or more. Good oral hygiene, regular dental visits, and avoiding hard foods can prolong their lifespan and prevent chipping of the porcelain layer.

At Medixir Clinic, we work with skilled technicians and modern CAD/CAM systems to deliver crowns that offer both strength and aesthetics. Whether you're replacing a single tooth or need full-mouth rehabilitation, our metal-supported crowns provide a reliable solution tailored to your needs.
