In New Town, Kolkata, a damaged or heavily filled tooth may need extra protection to help restore its shape and chewing function. A PFM (Porcelain Fused to Metal) crown is a dental cap with a metal base covered by a layer of tooth coloured porcelain.
• A PFM crown can cover and protect a weakened tooth when recommended by a dentist.
• The porcelain outer layer helps the crown blend with nearby teeth.
• Good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups help maintain the crown and surrounding gums.
Not every tooth needs a crown. Your dentist can assess the tooth and explain suitable options. The Newtown Clinic, near Axis Mall, provides dental consultations for patients across New Town, Salt Lake and Rajarhat.
