The evolution of restorations.
Traditionally, crowns and bridges were made of metal,
because it is strong and relatively inexpensive.
Then came porcelain fused to metal restorations, which
came closer to the look of real teeth and provided strength,
durability and fit.
But it is difficult to achieve the translucency of your natural
teeth with a restoration that has a metal framework. Light
does not pass through the metal restoration like it does
through your own teeth, leaving a dull, lifeless appearance.
In addition, over time, the metal framework can
leave a dark ridge where the gums recede.
