I agree with LM above.


Porcelain fused to a precious alloy (also called "noble" - high in gold) will bond very well to the procelain. This is the alloy of best choice and are worth the cost.


The semi- or non-precious alloys do not adhere well to the porcelain, and sometimes have a poor colouration that can come thru the porcelain.
Reply:Porcelain fused to a noble metal will do unless you have severe allergies to certain types of metal, in which case gold is used. The lifespan of a bridge is dependent on how you will take care of the abutments (the teeth used as anchors) and not on the type of metal. The adherence of the porcelain to the metal however, is largely dependent on the firing (process to make porcelain stick to metal) of the bridge.
Reply:We always do porcelain to high nobel metal. Please, just don't let him do a porcelain to non-precious metal. I don't care how much cheaper they are, and what others might tell you, they are crap.
