PFM crowns are commonly used because they are a little cheaper than all-porcelain versions and durable due to their metal content. However, they are not quite as aesthetically pleasing as all-porcelain models because they can often cause the gum line to have a gray tinge. Still, they are a very good option for anyone who wants an aesthetically pleasing crown at a lower price point.

However, their strength can make them a little less comfortable for some people due to the harshness of the bite.
