A dental restoration preferably comprises a light-transmissive coping and a porcelain layer. The light-transmissive coping can be formed using a metal fiber layer rather than a solid metal layer. The metal fiber layer preferably consists of a mixture of metal fibers and an opaque bonding material. The metal fiber layer can further be substantially encapsulated between other layers such that non-precious metals may be used without fear of allergic reactions in patients. A method of forming a dental restoration preferably comprises forming a light-transmissive coping and applying a porcelain shell to the coping. |
