There are many types of Ceramic Crowns
There are many types of Ceramic Crowns depending on if you have gold under them or not.
All porcelain ceramic crowns make the most beautiful restorations and they are my favorite for the front teeth.
Then came along lots of other types of other ceramic crowns-I have tried them all-procera, zirconium, lithium disilicate crowns and emax. Currently we use all porcelain or e-max type crowns. Some offices offer one sitting cerec crowns as well...

Ceramic crowns can be placed ANYWHERE in the mouth!
All-ceramic crowns (or "porcelain" crowns) will provide you with the most natural-looking esthetics, but one should know that there are several types of porcelain available to clinicians today, each type having advantages and/or disadvantages. The following must be considered prior to the placement of a generic "ceramic" crown:
Where will the crown be placed (in front of the mouth or in the back)?

Crowns that mimic nature.
Crowns in the esthetic zone can be designed and constructed to look entirely natural. All porcelain crowns can be designed to fit one's face with proper length:width proportions, natural imperfections in position, and characterizations of color. The portion next to the gum can be made semi translucent (called Contact Lens Effect) to make the edge of the crown blend in with the natural tooth.

Ceramic crowns are good...
Ceramic crowns will aesthically give you natural-looking teeth, but depending on where you need the crowns, there are different types of porcelain available on the market. Ceramic crowns are strong and can be placed anywhere in the mouth. If you need a crown for the anterior of your mouth though, go with an emax crown; they look more natural than porcelain crowns and are stronger.

Ceramic Crowns Combine Strength and Aesthetics
All ceramic crowns give patients and dentists the best of both worlds. They are STRONG and AESTHETIC! The newer porcelain/ceramic crowns are much superior than crowns of even 4-5 years ago. At this time the material of choice by most cosmetic dentists and laboratories is called E-max. This material can now be used confidently even on your back teeth (molars). The advantage to these crowns is that we can bond this material to your tooth, giving us a much tighter...

Emax for better esthetcs
Hello ,
The most life like appearance comes from E.Max crowns and these are more stronger than the all ceramic crowns and have higher fracture resistance. Expense wise they are comparable to all ceramic crowns. Physical properties are better than the all ceramic crowns. You should ask your dentist about these crowns. Good Luck!!

Ceramic crowns look the most natural...
Hello,
All of the he ceramic crowns look the most natural especially when it comes to the front teeth.
However I would not recommend full ceramic crowns on the back teeth. They are not as resistant that the ones that have metal.
Thanks,

Choose an emax crown.
If you are treating a tooth in the anterior of your mouth, I would choose an emax crown for the restoration. It is a material that looks very natural, and is stronger than traditional porcelain. It looks very natural because it has a lot of translucency, and no metal coping under the material.
