A zirconia implant abutment together with a zirconia or e-max crown give the most aesthetic results for front teeth restorations. A skilled dental technician with the appropriate guidance, can create a very natural looking tooth. In our practice, the dental technician typically participates in an initial appointment with the patient and as results mishapsare minimized. The only reason I can think of a dentist recommending PFM crowns for front teeth, is if the adjoining teeth consist of PFM crowns and you are not willing to replace all of them.
You really have 2 different options: A dental implant, which is the option closest to your original tooth, but also the most pricey one. A dental bridge,that will be attached to your neighboring teeth. Your dentist will examine you and establish which of the 2 options works best for you based on the health of your gums and teeth and your budget.
