Brief Answer:
Ceramic crowns are good option. Which tooth going for crown?

Detailed Answer:
Hello Mr. XXXXXXX

Thanks for consulting Ask a doctor service
This is Dr. Priyanka tiwari answering your query.

I have read your query and understand your concern. As far as dental crowns are concerned different types materials are available for crowns .

Porcelain or ceramic crowns provide the best and most natural look.
The best option for front and ppsterior teeth.

Porcelain fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns are another widely used type of dental crowns. They provide both strength (due to their metal structure) and aesthetics (due to the porcelain coat that covers the cap).
The metal in these crowns may cause a grey line at the gumline. This may not give the 100% aesthetic look that all porcelain crowns provide.

Zirconia is a relatively new material that combines the strength of metal with the aesthetics of porcelain crowns. Great in aesthetic and costly then other crowns . Mostly for front teeth.

Metal crowns are good in strength but indicated for posterior teeth not for front teeth.

As you have choosen the ceramic crown that are good option for both anterior and posterior teeth . Ceramic crowns are tooth colored and cost effective.

Can you tell that which tooth you are going for crown replacement- front teeth lr posterior teeth?.

Hope this will help you .
Thanks and regards.
