We have metal ceramic and all ceramic crowns.
Metal ceramic crowns have an inner metal which is covered by a ceramic layer.
All ceramic maybe zirconia, translucent zirconia,monolith or e max and are generally termed as metal free crowns.
Depending on the area of crown placement your dentist will decide the best suitable option for you.
Thanks.
