Made of zirconia or lithium disilicate for maximum aesthetics. No risk of dark discolouration of the gums or a metallic taste. Higher fracture resistance thanks to the monolithic design. More biocompatible for patients with metal allergies. Harder to repair than metal-ceramic if it fractures. Requires a perfectly balanced occlusion because of its lower flexibility. Costs 25-40% higher than traditional designs. Suitable for the front of the mouth, where a natural appearance is crucial. Comparable lifespan (15+ years) with proper maintenance.
