Ceramic metal crown
When is a metal ceramic crown recommended?
A metal ceramic crown is a long—used and reliable method of prosthetics, which many choose primarily because of the price-quality ratio. The metal ceramic crown is based on a metal frame, on which a natural porcelain layer is applied step by step to achieve the most natural appearance of the prosthesis. The metal-free, fully ceramic version is called a pressed ceramic crown.
The metal ceramic crown is an excellent choice for the chewing area, but it can also be used in the anterior areas, although more and more people have recently been choosing metal-free zirconium ceramic or pressed ceramic crowns in this field.
The metal ceramic crown is made pretty quickly, so you won't have to wait long to see your beautiful smile. If you don't want to be without a tooth even for one day, we will make a temporary denture for you!

The eternal question is what to choose: a metal ceramic crown, metal—free zirconium ceramics or, perhaps, pressed ceramics?
Despite the numerous advantages of a metal ceramic crown, this type of prosthetics does not always provide the aesthetic and natural effect that a zirconium dioxide crown can create.
As already mentioned, metal ceramics are increasingly being chosen only for the posterior chewing area, however, due to its strength and excellent price/quality ratio, it is especially recommended.
Another difference is that metal frame crowns may have a gray rim on the neck of the tooth and the edge of the gum, while zirconium ceramic crowns do not have this disadvantage. Due to aesthetic differences, we primarily recommend zirconium ceramic crowns for the visible anterior area, and pressed ceramic crowns with even more outstanding aesthetic characteristics for the restoration of single crowns.
