A Metal-Free, Natural Look — The All-Ceramic Crown
100% metal-free glass-ceramic (E.max) crowns that transmit light like a natural tooth. They give the highest aesthetic result especially on front teeth and form no grey line as the gum recedes. Biocompatible, non-allergenic and with a 5-year written guarantee.
The Aesthetic Crown Closest to a Natural Tooth
An all-ceramic crown is a fully ceramic-based crown that contains no metal. Its most popular type today is known as IPS E.max (glass-ceramic), made from a high-strength ceramic called lithium disilicate. Because it transmits light like a natural tooth, it gives the highest aesthetic result on front teeth.
With no metal substructure, no grey reflection or edge line forms. It blends perfectly with the gum and the aesthetics stay intact even if the gum recedes over the years. It is a biocompatible material and an ideal solution for patients with a metal allergy. It is precisely produced with CAD/CAM digital technology and fits your tooth perfectly.
- Those wanting maximum aesthetics on front teeth
- Patients with a metal allergy or sensitivity
- Those with tooth-colour mismatch or shape irregularities
- Those seeking a biocompatible solution or renewing old PFM crowns
How Is an All-Ceramic Crown Made?
A precise, aesthetics-focused process from digital planning to bonding.
Digital Planning
A digital scan and smile analysis are done. A design preview is provided so you can see the desired result in advance.
Session 1Tooth Prep & Impression
Under local anaesthesia the tooth is minimally shaped. A precise impression is taken with a digital scanner and a temporary crown is fitted.
Session 1CAD/CAM Production
A custom crown is made from all-ceramic blocks with CAD/CAM technology. Precise shading is applied for natural light transmission.
3–5 DaysBonding & Check
The crown is tried on the tooth and fit and aesthetics are checked. After your approval it is fixed with special adhesive. The 5-year guarantee begins.

Common Questions About All-Ceramic Crowns
The questions asked most often before treatment.
Both are metal-free and highly aesthetic. All-ceramic (E.max) has a glass-ceramic structure with slightly higher light transmission, so it looks a little more natural on front teeth. Zirconium is more durable and preferred for back teeth and bridges. All-ceramic is ideal for the front 4–6 teeth; for the remaining areas zirconium is usually a better choice.
IPS E.max is a lithium disilicate glass-ceramic material made by the Swiss company Ivoclar Vivadent. It is the most preferred brand and system in the world for all-ceramic crowns. It provides both high strength and excellent aesthetics. It is regarded as the system that gives the most natural result, especially on front teeth.
All-ceramic crowns give an ideal result especially on front teeth (incisors and canines). They can also be applied to premolars and single molars. For very long bridges (4+ units) or very heavy teeth-grinding, zirconium may be preferred as it is more durable. The decision is made by the dentist after examination.
With quality material, correct application and regular care, all-ceramic crowns can last 15–20 years or more. Their lifespan depends on oral hygiene, any teeth-grinding habit and chewing forces. At Kadıgil this longevity is secured with a 5-year written guarantee.
All-ceramic crowns are more expensive than PFM crowns because the material quality, production process and aesthetic results are top-tier. However, considering their longevity, natural appearance and biocompatibility, they are valuable as a long-term investment. They fully prove their worth especially where front-tooth smile aesthetics are concerned.
The tooth preparation needed for an all-ceramic crown is minimal — similar to or less than for a PFM crown. On front teeth and for purely aesthetic treatments, porcelain veneers require even less cutting; that option can also be considered. The decision is made based on your tooth structure and wishes.
One of the biggest advantages of all-ceramic crowns is that no grey metal line forms even if the gum recedes. Because the crown edge is also ceramic, the aesthetics aren't spoiled and your tooth keeps looking natural even years later. This is one of the main reasons they're preferred on front teeth.
The price of an all-ceramic crown varies by the number of teeth to be crowned, the ceramic brand used and the application type. It is more expensive than a PFM crown and close in price to zirconium. A tailored written quote is provided after examination. There are no hidden fees.
