They give a natural look because they transmit light like a natural tooth, do not leave a gray line along the gums, and are biocompatible, which means that the body does not reject them. At the MonDent dental office in Banja Luka, a metal-free zircon crown costs 400 KM per tooth, and the Premium version costs 500 KM.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Below we bring you a precise, practical guide: types of metal-free crowns, the difference from classic metal-ceramic crowns, when they are recommended, how long they last, and what you really need to know before sitting in the dentist's chair.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are metal-free crowns?<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Metal-free crowns (also known as metal-free ceramics or full ceramic crowns) are prosthetic replacements that are placed over a ground tooth or on an implant. Unlike classic metal-ceramic crowns, they do not have a metal base under the ceramic, but the entire crown is made of high-strength ceramic material.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main difference in practice: a metal-free crown transmits light similar to a natural tooth, so it looks completely natural even when the gums recede over time. A metal-ceramic crown, when the gums recede, reveals a darker line at the edge, which is the biggest aesthetic problem of the older generation of crowns.<\/span><\/p><p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8031 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/mondent.ba\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/mondent-bezmetalne-krunice.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mondent.ba\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/mondent-bezmetalne-krunice.png 1200w, https:\/\/mondent.ba\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/mondent-bezmetalne-krunice-300x158.png 300w, https:\/\/mondent.ba\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/mondent-bezmetalne-krunice-1024x538.png 1024w, https:\/\/mondent.ba\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/mondent-bezmetalne-krunice-768x403.png 768w, https:\/\/mondent.ba\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/mondent-bezmetalne-krunice-18x9.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Types of metal-free crowns (zirconium and E.max)<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two main types of metal-free crowns used in modern dentistry today:<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.
