As it is the anterior teeth you can go with zirconia which has more natural look

Consult a dentist by a visit to clinic to examine the teeth to be crowned..Different materials are used to fabricate a crown depending upon the condition of teeth e.g PFM( Porcelain fused to metal), Zirconia/ ceramic or All metal crown..Cost will depend on the type choosen as all of them have them some pros and cons with zirconia crowns being the best for front teeth..
Hello !
There are a variety of materials for fabricating crowns for upper incisors. I shall tell you they are
1. Porcelain fused to metal
2. All ceramic - pressable ceramics (high translucency best esthetics)
3. All ceramic - zirconia with porcelain layering (preferably to mask the underlying discolored teeth )
Option 1- 3500k-4000k per crown
Option 2/3- 7000-10000 k per crown . Also can rise further depending on quality and warranty
