Just one thing you should be sure to check: how the crown reacts to UV light. Real teeth fluoresce!
Unfortunately, a surprising number of manufacturers don't take this into account when formulating ceramics for crowns.
It's quite disconcerting to find yourself in a night club, unable to smile or talk properly because of the huge black gap in your teeth...

- jstanley 9y agoHow interesting. I just tried this, and you're right! I don't think it's a huge deal though. I have had my false tooth for nearly 5 years and never found out it looks different under UV until now.
