This option is very durable while matching the same shade as your teeth. However, dark lines around the tooth may be visible; thus most patient prefer to have them for back teeth hence not as visible.

All metal:

This option is the most durable however at the mercy of aesthetic appearance. They would not match the color of your teeth.
