Objective Veneer chipping in bilayered ceramic restorations is a current problem reported with significant frequency. Clinical Considerations This clinical report describes the use of a monolithic, implant‐supported restoration with gingiva‐colored ceramics. Good esthetic and functional results were achieved with no complications reported after 3 years. Conclusions Prosthetic rehabilitation using monolithic zirconia may help to prevent complications associated with bilayered ceramics systems. Further studies are essential to provide long‐term data about the performance of this type of prostheses.
