Protective tooth shell
A dental cap is a protective covering placed over a damaged tooth, also called a crown.
Caps restore the tooth's shape, strength, and appearance after decay, fracture, or root canal treatment.
They're typically made of porcelain, ceramic, or metal: She needed a dental cap after cracking her molar.
