gold crown

Royal gilded headpiece

A gold crown is a dental restoration made of gold alloy that caps a damaged tooth, prized for durability and biocompatibility.

Gold crowns were once standard but have largely given way to tooth-colored materials for visible teeth.

Separately, a gold crown is a monarch's crown made of gold, or figuratively, the pinnacle of achievement: The championship was the gold crown of her career.
