onlay
Partial dental cap
An onlay is something laid or applied on top of a surface.
In dentistry, an onlay is a restoration that covers part of a tooth's chewing surface—more extensive than an inlay but less than a full crown: The dentist recommended an onlay rather than replacing the whole tooth.
In decorative arts, onlays are ornamental pieces attached to furniture or other surfaces.
