permanent crown
Lasting tooth cover
A permanent crown is a dental restoration that caps a damaged or decayed tooth, restoring its shape and function.
Unlike a temporary crown placed while waiting for the lab work, a permanent crown is cemented in place and meant to last years or decades: The dentist said I'd need a permanent crown after the root canal.
Materials include porcelain, metal, or ceramic.
