porcelain crown
Ceramic dental restoration
A porcelain crown is a tooth-shaped cap made of ceramic material that covers a damaged or decayed tooth.
Dentists fit crowns over teeth that are too compromised for fillings but still have viable roots.
Porcelain matches natural tooth color better than metal alternatives: She got a porcelain crown on her front tooth after chipping it.
