silver crown

Monarch's metallic circlet

A silver crown is a dental restoration—a cap covering a damaged tooth, made from silver-colored metal alloy rather than tooth-colored materials.

Silver crowns are durable and inexpensive, commonly used on molars where appearance matters less: The dentist recommended a silver crown for his back tooth.

In other contexts, a silver crown is simply a crown made of silver, whether royal headwear or decorative object.
