tooth crown
Tooth's protective cap
A tooth crown is the visible part of a tooth above the gumline, covered in enamel.
The term also refers to a dental restoration—a cap placed over a damaged tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance: She needed a crown after cracking her molar.
Crowns are made from porcelain, metal, or ceramic materials.
