Crown (tooth)

In dentistry, crown refers to the anatomical area of teeth, usually covered by enamel.

The crown is usually visible in the mouth after developing below the gingiva and then erupting into place.

If part of the tooth gets chipped or broken, a dentist can apply an artificial crown.

They are cemented to natural teeth or implants surrounding the space where the tooth once stood.
