Crown
Also called cap, dental crown
A custom cover placed over a damaged tooth to restore its shape, strength and appearance.
A crown is a tooth-shaped cover that fits over a tooth that is cracked, heavily filled, weak after a root canal, or worn down. It can also anchor a bridge or sit on an implant. Crowns are made of materials such as porcelain, metal or a mix, and they are commonly made in a lab or milled in the office. Insurance often pays a percentage, applies a waiting period, and may limit replacement to once every several years.
Example at the front desk
After the root canal, he needs a crown, so I scheduled the prep visit and a delivery visit two weeks later.
