In dentistry, a crown, also called a dental cap, is a type of dental restoration that completely caps or encircles a tooth or dental implant. A crown may be needed when a large dental cavity threatens the health of a tooth, and some dentists finish root canal treatment by covering the exposed tooth with a crown.
