What is a dental crown? The anatomy of a tooth can be divided into two basic parts -- the root and the crown. In a person with healthy gums and bone, the root of the tooth is covered by the gums and bone.

A cemented restoration that partially or completely covers the outside of the clinical crown is referred to as a dental crown or cap.
