A jacket crown, also known as a dental crown or tooth crown, is a type of dental restoration which completely encircles a tooth or dental implant. It is typically bonded to the tooth using a dental cement. Jacket crowns are often used when a large cavity threatens the health of a tooth. They are typically made from materials such as porcelain or metal.
