Gold Crown
A gold crown is a dental prosthetic cap made primarily from gold alloy (typically 14k-18k) used to cover a damaged tooth.
Fun Fact
Dental gold crowns contain only about 58-75% pure gold mixed with harder metals for durability, and modern ones often use cheaper nickel or chrome due to rising gold prices.
