Figure 1. Crown of the tooth. The teeth are made up of two major parts: the crown and the root. The crown of the tooth is what is visible in the mouth (Figure 1). The root of the tooth is the portion which normally not visible in the mouth and is anchored within the bone (Figure 2).
For the front teeth, the area closest to the lips is called the labial surface. For the back teeth (molars and premolars), the area that faces the cheeks is called the buccal surface, and the biting (chewing) area is called the occlusal surface.
