Dentil molding is an important decorative element in neoclassical architecture because it adds depth, texture, and interest to the façade of the building. The dentil molding is usually located at the top of the cornice, which is the part of the building that hides the underside of the roof overhang. The repetition of the dentil molding adds rhythm and harmony to the building's design, and it also gives the building a sense of grandeur and importance. The dentil molding is an iconic feature of neoclassical architecture and has become synonymous with this style.
