A crown covers, reinforces and protects the top and sides of a tooth. It allows the tooth to continue to perform its function to support processing food being eaten. The tooth needing the crown has most likely been damaged as a result of decay or misadventure (broken in an accident).
Crown used to be made of gold but as gold has become very expensive crowns are normally made of stainless steel. Some crowns are also made of synthetic materials if they are not in stressful situations such as grinding and mashing food.
Because the gold and stainless steel can be unsightly, many are made with a ceramic coating to give it the color of the surrounding teeth.

Dental crowns crackle sound with ice cream type foods?
When you visit a dentist for your crown or bridge, your dentist will "prepare" - remove your old crown, remove cavities of your tooth, etc. Then your dentist will take an impression of your "prepared" tooth and send it to a dental lab. The dental lab will then make your crown or bridge to replace your "prepared" tooth. Depending on the lab, your crown can be very good or not so good. When your dental crown crackles it is because of your crown is not prepared well. For more information about Dental crown visit www.identallab.com

An anatomical crown is the visible part of a natural tooth, made up by dentin covered with enamel. A dental crown is a prosthetic crown crafted by a dental technician. A dental crown can be made as a full porcelain crown, but in most cases it is made by covering a metal cap with porcelain. The metal cap is used to give the tooth extra structural strength (especially in case of molar crowns) and can be made from metal alloy, gold alloy, or zirconium oxide (a mineral).
