You have colors to choose from. The dentist will talk to you about this at a later stage.
The colors are white, silver, and gold. Of course people will choose white. My one is molar. People can't see, so I chose silver. The cost for my crowning is $350.

The tooth will not crack by itself if you don't do crowning, unless you chew hard stuff. I asked the dentist what he meant by hard stuff. He said: peanuts, crab shells, crushing icecubes with your teeth, crushing hard candies like Hacks with your teeth, etc. But even after crowning, you also have to take care of your teeth, because afterall the crown is 'cemented' onto your tooth. Heavy crushing action will still destroy the crown or cause to crown to dislodge.

Not really easily destroyed. It is still quite strong, but not as strong as the original tooth.
