I will get a dental crown next week. What are the disadvantages of a dental crown?

Disadvantages to a crown are 1) cost ($1,000- $1,600 range) and 2) moderate tooth reduction of the enamel layer to make room to strengthen it with gold, metal, or porcelain. When indicated, it can save your tooth from fracturing, breaking down and sensitivity.
None, just still floss to keep bacteria from causing cavities under it
