No better: actually what you had is better than crown crown is preserved to a tooth that lost some of the surface so instead of removing it the crown will save ir by replacing the lost surface
you are good

Where: Where is the crack. Depends on its length and location. See your Dentist. Evaluation/treatment by an Endodontist may be in order.
