What you are asking to have done is called enamelplasty.  The cost should be minimal to have done.  I would have the dentist make the changes in small increments since if they take off too much you cannot put it back again.

Correcting the midline is a definitely correctable condition with several possible treatments including bonding, veneers, and orthodontics.  The key is to visit a good cosmetic dentist that can see your particular situation and advise you of your unique choices.  Good luck!

You stated that they are replacing ill fitting crowns.  As long as the temp crowns are well fitting and cemented properly there should be no problems with getting decay or with them popping off.  If one does pop off you can always recement it.
