This can be due to receding gums,crowns might be ok. The only thing is that if the gum receeds there is a big chance of having the root exposed, and this will make the tooth to be sensible. Of course Xrays needs to be seen, but if it is what I think, based on your description, then you will need or either change the crowns or perform a gum technique to restore the sensitivity. I hope this helps.
