I had 6 crowns placed on my back upper and lower molars. Two top right, two bottom right, one top left, one bottom. Now my front teeth are hitting, they never did that before and i chipped two premolars because the premolars are hitting harder than the molars. The dentist wanted to grind down my front bottom teeth and i said no. The dentist keeps cllaiming i have proper occlusionn in the back but im telling you the weight is on the premolars and now my front teeth. What do I do. Help!

From a professional point of view, I can say that your canine teeth are a little too prominent than they should be. The tips of the lateral teeth, which we call our 2nd incisors, are not in line with the central, that is, the front incisors, they should be 1 millimeter shorter than these teeth,...
The best treatment option is braces treatment to express proper torque of the upper anterior. I can see chipping of teeth also started, so bite correction is needed in your case. I advise veneers followed by braces / aligners.
That is the issue with the crown. I think due to some error during cementation (if the crown is prepared properly in the lab). Normally that results in a gap in the cervical area and no proper proximal contacts.
