I am wondering down the road after rhinoplasty , if/when I need to have some new front dental crowns replaced, how careful or cautious do I need to be? I know when I had them removed before a lot of pressure and pulling. The last thing if want us to be bumped in my nose. Any thoughts appreciated.

I would call your dentist's office and explain your concerns. I feel certain that they will want to get you into the office and evaluate the crowns. If they are leaking, they will likely replace them with new ones. Good luck.
Just because you have a crown, doesn't mean that the tooth has to be sensitive, especially if the preparation of the tooth for the crown was conservative, and did not approach the pulp. Each tooth has different anatomy. Also, the pulp responds differently based on the number of times the tooth...
I would not have an issue using a Zirconium abutment in this situation. The restorative doctor needs to be sure that the crown does not take a great deal of occlusal forces when you close. That will drastically reduce the risk of fracture and improve the aesthetics...
