Is my eMax crown too big? If yes, what solution would you recommend? (Photo)

Question

I have had eMax crowns done for my four front teeth (central Ones are devitalized). I wanted natural looking teeth. I am generally happy with the result except that my right lateral crown ( left in the pics) seems to be too big and sticks out. My dentist tells me that she doesn’t notice it too much. I just can’t get used to it ( one week). In your expert opinion, are my teeth natural looking? Am I overreacting or should it be reshaped, filed, redone completely etc?

According to the images that he sent his crowns in emax have good size.
Possibly you are comparing the size of the emax crowns with the posterior teeth, it is normal that the emax crowns (front teeth) look bigger than the posterior teeth, since they usually have different sizes because they are different teeth.

I think that you may feel that way because the tooth behind it is pointed inwards making the lateral feel as though it were to be supersized.

In my opinion the 1 crown does seem a bit bulky and more prominent than the other side. I would suggest another session with your doctor and show these photos. Maybe they will attempt to modify it. 
By the way, the differences  are minor, and overall your teeth look nice.
