Front crowns too "thick". Can front crowns be shaven down to match my other teeth?

mlps
I foolishly got crowns on my two front teeth about 10 years ago. I immediately regretted it. I really have perfect teeth but they very transparent. I noticed cracks in them and showed the dentist. He suggested crowns. I feel like they are bulky and stand out compared to my other teeth. Is there anything I can do to replace the crowns or modify them to blend in with my other teeth ?
