Crown does not match my other teeth. What can I do to fix this with no insurance? (Photo)

kmorgan8Feb 26, 2018
I had a chipped tooth that I wanted fixed. My dentist told me a crown was my best option. Porcelain. The first one turned blue and did not fit my bite. Long story short I have had this crown replaced 4 times and it is still discolored and not the right shape. I have recently lost my job therefor have lost my dental coverage.
