If money is a major issue and the gold crowns are on back teeth you might want to consider keeping them.  Almost nothing in dentistry holds up as well as gold crowns, in fact most dentists compare all restorations to the "Gold Standard"While I place less gold than in the past it is still a top choice when longevity is a priority.

Everybody wants a whiter and brighter smile. If finance is an issue, it's a good idea to try some over-the-counter whitening products, for example crest strips. As far as the three crowns that you want to replace, it might be a good idea to do the crowns one at a time. Start with the one that is more visible and the one that bothers you the most. After a few months you can replace the other two crowns.
