I hate my 8 front crowns so much I cry (done for a cosmetic improvement). Is it too late to fix them? (Photo)

Question

I had 8 front crowns placed to correct crocked teeth &I hate them. Before my teeth curved inward, now I have a massive overbite I hate. Before the process they told me I needed my gums laser reshaped. I did this, now the permanents are placed and my gum line is awful. Giant space above one crown. My front 2 teeth you cannot tell in pic but the gum line does not cover the top of those crowns well. Color is not white enough. They look to big. I hate everything :( I have a follow up scheduled

Hi:My suggestion is to share your concerns with your dentist in the follow up appointment.  There are adjustments that can be made to the existing crowns to make it look more natural.Best,Dr. Maddahi

I would suggest complete replacement of these crowns.  Unless you like super white and opaque teeth, then you are fine.  With the right lab, even with very white colors, a skilled lab technician can blend enough colors so that they look real.
