My doctor recommends crown but I’m concerned about my natural tooth’s future appearance?

In elementary I was pushed on the ground because a group of kids were running in my direction, and as I fell one of my front tooth chipped. I went to the dentist and I believe they did a refill on that tooth. About 8 or 9 years later it came off as I was flossing. The dentist did a refill on it again and said she’ll do a crown in a few months, but I’ve been researching when people take off their crowns and it doesn’t look too good, but aren’t crowns suppose to restore the natural tooth?
