I had a root canal years ago and a crown which recently came loose After checking with several dentists I can either do an extraction and implant or another crown Area looks good but one dr suggests crown lengthening to have more tooth with which to hold crown Is this common and if my root canal roots all look good is it beats to try and save tooth and crown vs extraction Can this bone cutting crown lengthening cause a fracture? How do u insure tooth does not have fracture before starting

Hello. As far as I can see from the photos, crowna on your upper two central incisor teeth are slightly darker than the other teeth. In such cases, it is possible to obtain the same color by renewing the prosthesis, this problem can be easily solved with a correct laboratory phase.
You probably know us dentists' answers will be not to smoke at all! That being said, smoking shouldn't affect the teeth, but may discolor the temporary material faster than it would a natural tooth or a permanent restoration. Smoking weed also may significantly lower your pain tolerance...
The prosthesis design with 8 teeth in the current plan will be much more aesthetic. 6 teeth can only be an alternative for a more economically feasible treatment.
