Unhappy with full set of crowns, badly suited to my face - what are my options? (photos)

Question

I was unhappy with my teeth, as they got stained easily and I wanted a whiter, bigger smile to feel more confident. I had 2 aims, whiter + bigger smile. The temporaries didn't look right but I didn't get to see the final adjustments bf the day of cementing, and bc of novocaine my face was swollen. Now they are done, I feel terrible. I feel they don't suit my face, are way too long (like dentures) and make me look older. I didn't see it bc of swelling at cementing appt. What do you recommend?

Because you have crowns, your natural teeth was shaved (Prep), for that you need to update your current crowns, you should go to the dentist that did the job and ask them to do the shaving to reduce the size.OR you can update by a new set of crowns, zirconium or Emax crowns.However keep in mind that crowns need the same care then your natural teeth needed, brushing twice (morning and before bed), dental floss, mouth wash, and if you want to keep white for longer, avoiding soft drinks (Cola drinks specially), red whine and coffee (you can drink with straw to avoid the contact with your teeth).
