I would like to replace old crowns which are in the aesthetic zone.The current crowns look like I have an overjet (which is not the way my natural teeth looked like). I was wondering if the temporaries will be made to look like my current teeth or will the dentist make new temporary teeth as a 'trial smile'.From what I know (in one of the places I'm considering) the temporaries will be made in office.Since I need a few I was told the temps would be a bridge.Otherwise it would cost more.Thank you

Answer: Are Temporary Dental Crowns a Preview of the Final Crowns?
To get a fantastic result for your new front crowns, make sure you have the right cosmetic dentist. A great cosmetic dentist will first listen to what you want to improve from your current crowns. He will then make a simulation of the proposed changes, these are usually the template for the new temporaries.
When done with finesse, the new temporaries ought to be a representation of your new and final look. After the temporaries go on, then you have another opportunity to discuss how you like them with your dentist. Afterwards, the dentist can communicate with their ceramic lab to add in even more features to make your new smile amazing.
You need to have a lot of confidence BEFORE you start anything with your new crowns.

Answer: Yes, temporay crowns should be a preview of the finals
Your case should be waxed up to desired outcome prior to touching you teeth (or old crowns). The wax up is the blue print to the final outcome. So you can with-in limits, modify the shape and size of the teeth and the bite in the wax up.
You then make a guide to transfer the information from the wax-up to the mouth so that the temporaries will look like the wax up. Now you and the dentist can see them and determine if this is what you want. You can still modify the tempories and then take an impression of the temporaries so the lab can use them as a guide for the finals. The temporaries are a trial run for the finals, in form and function.
Yes, they should be done as a bridge since it would take far too long to make them individually and they will stay in place better.
Good luck
