Are Temporary Crowns a Preview of the Final Crowns?

mika7839
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
