Can my teeth be treated with crown without post? (Photo)

jyshrekDec 17, 2015
My teeth was treated with veneer after accidental crash which broke my front teeth. During regular check up, my dentist(not the same dentist who performed veneer) told me that I may need to get crown with post since the teeth has been partially removed during veneer installation. He is not aware of my teeth condition right before veneer was attached..but I always thought I will get all ceramic crown if something happened to my veneers. Please help me.based on attached pic taken before veneer.
