Can I Get the Gap in my Front Teeth Reopened After Having Crowns Placed?

I have always had a gap between my 2 front teeth, last year I got my front teeth crowned I specifically asked my dentist to retain my gap. Reason being, I thought it was beautiful my mom has one & I had one(we matched!). Unfortunately the space she left is only big enough to floss & I now hate my front teeth, I'm self-conscious when I smile & I don't like that feeling. What are my options at this point? I plan to have extensive work done in my mouth on vacation(implants in the back). Pls Advise
