Can I get lumineers on top of crowns for a gap

Q. I have porcelain crowns on my front 4 teeth. Can I get Lumineers on top of them to help with a gap that has begun?

It is possible to use lumineers over your existing crowns. But of course the cosmetics and longevity maybe questionable.

I personally first would find out why the gap has suddenly formed and make sure this does not happen again.

I would also consider having the 4 crowns replaced to achieve optimal aesthetical results.
