My tooth is really small because it has been grinded down over the years, what can I do to fix this?

Q. When i was eleven old i got my lateral incisor fitted with a crown because i found that they were pointy and small. I did the crowns over 11 years after and the dentist did a terrible job. Now the tooth has been grinded down so much that they are really small. I need to do over the crowns now 4 years after. Would veneers or lumineers be a better option for me so that they would not have to be grinded down any further? Please let me know asap. thanks.,
A. veneers ( lumineers are a make of veneers) are used to restore the shape and colour of teeth with minimal damage to the underlying tooth structure. However your situation does not allow for veneers to be made as you already have crowns in place. In this situation the only way forward is to have new crowns. The old crowns can be removed with minimal damage tooth remaining tooth if carefully done
