One of my crowns is cracked, does it need to be replaced?

Q.
One of my front crowns has a crack across the back. What should my next course of action be. Can it be repaired or does it have to be replaced.? I think it is a porcelain crown-both my front teeth were replaced by crowns on insurance after they were damaged after an assault incident. Thanks for your advice.
A.
It sounds as though you need your crown replaced

I have a chipped crown on one of my front teeth that has been there for ten years. It was fixed to a health toth because of grinding when i was younger. Is it difficult to replace his crown. Also i have a crown that is on a metal post but it is crooked can this be straightend or bent back or does it need replacing. Thank you
