The most common problem caused by eating disorders is from acid erosion dissolving the tooth surface. Once the harder outer layer has been removed the inner layer can wear away more easily. If this is the main reason for your teeth crumbling then simple tooth coloured filling will protect, restore function and look good. As you want to change the shape and appearance of your front teeth I suspect you will need to crown them, however to keep costs down you might do a medium term fix with filling.

Check out your hospital personnel dept for employee insurance schemes, teeth ones are common. Often they do have limits on the value of a claim and are generally more costly for the average person. However crucially for you occupational schemes are generally worked out as risk across the whole company, they do not discriminate if you need a lot of treatment soon after joining. Often you have to be a member for 3 months before starting a claim.
