I would like porcelain crowns on the NHS, please help.

Q. I am 45 and 10 weeks pregnant, I have a broken tooth which has previously had root canal work and been advised that I need all my crowns renewed (9 in total)I have been quoted £5k and have asked for NHS work. The dentist advised me that NHS do not provide porcelain crowns. Please advise me how I retain a “real teeth” look without having to adopt 9 lumps of metal in my mouth. My preference is porcelain crowns but anything remotely white will do. Please help me find an affordable option to my problem.,
A. To my knowledge you can have porcelain crowns on the NHS if clinically required

Can you please tell me why my lava porcelain crowns keep breaking after a year of having them fitted ? the slightest thing they crack ?? i had 3 front teeth changed and in my sleep one chipped and now i was biting a part of my nail as it was catching then the other cracked and chipped ? weak or what ? my dentist tells me its my fault and i should not eat hard things ???? At the £600 per tooth i paid i would expect them to be strong ?
