Hello Mam, Yes we can do crowning of your teeth. But ideally before crown might have to do RCT to the tooth depending on how sound your teeth.
Next Steps
disadvantage is chance of pain if no RCT done later and you should avoid bite from front teeth to increase life of the crown
Health Tips
don't worry go ahead and get a beautiful  smile .. best wishes

Yes u can obviously go for crowns and good quality crown looks completely nature , emax and zirconia crowns are recommended for front tooth But it all depends on the natural teeth alignment of your tooth , since your tooth is attrited (grind) at so young age , there may be the cause that your teeth is not aligned properly or u may have also the habit of bruxism(griding teeth in night especially ) Therefore treating the root cause is first important thing , the cosmetic part ie the placement of crown can be done along with it
Next Steps
Please visit ur dentist , as clinical and radio graphical examination will decide the treatment plan
Health Tips
If u have the habit of clencing your teeth , please pay attention on it.

Hi... It is necessary to find the cause of your tooth wear... You must go for restoration of your lost tooth structure with the help of veneers or crowns. This procedure needs good planning and evaluation for great results. Considering your age and profession, you must get it corrected as early as possible.      To know disadvantages and alternative options you must visit for consultation.
