Hi there,There are many ways to revive your smile.
In your case it seems to be fixed partial denture or FPD as we call it,
which is 9 years old generally it depends on the dentist who did it and the type of material used based on which after regular follow ups its decided wether after some years the crown or bridge needs to be changed or not
So now your bridge and the abutment tooth needs to be assessed and changed if need be
In my opinion metal free crowns for anterior is the best option if you have an aesthetic concern.
Next Steps
visit your dentist for a follow up
Health Tips
and also maintain a very good oral hygiene when using fixed bridges it increases the longevity of the prosthesis
