    You could have that tooth capped to match the others.

    How is that a problem?
    Look at Dave Letterman's gapped tooth smile. He capitalizes on it and is a billionaire.

    You can have a material added to the bottom ( or top, depending if it is upper or lower tooth) of that tooth to give it length. The material is a white or tooth colored. A good DDS can add this and no one will even know it is there. It will cost a lot less then having a crown done. This will be considered cosmetic, so your dental ins. Might not pay for it (if you have dental ins)
    I hope this helps you out.
    GOOD LUCK
