An alternative is a veneer. It's adhered to the front surface of your tooth.
Crowns done well can look absolutely beautiful and blend with other teeth.
Usually a porcelain veneer is a better choice if your tooth is chipped.
The skill of the dentist and the laboratory determine the appearance and outcome of the appearance and quality of crowned teeth. Particularly with front teeth don't take the cheap route and receive less than what is expected. Ask on facebook who has had a positive outcome with crown on front teeth.
Yes they do but you need to use the right material to match the natural teeth
Yes they will if you go to a dentist who is skilled in cosmetic dentistry. If you are depending on insurance to pay for it, then the crown might look bad because they pay for the cheapest possible crown. Front teeth are tricky, you may visit a local dental lab for a custom shade to enhance to look of your crown.
Yes crowns can be very natural looking. My suggestion is to be sure that the color matches in the chair before it is cemented permanently as you can still modify color before it is cemented if you aren’t 100% happy.
Yes, they can look very natural. With porcelain crowns (E-Max or Zirconia), the crowns look very natural. If a crown is recommended, review the options with your dentist. Maybe a veneer is only required.
Yes, the crowns on the front tooth look natural, but sometimes it's recommended to get crowns for both front teeth for better aesthetic results.
They do if your dentist is good with Cosmetic Dentistry.

Today's dental porcelain materials are so good that can mimic your tooth exactly or improve on the colors for multiple teeth if you want. Gone are the days when the porcelain is fused to metal, leaving a black line at the bottom of the crown,
Of course crowns on your front teeth can look natural, however, this depends on your dentist experience, knowledge, dexterity, and working with a talented master ceramist. For more useful information on porcelain crowns, click here: https://best.celebritydentist.com/porcelain-crowns/

Advances in technology allows your doctor to be more creative. In the past, aesthetics were compromised due to the materials available. Today, aesthetics is the main focus.
Matching a central incisor (front tooth) with a single crown is the most difficult cosmetic dental challenge. With a skilled dentist and lab, this can be accomplished. If your teeth are a particular challenge, sometimes the suggestion is to place a crown on one tooth and a laminate on the adjacent central incisor (front tooth). A small chip can usually be repaired with bonding, not a crown.
