A lot of people here seem to think you have an infection -- but I think you mean aesthetically it is unappealing and sticks out past your natural teeth. Unless you are experience pain and swelling in or around that area you probably don't have an infection so don't worry about that.
I assume you mean that the crown/fake tooth doesn't match your other teeth anymore. It is normal for your natural teeth to change over time so the artificial ones don't seem to match anymore. I don't know how old you are and if your parents are paying for your dental care.
If they are, talk to them about it first because any kind of dental work like that can cost a lot of money.
If they are okay with replacing the tooth then go to your dentist for a consultation. You can discuss your concerns with the dentist and come up with a solution that you are all comfortable with.

Yes but why do that when you can get veneers or bonding. With bonding, you can have the tooth covered in a white material to match your other teeth. WIith veneers, you can get the tooth covered. Veneers are moree expensive.
Good luck to you!

I dont see any reason why not visit your dentist and ask him/her for information that at least is free (or used to be )
