You should go for RCT of the tooth, and get a crown. Since it is an anterior tooth, I would suggest you to opt for an E-Max crown, as it has the best aesthetics. An RCT will cost around 2k-5k, while the crown will cost around 6k-8k (depending on your dentist)
Next Steps
Consult an Endodontist
Health Tips
Do not linger the treatment. If you cannot afford the E-Max crown, you can still get a normal Ceramic crown, which will cost around 2k-3k

How is the pain? And is it bleeding? If only the tooth is sensitive we can go for a filling with composite.
Next Steps
please take X ray to confirm degree of fracture...whether a normal filling can be done or root canal treatment has to be done followed by crown placement
Health Tips
don't bite with that tooth until treated
