I would suggest not to worry much. You can avoid biting hard food stuffs using your anteriors.If at all it creates problem in future implant would be a good choice rather than bridge
Next Steps
Think of a Implant later (if at all it creates problem)

Hi.. As it was fixed with the post the tooth is not that strong compared to earlier so you should not apply any force on that tooth like biting. If the tooth fractures again and if it cannot be replaced then the tooth should be removed. For replacing the single tooth you have 2 options one is implantation and the other is bridge. Bridge has to be placed by taking the support of adjacent teeth which means adjacent teeth has to be grinded. Whereas implant can be placed without damaging the adjacent teeth.
Health Tips
Don't bite anything using your front teeth, maintain good oral hygiene.

Hi, Avoid biting on anything with your front teeth. A bridge can be planned incase the tooth fractures again.

Certainly, you can go for a single crown to restore your fractured anterior lower tooth without opting for a bridge at this stage. It’s essential to follow a few precautions to ensure the success of the restoration and maintain your oral health: 1. Maintain Good Oral Hygiene: Proper oral hygiene is paramount. Brush your teeth gently but effectively, and floss regularly. Keeping your gums and the surrounding teeth healthy is vital for the success of the crown. 2. Be Cautious with Chewing: Initially, avoid putting excessive pressure on the restored tooth. Stick to softer foods and gradually reintroduce harder foods into your diet as your dentist advises. 3. Regular Dental Check-Ups: Attend regular follow-up appointments with your dentist. They will monitor the condition of the fabric post and the crown to ensure everything is functioning correctly. 4. Protect Against Teeth Grinding: If you have a habit of grinding your teeth at night, consider wearing a nightguard to protect your restoration. 5. Maintain a Balanced Diet: Eating a balanced diet rich in essential nutrients can aid in the longevity of your dental work. By following these precautions and maintaining good oral care, you can preserve the health and function of your restored tooth. Should you ever decide to explore the option of a single tooth bridge, discuss it with your dentist, and they can guide you on the best course of action based on your oral health at that time.
