This is very common and expected outcome when tooth preparation is done for putting a cap/crown on it. Tooth is reduced in size so that when the cap is put on, it looks natural like adjacent teeth. Just avoid too hot or cold food till the dentist gives you a temporary cap.
Next Steps
please ask the dentist for a temporary cap if the sensitivity is severe
