Hi!
I feel cap can be done on the tooth from the x- ray that is provided. But again clinically need to know the situation as to whether there is any mobility of the tooth or not.
If no issues, then tooth colored cap can be fit on both the teeth.
Next Steps
Visit the dentist and get your concern clarified as to why the tooth cannot hold the crown.
