Hello
It mainly depends on the depth of cavity that whether you should go for crown or no.
Actual protocol should be to do RCT and then give crown either porcelain or PFM.
Giving crown on a tooth with just laser filling is not advisable.
May be your cavity is approaching the pulp.
Better diagnosis can be made after doing X-ray.
