Restoring the decayed part with esthetic restorative material will be the ideal solution, if at all the decay has not reached the pulp. If it is deep and involves pulp, the ideal solution is to go for Root canal treatment followed by crown of your choice.
Next Steps
Kindly do visit your nearby dentist.
