you need to visit a dentist and get it checked. get an x-ray done. if there is infection to the roots of the tooth, you need to get it treated. then get crown placed over that tooth. if not, then you can go for composite or ceramic veneers.

Hi
As u mentioned about the front two teeth need to be examined to check the extent of fracture and mobility of the tooth.
1.If the fracture is limited to enamel or dentin then it can treated cosmetically. 20min time
OR
2.If it's pulpal (nerve and blood vessels)involvement then RCT followed capping. 4-5 days
Next Steps
Get the x-ray done.

It needs clinical evaluation to check for tenderness and mobility and xray to check the extent of fracture.
If its the enamel and dentin, then a cosmetic filling or veneering is all that you need.
If it involves the nerve, then root canal treatment and capping is required
Next Steps
Visit a dentist

Options are many, you haven't mentioned number of teeth involved. If it's only enamel and dentin as you mention, then it does not involve any major surgery, minor treatment options do not require a long healing period. In fact you can have a provisional teeth and get your smile back as early as possible.
Next Steps
Best solution and possible options can be best suggested if you can upload an x-ray of the teeth involved.
Health Tips
Get yourself examined by a dentist near you.

Hello, After an clinical evaluation (to check mobility and remaining tooth structure) and an X ray evaluation if it shows that its only involving enamel and dentin and not the pulp then an aesthetic filling would be the best option. If its just a filling then its done on that very sitting only and you can walk off the dental office smiling in one sitting!

The treatment will depend upon the mobility of teeth and the extent to which the teeth have fractured. You should consult with a dentist near you.

Hi!! Depending upon the amount of loss of tooth structure the treatment will b decided... Treatment varies from tooth color filling( in case of minor tooth loss) to crowning of fractured teeth( major) with or without root canal treatment ( will b decided by dentist).after the treatment your teeth will get back to its normal shape n size just like a original teeth.
