Hello sir,
We will have to check with your x-ray to check the extent of fracture and treatment will be according to it.

Hi,I have to check the extent of fracture initially after that only we can decide the treatment protocol.If the fracture is minimal we can fix that with composite filling or veneers or crowns.so we have to see your clinical photograph and X-ray.You don't have much side effects on full ceramic treatment..for anterior teeth you can go for zirconia crowns.
Next Steps
visit a nearby dentist

The 2 options depends on how much amount of tooth structure is lost from tooth breakage. If the broken tooth is minimal, composite filling would be sufficient..extensive loss of tooth structure requires root canal treatment followed by a cap

If the ceramic filling can withstand the pressure in the area then it is ok. If there is not much tooth structure to support a filling then crown may be required. However if there is chance of nerve involvement a RCT may be required before a crown. Another option is an inlay/ onlay. Ask your dentist about it
