Share a picture. If its just a little chipped, a proper composite filling will help and if its big then a zirconia crown will do a good job.

How did the filling break?
Was it due to accident or it broke by itself?
There are two options:
- get a proper filling done
Note: fillings will not withstand too much pressure so you have to be careful.
- or you can get a crown(cap) in that tooth.
Next Steps
Consult online or visit dentist for proper diagnosis and treatment plan
Health Tips
Always send pictures with your queries.

If the chipped of part is broken repeatedly may be t you can ask your dentist for a full coverage restoration like Crown for the said teeth. Else composite restoration under improper occlusal load may break. Check it with your dentist for further consequences.
