You should visit a dentist near you and start the treatment . If the fracture is involving the pulp then you have to get RCT done, in some some cases post and core is also done. if the crown part is not sufficient.

Broken teeth can be very easily restored. Treatment options vary depending on how much tooth structure is lost. Rather how much tooth stucture is left. Ideal situation would be that the tooth is partially broken and not involving the meaty pulp inside the tooth, is not infected or decayed and there is no pain or mobility. Then the tooth can be restored with just a filling material. If you managed to damage it beyond this your options are to either save the tooth with root canal treatment or say good bye to it forever.
Next Steps
Get an intraoral examination and X-ray(radiograph) done at a dentist to evaluate the current condition.
Health Tips
There are many options available in restoring or replacing a broken tooth. Make sure you get properly informed about your case before you take a decision.
If there is any possibily of saving the tooth and not extracting it, should be a preffered treatment modality.

Hello sir, You need to get an x-ray done firstly in order to see whether that tooth can be saved or not. If it can be saved then a root canal followed post and core and a crown. If the tooth cannot be saved then you can either go for an implant or a bridge.

Hi, Firstly, get your tooth evaluated clinically. The treatment plan would depend upon how much tooth is broken, whether is close to nerve or not and what symptoms you have. Sensitivity test might be performed along with X-ray.
If Tooth is asymptomatic and it is not close to nerve, then a tooth colored filling can be done in a single- sitting. If the nerve is involved, then RCT would be required followed by onlay or post and core and crown. That would take multiple sittings.
Thanks. Dr. Harleen G. Kalsi (New Delhi)

Firstly get a X RAY done, that will confirm whether the tooth can be saved or not , and if possible then a RCT followed by a POST AND CORE followed by a crown can be done.. If the tooth can not be saved then an implant would be the first choice, if not than a bridge would be the second choice.Charges depends on the treatment advised based on ur case
