Hey hi,visible crack in the ceramic or composite layer of a front crown bridge is seen
Next Steps
You need to visit your dentist for a clinical evaluation and an X-ray to check the health of the underlying supporting teeth.Depending on the depth of the crack, your treatment options will include micro-abrasion and composite resin bonding to smooth and seal the crack.
Health Tips
Avoid biting directly into hard foods like apples, carrots, or bones using your front bridge to prevent the crack from spreading or causing a complete fracture of the ceramic layer. Maintain gentle oral hygiene by brushing teeth twice daily.

It is not paining yet but an x ray is a mandate.
Then u can go for either veneer or a crown depending if rct needs to be done or not.
