Most probably the teeth will go for root canal treatment. But get a xray done for proper investigation.

You can get veneers and there will be certain food restrictions then ...
If you go for RCT and then capping that'll too need certain hard nuts etc restrictions only for the front teeth.
Next Steps
Get an XRay IOPA of the teeth to see if the roots are involved. if not then we can proceed without RCT but if involved RCT will be a must.
Health Tips
In most cases like these roots are involved. It might not be but that's rare.
