You should visit a dentist and get X ray done. The tooth could be restored by placing a cap or crown over it but only after root canal treatment if the broken part involves the nerves.

Hello,
You need to visit an Endodontist who would take x-rays and see if a intentional RCT treament is required or if they can build up the tooth using cosmetic tooth coloured fillings.

* It would need a Root Canal and Crown after confirming the extent of damage through X-rays.
* If not a possibility, you might have to get it extracted and go for implant supported Crown.
