If you r not having any pain.... u can just go for replacement of cap (crown) on ur tooth.
but before u proceed for any treatment, u have to take xray and confirm for good health of this tooth.

Have a consultation with your dentist... Take an x-ray and replace the cap... Do not delay because once if the tooth fracture, your tooth cannot be saved... Once after clinical examination only, the treatment plan can be confirmed...
