Hey there,
Yes it can be filled to form an esthetic shape and contour.
There are various options that you can go for.
An xray will give us a picture as to which of the options will be a right fit for you.
Options include -
Direct Composite build up
Ceramic Veneers
Crowns - which is the most invasive process

Hi.. you should visit the dentist and get the X-ray done. The tooth could be restored by placing a cap or crown over it. You may have to get the Root canal treatment done if the broken part involves the nerves.
Depending on the extent of the fracture, treatment cost can vary with Cosmetic filling 1500-2000/- to Root Canal treatment with crown 6000-15000/-

Don’t bite anything hard with your broken tooth

Hie.. it can be reformed either using tooth coloured filling or crown/cap..
filling is permanent but that solution is temporary and u need to take precautions of not biting from the front teeth..
next option is .. permanent crowns/ veneers by the Prosthodontist..
and there is no side effects of both the treatments ..
Cost of filling will be arnd 1500-2000 per tooth
Crowns would start from 2500-15000 depending which material you go for..
veneers would cost you approx. 10000 onwards
Next Steps
Consult Prosthodontist/cosmetic dentist for the same

It can repair but filling not persist for a longer time. You should go for a rct first and then capping but after an x-ray we came to identify that rct is needed or not. Without rct you can go for a crown also if pulp is not exposed. Cost of crown depends on a material.Its upto you which material u want.
Next Steps
consult a nearby dentist
