Restore it: The tooth will either be restored with a filling, but probably a crown or veneer. Check with you dentist and get the best solution for your problem.

If: There is enough tooth structure to bond to a resin bonded filling may be possible. If the fracture is extensive, you may need a crown or veneer.
