hi there, i am a dentist, well first, was your tooth fracture associated with trauma and/ or the fracture is very close to the pulp. if it is then first a ROOT CANAL THERAPY followed by a crown depending on the extent of fracture. if only a small peice of the tooth is chipped off, that is less than 1 mm, a simple reshaping, if more than 1 mm, u may need a composite build up. removing the tooth and keeping false teeth should be the last option.

They will probably put a cap on your tooth. You would need to be mising alot of teeth to get false teeth. So in my opinion they will probably cap it. When are you going to the dentist? The longer you wait, the better the chance it will decay.
