Broken tooth?

Without photos or radiographs I would be only guessing. Options extract and place implant or fixed partial denture or removable partial denture or root canl build up and crown good luck Kevin Coughlin DMD, MBA, MAGD CEO Baystate Dental PC

Canine is Half Broken

It could be as simple as composite bonding to repair the tooth. If the pulp (nerve and blood vessels) is exposed you'll need root canal treatment and a crown. If the tooth isn't restorable, you'll need an extraction and an implant placed. The only way to know is to see a dentist for an exam and x-ray.
