Hi. I'm so sorry that you are going through this. It's somewhat hard to assess this only because there are so many factors involved. For one, if your bite is heavy in a certain area, that would increase the likelihood of a fracture. If the dentist didn't remove enough tooth structure, then an area that is very thin is more likely to break as well. If we assume the dentist did everything right and this is happening, then I would say that it's important to use zirconia crowns for strength. There is nothing stronger that we can offer for a crown other than a zirconia crown. To be specific, 3Y monolithic zirconia is THE strongest. This isn't the most cosmetic option but can still be made to look great. As far as temporary solutions go, you're not going to find something strong enough that's made of temporary material. More importantly, any temporary solution isn't going to fix the core issue of a misaligned bite or improper reduction of the tooth. Ask your dentist to fix the underlying issues and you'll get the result you were hoping for.
