Chipped Teeth with Root Canal. One Dentist Say Crown Might Not Be Possible Another Suggest Post and Core?

Bobbie21
Hi One of my back teeth had a root canal (top 3rd from the back) just over a year ago and half of it has chipped off (another tooth had root canal over 10yrs and still fine). Went and saw a couple of dentists. one of them said probably wont be able to put a crown on it and said can fill it up with a filling (but won't last long). Another dentist said can do a post and core with a emax crown. neither has suggested an implant. So confused, What would you recommend?
