I think you had fractured teeth,and problem was esthetics .
Now if problem is because of caries we usually clean cavity and do fillings but in case of fracture tooth we make grooves on surface so that fillings get retention .
Next Steps
Go for iopa xray maybe you may need rct followed by crown.

Hello,
Matter of concern for us is that it is front tooth and fractured. It must have undergone trauma. It is very important to rule out for RCT for future concern. Go for an x-ray.
Dont delay the treatment.
If possible you can take second opinion from nearby endodontist.

Visit dentist get xray done. If fracture is extended to pulp then its better to get root canal and cap done. I can see discoloration of tooth so mostly it needs rct still confirm with x ray. Many times patient wont get pain but there will be infection in bone leading to cyst so better be sure with x ray.
Next Steps
visit dentist and get x ray done

Get a second opinion regarding the treatment sir. In my opinion an iopa(x Ray) of the fractured tooth is needed to confirm the diagnosis and treatment plan.
