It’s better to avoid chewing on that tooth until you get the crown inserted on that tooth. Advanced crown that is suggestible is zirconium crown.

Yes if the filling is complete and tooth is restored you can chew but not hard substances. Soft and everyday food can be eaten. You can go for zirconia crown on the tooth

Avoid eating hard food till you get a crown done. Ceramic or zirconia crowns are good to go for.

Since we dont know the extent of your caries and how much crown build up was done, we think its better to avoid chewing on that side. Zirconium crowns are strong as well tooth coloured. so function and aesthetics wise its good enough. For any more queries, please visit us at Shambhala dental spa and wholeness, Hyderabad.
