Need an emergency dental work

Last night, I just broke one of a top front tooth into half. I had an appointment with an emergency dentist in Whitby( http://www.discoverydental.com/dental-services/emergency-treatment/ ) this morning and asked him about this then. He said that I would either need a dental extraction procedure or have a crown put on it. But I don't know if it is necessary to take a crown. Should I have my tooth completely removed or get a crown? Getting the crown would be more expensive than taking the complete tooth off. It even hurts very badly when I eat something hard or even when my tongue touches it. I just wanted to get some information from experiences you all may have had. I really want to get this fixed as it is affecting my self-esteem. It is making me incredibly self-conscious. Thank you!

I have never experienced that. good luck!
