I'm not sure what you mean. If a crown was broken, it needs to be replaced with a new one. You can attempt to patch it up but it should be replaced as it is now more prone to future fracture. A new crown costs ~$700-1500.
If it was a natural tooth (not a crown), it makes more sense. In that case, it might be a bit steep for a composite (1 appointment) but cheap for a resin inlay (2 appointments).
