First we need to know how long ago did you get the root canal done? Is it done well? How is your periodontal health and the adjacent teeth? If the answer to all these questions is positive, ie
a) your periodontium and gingiva surrounding the tooth in question and general oral hygiene is good.
b) Your adjacent teeth are strong and healthy.
c) The root canal was done properly and the tooth was sealed well. How deep below the gingival margin is the chip?
Then, i believe you can save your tooth still with a full crown on it. You need to visit an endodontist for specialist opinion. An x-ray of the tooth will confirm the status and prognosis of the tooth.
