Answers:
If you broke a tooth and they shaved it down and put a false tooth over it temporarily, it is called a temporary crown (cap). In order to replace the temporary they must make a permanent crown (cap) to put over the tooth. This would be made at a dental lab and color match the rest of your teeth. Both of these would be cemented to the tooth and would not come out.
If the tooth broke a bit they may have put a white filling (also called a composite filling) on the tooth and that also would not come out.
Don't worry about being embarrassed, just ask them to look at the tooth and make any recommendations. If you have questions they will clarify it for you.
Good luck-

You may need to have some bonding done or may need a crown. It depends on how much of the tooth is broken off. You don't need to know the terms. A dental practice has the responsibility to explain to you what your options are and what the cost will be. They should be able to project the longitivity of the repair. Good luck.
