Crown fell and gum pain when pressed

Question:

I have a frontal crown, but after hitting a hard piece while eating, it got loose then fell off including the pin. Root canal is very close to gum line. Also gum hurts when pressed(close to nose). This started 10 days ago. Do I need just to have it cemented back? or gum surgery or implant. Thank you.
