how big of a cavity can the dentist fill?

I haven't had dental insurance in ten years and am a self supporting graduate student. I'm going into the dentist today because I have a cavity that has caused about 1/4 of my tooth to chip off. It doesn't hurt to eat or anything so I don't think its gotten down into the root. Do you think the dentist can just fill this? Its my lower right premolar. I really don't have the money for a crown....
--------------------
Probably. Usually the determination for a crown is how deep the problem is. A good dentist should be able to take care of that unless there are underlying problems. Cavities don't always hurt, neither do cracks.
