Prop your mouth open with a kitchen fork. Have an assistant dry out the
tooth with a blast of air from those computer cleaner cans of stuff. It
will both dry it, and send you into ecstatic realms of pain from the instant
super freezing. You will go into another state of consciousness
temporarily, probably Michigan. Then have the assistant use the same thing
dentists use, SuperGlue, to temporarily put the crown back on. HOLD STILL,
or they will glue it to the inside of your mouth, to another tooth, to their
own finger, to your tongue, or all of the above. Keep the mouth propped
open long enough to allow it to dry. Your urge and ability to scream should
be going away just about the time you pop the fork out. If you can get it
out.

If it doesn't work as planned, call either 911 or a funeral home.
