It would depend on why the crown is loose. Is it the tooth as apposed to the crown that is loose, the post if the tooth had root canal, a fractured root, decay under the crown. All of these have different fixes.
Yes depending on if the tooth structure underneath is sound or if it could be repaired, need XRAY & intraoral photos.
Depending on the case it can be repaired, if is not broken and is fitting well it can be cemented again, as long as there is no cavity on the tooth.
Yes, there is no decay, it can be re-cemented or remade for a better fit.
