I had a root canal done on tooth #12 that has broken. I went to get the tooth evaluated and it could be retreated and crowned, but I'm not sure I want to go that route. I also have issues with tooth #14. It has a deep filling and needs a root canal according to the endo but I don't want want to invest money into a tooth that will eventually fail.

I'm seriously considering extracting both teeth and looking into restoration options. My dentist has recommended implants but my insurance doesn't cover them and they are extremely expensive. I asked about a bridge and was told they are only for consecutive missing teeth. I have researched a little online and I've seen options that should make a bridge possible for this situation. I do not have my wisdom teeth but the surrounding teeth are in tact though 15 has been filled.

Can anyone provide any experiences or recommendations? I don't want to disagree with the dentist without any actual knowledge. Thank you!
