I really don’t want to get a denture when fractured front tooth is removed. Can I get a bridge at a later date?

Q. My upper one left central requires a crown. after an X ray it looks as if there is a fracture in the lower part of tooth, it would appear after having canal treatment on this tooth that it would not be possible to have posts put in as it is to soft for posts to hold. I may have to go to hospital to have this removed. as this is one of my front teeth what in your opinion be the best treatment as I really don’t want to have a denture, and can not afford a transplant. would it be possible to have it extracted and later when it was healed up have some kind of a bridge. I hope you can help because I am really lost as what to have done.,
A. A dental implant would be the best option this cost approx £2100.00 Your next option would be a bridge you can have a temporary one made to be fitted straight after the extraction, then after approx 3 months have the permanent bridge fitted. Privately a bridge cost approx £600.00 per tooth you would need either 2 or 3 teeth to suppport it.
