My front teeth is crowned but the tooth is now infected will bridges be a best option now

Q. I have a front tooth which is a crown and have a infection under the tooth but its also loose im on medication for the infection if the tooch fals out can i get it put back on.?also is a bridge now the best option

A. If the tooth can not be saved the best option is an implant.  You can have a bridge but this will put stress and strain on the teeth next door to the gap, they will also need to be shaved down.
