Default Crowns or Bridge

I have my four lower front teeth crowned. After losing 2 of these crowns and the peg on one of them breaking I was initially advised to have the four teeth re-crowned (I understand that root canal treatment will need to be done on the tooth that has the broken peg). It has now been suggested that extracting these 4teeth and having a bridge may be a better option.
Due to the fact that I have recently come through treatment for osteoradionecrosis (following head and neck radiotherapy) I am very concerned about going down this route and feel that the crowns would be a better option.
Any thoughts would be very welcome.

certainly, you should avoid extractions where possible
