Could I have a dental bridge instead of having to have dental implants?

Q. Hello there, I have unfortunately lost two teeth (upper left) second and third from the end. Both teeth had crowns in them and broke within weeks of eachother. I did not see my usual dentist for the removal of the broken second crown and have an appointment next week. I have been advised by the emergency dentist that the root will need to be removed at hospital. When the first crown broke my dentist referred me to an implant specialist, which I know will be very costly. Could I not have a bridge instead? the 4th tooth in is perfectly good and healthy but the 1st tooth at the end broke around 1 year ago and has a large filling. Welcome your thoughts on what I can do. Thanks,
A. A bridge may be possible but will mean drilling down more teeth with the chance these might break in the future leaving you wore off, perhaps its worth getting a quote from the implantologist to see what it might cost
