Portion of my tooth has broken off and is still in my gum

Q. Portion of tooth is gone and another portion just broke off but is still in the gum– I have no benefits

 

A. If the root is still sound the tooth can be crowned. Otherwise it sounds as though the tooth needs to be removed. The options then are either-

1. Leave the gap
2. Fill the gap with a denture or bridge or implant.

As far as cost goes you will have to discuss this with your dentist.
