Teeth nightmare!

Two of my lower back teeth have cracked badly, down into the gum. Weakened since DCs. I am not in any pain or discomfort but my dentist has said they are not suitable to be crowned. My options are have them pulled out and:
a) have a big gap- they are beside each other.
b) get 2 implants costing £6,000! 😣
c) bury my head in the sand and ignore the problem until they start giving me pain.

Don't want a huge gap, can't afford implants! What would you do? SadSad

How far back in your mouth are they, top or bottom? That would impact what I'd do. I am not sure how fast they can do implants, but they have to insert a post into the gum so your mouth would probably need to heal before you could have that done anyway (DM's post got rejected by her mouth both times so she couldn't even have an implant). Any chance you could save up or pay off an interest free credit card? Any chance they could do a bridge?

Two bottom ones furthest back. What's a bridge?

Not being sarcastic but how many people look into your gob op??
Have a gap and buy a handbag/shoes to cheer yourself up instead - much cheaper!!

I have a number of back teeth removed, the gap feels massive if you tongue it but it doesnt look it at all. NO ONE i know even realised i had missing teeth, hell why would they?! Get them out, save that money for somethign important x
