Yes: You can have the tooth in question extracted. And yes, dentures are fabricated to replace missing teeth.

Not wise: Best (least expensive) rx is to complete the root canal treatment and have the tooth restored. Extracting tooth can be done successfully, but then the extracted tooth has to be replaced, which is more expensive than doing the root canal/restoration treatment. Denture for one lower front tooth is very unsatisfactory. Not replacing missing tooth can lead to bite collapse. Please complete your rx.

Yes/yes: However i would encourage you to call your dentist and work out something to complete the root canal. It is the least expensive in the long term!

Care credit: With Care Credit you can finance expensive medical and dental-care treatments and have an option to pay it off in 12 month, no interest. Another option is that you will have to check with your family to see if he can help you out, or maybe dentist will give you in house financing? Saving a natural tooth through endodontic treatment should always be the first choice. Good luck.
