I : I can not answer cost questions as it varies by region and complexity of what is done. However you have three restorative options. A removable retainer for the tooth. A fixed bridge that stays in your mouth. Or an implant with a crown. No one can tell you more without a complete exam. So call a dentist real soon to get your problem resolved.

If : If you don't have any restorations on the adjacent teeth of the broken tooth, the best long-term option is in the following order: 1) dental implant with a crown (fixed) 2) bridge (fixed) 3) flipper (removable) it will take you at least 4-6 months to go the implant route and 1 month or less for the bridge or the flipper route.
