What to do?: That's a question that cannot be properly answered over the internet sight unseen and without the availability of x-rays. First, one must question why you've had such problems? Secondly, crowns on natural teeth cannot be combined with crowns on implant teeth as a combined unit. I suggest you make sure you are in the hands of a competent restorative dentist and discuss options. Get 2nd opinion.

Possibly: It depends on how much they were damaged when the bridge broke and also will depend on where the implants need to be placed.
