I was in this same situation a few years ago......actually, I have lost the filling in one root canal and tooth chipped away around a filling in another root canal (parents never took me to a dentist as a kid ).
Anyways, the one that the filling came out, I just had them pull the tooth. It was right next to a wisdom tooth so you can't tell. You can have a bridge (which is a false tooth in the middle and then the tooth on each side of the false one is capped--its one peice, hence "bridge")
The second one, half my tooth chipped away from a filling. The dentist actually grinded my tooth down to a knub and I had it capped over. It looks like a real tooth.
They can do so much.....dentist even told me once that he could do a tooth implant I think he said something about putting a screw coming out of the jaw and through the gum
OOOOoooooo I just got goosebumps!
Good luck
