Seeking info to make decision on best dental procedure

[ERJ]

I have broken a chunk off of an upper molar. I am not having any pain. I am 81 years old, have all my own teeth, and have never needed a filling, crown, root canal, etc., so I am a total novice when evaluating my options; i.e. a crown, an extraction and bridge, a single tooth implant, etc. Where can I find straight forward information simple enough for an "aging novice" to understand my options? Thank you in advance for any advice you can provide.

Best option would be to see a dentist in person. He can then explain or show examples of the different treatment options based on your scenario.
