Visit a local oral and maxillofacial surgeon for physical evaluation, x ray and treatment (most probably complete removal of remaining tooth).

Visit a dental surgeon and ask for an x ray..probably it has poor prognosis so extraction is most possible management and after that prosthesis can be planned.
