Flap surgery may be helpful. But as per your case good prognosis is doubtful.
I think you should consult with doctor online or offline for better guidance and treatment options.

Hello you will need flap surgery for sure.. lower front four teeth will go and a bridge would be preferable as already canines are slightly compromised it will be like a splint to join them together with bridge . Apart from that need to check clinically how the back teeth are . Amount of mobility in them . Based on bone loss you may need a LANAP procedure as conventional flap surgery can worsen the situation sometimes
Next Steps
Preferably get an offline consultation

Yes, you certainly need flap surgery and graft as well. The tooth which has grade 3 mobility needs to be replaced with either bridge or implant. ( depends on your budget).
