The 3 teeth seem to be quite infected. Only one tooth is treated for a root canal infection and seems to have a temporary dressing. The plan of treatment should be RCT of all the teeth involved followed by appicectomy if necessary. The prognosis is moderate if done well.
Next Steps
Consult an Endodontist

It depends on how much the infection has spread .. antibiotics only suppress . Apicocectomy may be an option if there’s a sureity that the infection will not recurr

You definitely need root canal along with apicectomy but I give a guarded prognosis for your problem
But it’s still worth trying with this option
Next Steps
Plz go ahead with rct and apicectomy

Be ready if that option fails for implant or a bridge
