No need to go for an extraction and implant placement.
Your tooth can be saved with post and core treatment and then placing crown on top of that.
Next Steps
Visit a good endodontist.

It's better to take advice from your endodontist as he/she had seen the case clinically. You can ask for the viability for post and core option.
Next Steps
Please consult your Endodontist.

Cap can be placed but won't be durable. Teeth are having hardly any Natural support to hold the cap.
Next Steps
Visit dentist for clinical examination and better quality x rays

Hi!
I feel cap can be done on the tooth from the x- ray that is provided. But again clinically need to know the situation as to whether there is any mobility of the tooth or not.
If no issues, then tooth colored cap can be fit on both the teeth.
Next Steps
Visit the dentist and get your concern clarified as to why the tooth cannot hold the crown.
