Tooth upper back (26) is half broken

Question

Asked for Male, 41 Years

Tooth crown broke in half 2 years back, should I extract the tooth? Or implant , what type of implant? Bridge ? Permanent fix? Or root canal? This half broken tooth doesn't give any problems other than food get stick and I can't chew on that side. As I am not taking it out, Is it harming me inside? Is there a way a false teeth crown can be placed. I mean the root canal and then a false teeth? I heard that if I don't put anything then slowly the gums will collapse from both side. Please suggest also a very good genuine dentist. Thank you. Regards
