I have fixed bridge, before this I have removable dentures for 8 years. Now, I'm having problem with pronunciation of words with S, T, TH and X. Is it because I have open bite or I just feel uncomfortable with this? Pls help.

Sometimes that works but it's not usually a long tem solution. The solution with the best prognosis is to place an implant in the space where there's no tooth.
You have 3 options depending on where the piece is broken off:The best option is of course get a new bridge, the second best option is see a cosmetic dentist to repair the fracture via dental bonding, and check your bite. I have treated many patients with dental bonding for repair of porcelain...
Depends on how big the gap is. Sometimes we could add bone/ soft tissue (ridge augmentation) to plump the site again. you could see a periodontist for a consultation and explore surgical options.
