Once this happens the tooth is no longer restorable.  The best option for replacing a tooth is by using a dental implant.  Ask your dentist about this procedure and if you are a good candidate for it.

They will need to be replaced, but it should not hurt taking them off.  They should be able to be improved.  Good luck.
