<human>: Condense the text into a few key points

Here's the situation - I had some dental work done on my tooth (root canal on my second bicuspid to be specific). About 10 months later, I was eating some cereal and I felt the same tooth sort of crack - it didn't hurt at all though. No big deal I thought. 

I went to my dentist and he said it was fractured; he then proceeded to snap the fractured half (which also happened to be the visible, outside half of the tooth) off and recommended that I get a $2000 replacement/fix. As a poor college student, I can't afford this.

I'm coming to reddit because I'm desperate. I feel vulnerable when I smile now, like everyone is looking at the gap in my teeth. This problem is affecting every aspect of my life. Are there any cheaper options? Please reddit!
<bot>: The visible, outside half of my bicuspid is gone. I can't afford my dentists $2000 repair option. Do I have other options?
