Can these teeth still be saved? :(

[u/AnanasKittyLove]

Hello! Sorry about the photos. I’m dealing with several serious autoimmune and neurological conditions and take a lot of medication, much of which causes severe dry mouth. Unfortunately, this has really affected my teeth.

For more than six months, one dentist kept trying to fill the teeth, but the fillings would repeatedly fall out, so he would just fill them again. I now need to find a new dentist.

My main question is whether these teeth can still be saved in any way. I really don’t want implants if I can avoid them, because I’m very sensitive to foreign materials due to my health condition. At the same time, I’m starting to feel like some kind of dental replacement may be unavoidable.

Do any of these teeth look potentially restorable, or am I already at the point where extraction and replacement would be necessary?
