Hello and thank you for your question. Yes I trust the treatment plan that your dentist is providing based on the information given to me by you.  The tooth that is broken off at the gum line is serving no purpose and would be better removed than retained.  You are at an increased risk of infection and abscess formation leaving the broken tooth in.  When you get a bridge you need to have strong abutment teeth to hold the bridge in place.  If the teeth are mobile then they are not good candidates for bridge support.  Best wishes and good health
