loose crown

I had a crown done few years ago. I know I have to get it retreated and the crown done all over again. I noticed yesterday that my crown was loose, is that a bad thing?

Most dentists don't do payment plans but they do some type of financing.  Otherwise, I would suggest taking care of the tooth (removing it) if it hurts and saving up to pay the cost up front.  If you do that, some dentists are willing to give a courtesy discount of some sort for that.

I don't know if my first message went through, would a tooth implant be ok? I'm trying to find a dentist office who will let me make weekly payments, I've had no luck finding any dental office that will let me do that type of payment plan. I was hoping maybe you would know of a few places. Thank You!

Yes, its possible that there's a cavity underneath the crown and its destroyed the tooth underneath it.  If that's the case, the tooth may not be restorable and may need to be removed.
