Is it better to have an Implant or a bridge for a missing tooth

Q. I have a front tooth missing am 40 what is the best thing to have a bridge or a implnt thankyou

A. An implant is by far the best restoration to replace the missing tooth. It has the highest success rate of any treatment and it doesn’t depend on the adjacent teeth for support. You will probably only have to have the implant done once whereas with a bridge this would have to be replaced within your life time
Kind Regards

hello, please help me make my mind up on what to do.
I started off with implants that were put into my front bottom gums.One failed and one is still in there.I’m at the point where I have the dentures in for now until I was healed.I am now having to make the decision if I want to still go with implants or a bridge. I’m so tired of having this denture in my mouth and want this to be over with.My dentist asked me if I wanted to go with the bridge instead so that I won’t have to wait any longer and plus I won’t have to go threw the surgery part of the implants which i’m very stressed about. But I really need to focus on what’s better in the long run for me even if I am stressed about surgery…help me understand this better please?
