Need dental treatment post abcsess

Q. I had a fronr tooth capped due to absess some years ago i came out some time ago and a dentist said that the rest of the tooth has to come out i agree with this but i am terrified of dental work i want to have either an implant or a bridge inserted but the gum where this tooth was has receeded [where they cut my gum to remove the absess]please advise me of the best option i am 65 and suffer with copd

A.

Usually I would recommend an implant because the research shows that they last the longest.  However you would need to be assessed for bone volume for the implant and have the aesthetics carefully assessed
