Would i be better looking at implants for my teeth?

Q. I am in the process of getting a bridge with 8 teeth fitted this was suggested due to the fact I previously had a bridge fitted to replace a canine tooth some years back. I recently had to have the other canine removed as I had an ulcer under this. This was treated a number of times over a few years but it continued to return so it was suggested this should be removed. It was then suggested that I have a full bridge covering 8 teeth all of the top front and the 2 at the other side of the removed teeth as this would look much better. My question is would I be better looking at implants? My present dentist says this is the best way forward for me stating implants my not look as good. Thanks in advance for your reply.

A. A bridge will normally mean drilling down teeth to anchor it in place. when a bridge fails it normally takes another tooth with it so the whole thing needs replacement. i would definitley look into implants as this would keep the teeth  independent from each other and avoid the need to drill down teeth. perhaps a 2nd opinion might be worthwhile?
