Bridge ruins the two other teeth, they will need to be capped forever. Bridges (and crowns) trap more bacteria. Bridges most likely will need to be replaced after 10 years. Bridges costs around 2700 per pop now (you will most likely replace it at least once if not twice in a lifetime).

Implant costs approximately 4700 total (implant 1700, top tooth, 3000. I may go somewhere else for the top part, since that seems awfully expensive). It's good for life, it's like a tooth. It doesn't trap bacteria like a crown or bridge does. I would go implant.

About six weeks ago, I got the post for an implant. I need to wait 3 more months to get the tooth put on. I have a steel post sticking out of my jaw, but it's in bottom, so it's not noticed. Took about 3 weeks before all pain went away, but I'm glad I went this route.
