Typically if you have sound solid bone to support an implant, the implant is the way to go! It replaces the missing tooth, and there is nothing to decay in the future. To have an implant placed and ready to restore can take a number of months. In the end it is an extremely reliable solution to a missing tooth.
Usually crowns and bridges can be expected to last around 15 years. Some
last longer as I've seen ones that have been in function for 30+ years.
Implant on the other hand should last for the rest of your life. Can there
be issues and complications? Of course, but if everything is healthy
implants should outlive bridges.
