Implant is a better option considering your age , despite having a higher cost. Implants prevent further bone loss in the area of previously missing teeth. For a bridge, the surrounding natural teeth have to be shaped and made smaller in size which can sometimes lead to sensitivity and the need to get a prophylactic RCT done in order to treat the persistent pain or sensitivity in shapes adjacent teeth.

Hello,
Bridges and Dental Implant has advantages and disadvantages of its own.
In case of Bridge, we have to take support of adjacent teeth and replace your missing tooth. Bridges last long and will be comfortable as well. Can't preserve bone height.
It case of Dental Implant, we just place Implant in missing tooth position without taking adjacent teeth support and given cap(Crown)over it. Dental Implants are much durable and comfortable. They preserve bone in that area.It appears closer to your natural tooth.
I would suggest you to go for Dental Implant provided if have good bone Support. You will appreciate presence of tooth (closer to your natural tooth) in the missing tooth region.
I hope, above info is useful to you in deciding to go for further treatment.
Next Steps
Please visit your Dentist and get appropriate investigations done and go for your suitable option
Health Tips
You will have to maintain your gums after bridge or dental Implant. If you don't, your gums will compose existing teeth in case of Bridge and Dental Implant Itself.

Implant is considered the best option nowadays. It also preserves the underlying bone from resorption. Crown and bridges on another hand compromises the adjacent teeth.
