Implant is first choice of treatment
But first need to check the bone available for same,
And yes bridge is second best option u can go for if adjacent tooth are firm and not mobile.
What is best for u will be decided only after clinical examination but yes these two options are best for a fix prosthesis.

Hello .
Implant is the best option.
Bridge is also a good option but only disadvantage is that we need to reduce the side teeth for the support and if any problem arises in those teeth whole bridge needs to be removed sometimes.
So the best option is implant

Hi.. Implant is the best option. Considering your age,you should go for implant with immediate temporary crown. Even while implant is healing you can have tooth at least for looks. Dental implant is most durable and better solution between bridge and implant.
Next Steps
get your cbct scan from x ray clinic.
Health Tips
Get implant and temporary crown from experienced dental implantologist.

Hi. If sufficient bone is available, it's always suggested to go with the implant. If sufficient bone is not available and if adjacent teeth are strong enough to support, go with bridge. Hope this helps.
