I would go for the implant, if you think this dentist is fully qualified.

If you get an implant it will only effect that one space. If you get a bridge, they will have to grind down the two teeth on either side of that space so that they can have the ends of the bridge put over them .I would go with the implant because then you will have normal toothbrushing and flossing afterward as well. Plus you won't be grinding down perfectly good teeth.

At your age it's a no-brainer -- Implant.

Amy G has hit the nail on the head......go with the implant and crown.
