I planned an implant, but dentist advised bridge as a best option. I don't like the bridge she made: color & shape don't match my natural teeth. Dentist cemented it to my teeth and after that started adjusting the shape. She made it much thinner and grounded it too low now. I feel like the jaw is shifted to the right side.
