If you can afford it, get the implant, as there should be no fitting
problems or damage to other teeth as a result of a bridge. My wife has
a bridge (2 teeth gap I think) and she hates it. On the other hand,
one CAN get a good bridge which may be better than my wife's and not
bother you.

You might consider doing what I'm doing, which is to go to a major
dental school to get the implant. The oral surgery is done by students
who are already practicing dentists, and under strict supervision. You
will save about 50% at most schools.
