Hi,
Dental implant is recommended as it can be easily placed in place of decayed tooth without taking support of adjacent tooth. On the other hand, bridge is an alternative but second choice as it includes support from adjacent tooth and only then a bridge can be formed.
Next Steps
Both are accepted and reliable mode of treatment.
Health Tips
Choice hugely depends on patient's affinity and cost factor.

For decayed tooth best treatment is root Canal treatment and if it's wrong rct just get re-rct done
If it is extracted then implant is best
Post x ray if you have any

Dental implant a small titanium cylinder is placed in the jaw bone at the site of missing tooth.that cylinder bond with the bone tissue to create an artificial root on the top of which an abutment and later an artificial tooth are placed. With a dental bridge a pair or crown are installed onto your natural teeth on either side of the gap.those crown are then used to create a bridge that holds an artificial tooth .The gap is covered but the artificial tooth is not actually fixed to the jaw
