As u said adjacent teeth r damaged so bridge ll b a better option as it preserve those damaged teeth as well as fill the gap of missing tooth. This ll b a cheaper option also.
Implants on the other hand are expensive n it ll cover only ur missing tooth space n u hav to go with artificial crown for the damaged teeth then also.

Hello sir,
Hope you are doing good. Implant with bridge is safer as your dentist said and dont worry much they will provide you better stability. temporary crowns are always on the spot crowns and they will not be contoured much. But the permanent ones will be perfect in fit, shade and size.

Hi... individual crown is always preferable wherever possible as it makes easy to keep interdental space clean( has to b flossed compulsory) and secondary if need arises in future you can remove individual crown and treat the situation instead of removing whole bridge( which may damage other teeth)....thus said all depends on the tooth condition and many other factors...if you needed further guidance plz consult me.
