Missing teeth can be replaced with a implant or bridge.
Implant is independent of adjacent teeth support, if the bone quality is good, you can go ahead with implant.
Bridge needs the support of the adjacent teeth to replace a missing tooth.
Implant is a better choice
Next Steps
Please don't wait for too long as position of the teeth adjacent to the missing tooth tend to shift

An implant is one of the best methods. But there should be sufficient good quality bone in the area. An X-ray or CT is required to confirm this. Other methods are a fixed bridge or removable denture. Your dentist can guide you properly
