If the teeth on both sides of the extraction are solid, bridges will work well, and will retain the spacing of existing dental arch.
Implants are the "latest and greatest" and do work well - but there are less invasive alternatives. My husband had a bridge for 20 years - and it worked great until the tooth on one side fractured - so he got an implant.
Before jumping in, I think investigation of alternatives and alternative pricing is a good idea.
