I have a missing molar tooth. I want to replace it. What is the best option for replacing missing teeth?

The current gold standard is implant for missing teeth, but it is always a case by case basis.
Implants!
An implant is the best option. Probably the most expensive, but will last the longest with no chance for decay or little chance of fracture. And it is fixed in the mouth. Closest to feeling like a real tooth.
If you are a candidate the best option is an implant.
Best = Implanted tooth. Next Best = Fixed Bridge (crowns on adjacent teeth hold in the missing tooth...not removable). Cheapest = removable tooth (removable partial denture with wire clasps holding onto neighbor teeth).
