Should I get a Maryland or cantilever bridge and how long would they last?

Q. Good afternoon, I recently had a front tooth (post crown) removed due to an infection, i also lost a lot of bone at the same time. ive worn a denture for 6mths and its healed well but im not sure which bridge is more suitable for me (i cannot stand the idea of an implant as i would prob need a bone graft and also it would mean another 12mths for healing) i waver to the maryland as is less invasive, but feel the cantilever may give me a better look and last longer (although my teeth at either side are 100% fine and this bothers me to mess. which bridge do you feel to be the better in looks, feel & how long they last? im so desperate to get my smile back! thank you so much ,
A. Hello If the teeth either side of the gap are both unfilled I would try out an adhesive bridge if your bite is suitable, drilling a healthy tooth may cause problems when you\’re older
