Implants: Dental implants are great for anchoring a lower denture. You can have as little as 2 but ideally 4-5 will provide best support, and if you want "teeth in a day" see a board certified oral surgeon.

Yes: A bridge will depend on the support of the anchor teeth. Implants will also depend on amount and quality of bone.

Yes: Yes this area responds well to bridges supported by implants. Other factors determining success are bone support, condition of adjacent teeth/gums and your general medical health. Make sure you see a dentist with much implant experience.

Lower Front teeth: First question is whether or not your lower cuspids, #22 and #27 , are sound enough to be bridge abutments? If they are, the easiest choice is a bridge from cuspid to cuspid and many patients do very well and are happiest with this option for many years! mini implants and a partial denture to be retained by those minis is more complicated, likely more expensive , and harder to get used to!
