Dental Bridge or denture?

I have a missing tooth in the back and my dentist and I talked about getting a bridge. I can't get an implant because of bone lose. My teeth are not in great shape, but they are better. In my research it seems that bridges can cause stress on the side teeth and if anything needs to be done to the side teeth a new bridge is required. Also cleaning can be tricky and bothersome. And like I said, my teeth aren't in that great shape. It seems a partial denture would make more sense in my case. What are your thoughts?
