What to do when you only have room for one implant?

What to do when you only have room for one implant?

 In this situation, the patient had two primary teeth in the anterior mandible that had a poor five year prognosis.  The two teeth were extracted and I decided to place one NP Nobel implant and cantilever the restoration.  I only had room for one NP implant.  Would you treat the same way, or place the one implant in the embrasure, try to place two even smaller mini-implants or prepare the adjacent canines for a fixed dental prosthesis?
