Hey , the first thing that you need to get is an x ray for that area . The fact that u lost your milk tooth at such a late stage in your life suggests of presence of permanent tooth below (in the bone ) this can be confirmed on an x ray only . Following it ,if the tooth is present then check with the orthodontist if it's favourable to pull that tooth out . If yes then you might need to undergo sectional orthodontic treatment . If the tooth is absent then you need to think of a replacement . Permanent replacement can be done in 2ways either by a bridge or by an implant placement .

Your question itself contains the answer. The best way to replace a tooth is through an implant although it may not be the most economical way. The other option is a fixed Bridge using support from adjacent teeth. But the best treatment plan can be finalized only after revaluation of your dentition. Please visit dentist for a proper clinical examination so that the most appropriate treatment options can be explained to you. Regards.
