Your treatment plan can be better decided if there was Opg attached here. As per treatment plan followed by extraction is always replacement of that tooth as soon as possible

Itâs always better to replace the missing tooth. If you leave the space as it is ,there are chances of migration of adjacent and opposing tooth to missing space and you will loose the harmony of bite you have now.
You can go for implant or bridge (as per your oral conditions clinically)
Next Steps
Consult a prosthodontist

It is advisable to go for bridge or implant whichever is suitable as the 7th teeth is responsible for chewing your food. So if you leave the site as it is it can cause negative impact on other tooth. So consult at the clinic for the same.
