There are many options to close the space.
But as per your age I would suggest either go for Implant or orthodontic treatment.
You can also go for bridge.
Now this completely depends on the amount of space and amount of bone.
Next Steps
Visit a local dentist and get it Physically evaluated and an X-ray followed by treatment required.

Hi.. Sometimes milk teeth will retain till a certain age of life when there is no permanent tooth formed in place of that tooth. But milk tooth will not have strength to take up the chewing forces of adult so in later stages they will come out.
Next Steps
In your condition, if you have adequate bone and space in the missing area then you can go for an implant followed by a crown. If not you can go for a bridge.
