I had a gum infection and now need root filling, should I get an implant instead?

Q.
i have a gum infection which antibiotics did not get rid of, my dentist said 2 leave it for three years. My new dentist said i need a root filling on front tooth and a re root filling on the tooth my other dentist did, what is my best option. If my tooth was to fall out would around the mouth go saggy, if i got an implant?
A.
I can’t tell from your description so I would go with the suggestion of your new dentist
