jenny,
It means that the problem needs further evaluation AND the sooner the better just in case the implant needs to be removed.
You need a 3D dental scan. Ask you oral surgeon for a referral to a colleague who has that machine.

My oral surgeon kept telling me the bone looks good (again basing it on xray). I also mentioned this to my general dentist and she said something like, sometimes this can happen with the root of a tooth is removed.
Does this mean there is a lingering infection and that this needs bump/graft to be removed, as well as the implant?
