Hi Pam,
Your bite is going to go through changes for awhile as the inflammation in the bone settles down. Your bite should not be adjusted until the extraction sites heal as that is when the inflammation will be healed also.
You do not need to replace the wisdom tooth. Replacement options for the pre molar depend on several factors. Some options may be a dental implant, a permanent bridge or a partial denture. It is best to discuss these options with your dentist.
Hopefully the pain that you were having has diminished and everything goes well for you!

Also I'd really like some opinions on replacements. I had thought to just leave to spot empty but now my front teeth are really butting each other.
