Is it possible to replace my extracted molar to address the unevenness in my jaw ridge and alleviate the pain?

Following the extraction of two molars on the same side, I've noticed an uneven and sharp jaw bone ridge. I'd like to avoid jaw recontouring and am considering replacing only the front molar to prevent the discomfort caused by the denture rubbing against the pointed, sharp bone ridge where the back molar used to be. Is this a feasible and effective solution?

After the extraction,sometimes there may be bone prominences and those are shaved with a surgical procedure called alveoloplasty in order to correct the bone sharpness in the relevant area and your existing complaints disappear This is not a situation that changes your facial contour.
