I would suggest you to consult an Implantologist if u wish to replace the lost tooth ... So at the time of extraction you can get your implant placed at the same time .. Or you can opt for a bridge after extracting that root stump . Visit a good dentist and take your call .
Next Steps
Visit Dentist Asap.

If only the root of the last molar tooth remains, it is best to get it removed.
As to how it can be removed, it is very easy for the experienced dentist !!
(that is their profession.) Do not worry, it can be removed even if nothing remains at the surface.
