Yes you need to replace your missing molars as soon as possible , because the adjacent teeth might migrate in the gap causing dental caries on proximal surface of them subsequently resulting in pain and pathologies. You can choose from various methods of replacement like Implants, fixed bridges or removable.

As a thumb rule the tooth which has been lost or extracted must be artificially replaced at the earliest
You can opt for a fixed prosthesis such as a full ceramic or Zirconium which is the best
If you don't replace there is every likelihood that the opposite tooth will move to that area of extracted site.
The adjacent teeth will also shift and become loose
Eventually there will be several other issues relating to food impaction , gum disease , inability to chew and digest etc
