Yes, your second molar can potentially last for many years after the wisdom tooth is removed, provided the second molar is healthy/restorable and properly treated. However, no dentist can guarantee that it will definitely last 12–14 years based on this X-ray alone.
Next Steps
Get the second molar checked clinically and have the wisdom tooth removed if your dentist confirms that it is causing damage or is impacted.
Health Tips
After wisdom tooth removal, maintain good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups. If the second molar has decay, get it treated early to improve its long-term survival.
