No need to replace wisdom tooth. Gap will fill by new bone automatically.

Wisdom tooth removal might also have given you sutures, if you have any sutures, get them removed after 7 days.
After 2 days of your extraction, resume all your normal activities like chewing, talking. Restricting your activities might cause tightness of your muscles which would in turn cause pain. So resume normal activities post 48 hours.
If you have any adverse habit like smoking or tobacco chewing, avoid that as well for a few days as it might affect the healing.
Next Steps
Rinse your mouth with luke warm water with a pinch of salt, this will aid localised healing.
Health Tips
Do not spit or rinse your mouth a lot for the 1st two days of extraction as it might lead to Dry socket.
