Is there an option other than implants for a missing second molar?

djacks2313
I just had my lower right molar removed 4 days ago. My tongue is not happy with this change as it is rubbing on the newly exposed edge of the other tooth back there. Implants take time and also I am hesitant to do an implant as I am allergic to metals. I have never had a successful ear piercing, they swell up and itch. I am trying to find out if there is some quick solution to fill this hole and find relief for my tongue. It can be something I have to remove for eating, that is fine.
