Can an impacted wisdom tooth be replaced with an implant at the correct angle?

soretooth101
36 male. I have a wisdom tooth that is quite decayed and was impacted, angled to the outside of the mouth and a flap of gum at the back of the lower, however it seems to be in good condition and fully emerged. I never really ate on those teeth due to the wisdom tooth being a bit loose and painful even before the previous filling I had. My question is could the upper tooth be replaced with an implant therefore making use of the lower? are wisdom implants more risky/tricky? implant/heal-implant?
