After composite filling on tooth my bite has been off. Advice on what I should do?

dafney
i got a composite filling on tooth # 16 (wisdom tooth), but my biting fell weird, so i went to get it adjusted.  the dentis grinded a little from molar # 15 so it wouldn't hit on bottom molar. she also shaved of core build up on upper premolar 13 which i had a root canal.  Now i feel terrible. It messed up my bite. i know i will be getting a crown on 13 so that should for support on that side, but as far as 15.  I'm not sure what to do, if have that good molar extracted since it messed up my bite or get braces.  Only that side is off.  Pls advice of what i should do.  My jaw needs to rest, as i put my teeth down it doesn't have support on one side.
