I only have one upper molar on me left side and I'm about to get my 2 upper molars on my right side extracted. I'm very worried?

Hi, I currently have an implant on 14. 15 is rotted out and I'm awaiting to get an implant there but currently there is no tooth at all because the top part of the tooth broke off taking a nice chunk with it. I am going tomorrow to have 2 & 3 extracted. They are currently on a bridged crown. #3 is fractured and #2 is in bad shape so both need to go. The issue is, I dont know how I am going to be able to chew and process whole food with technically only one upper molar. I am VERY worried...
