You could look into a dental implant as a replacement option.

It is by no means a given that your teeth will drift, or that your face would sink in (in fact, some actresses in the olden days had their molars removed to emphasise their cheekbones and make them look prettier :o)!

Sometimes, an upper tooth can over-erupt when the opposing lower tooth is missing, but for you it's the other way round, so it's not such a concern :).
