How does a tooth extraction replaced with implant affect facial shape/structure?

luvluv
If letting the tooth decay would eventually lead to the jaw bone decaying and changing shape... does the implant cause the jaw to grow or change in a diff way? It wont be an exact match for the original roots so it must cause some change, does it? Thank you
