Should I have my implants removed due to constant clicking and crunching noises in my jaw? Is this causing more bone loss?

Everyone is talking about infection, gum disease/recession...what about constant clicking and crunching noises in the implant areas after 6 months into a year now. Radio graphs looked good, said i had enough bone, but this bone/metal/crunchly noise is driving me insane and causes pain at times. Should I have them removed? Ive already had 9 years of bone loss, plus this procedure due to having lower bicuspids pulled. Now 28, shouldnt be dealing with this.... :(
