Will implants give me my old facial shape back?

emilymcewanMar 2, 2015
I don't have big teeth under one of my molars, I'm 17 now and I lost it nearly a year ago and have just had a gab there! My dentist never told me the gab could cause bone loss and I noticed a few months ago my face has been changing and my cheeks look different, I'm going to get implants but I want to know if the implant will give my old facial shape back???
