Does tooth loss always result in bone loss of the jaws?

[StudyHacks]

If so, would getting a dental implant to replace the lost tooth/teeth reverse/prevent the shrinkage of the mandible/maxilla?

Biting force is what signals for the bone to regenerate, so if there's no tooth and thus no biting force in that area, then it will lose bone.
An implant will allow biting force, so it should result in not losing bone. This is a main reason they're preferred.

Perfect, understood, thanks!
