Will teeth extraction from the back of my mouth make my cheeks look sunken?

Q.
I have 2 top back teeth that need extraction on the same side. The alternative option is expensive and might not work due to heavily filled teeth and infection. If I decided to have these extracted would it make my cheek look abit sunken? futurewise I would have an implant in place once its all healed. Thanks

Your checks are supported by your teeth and it is possible , depending on your cheek bone structure, that your cheeks could sink in a little. Implants are possible but often require bone grafting of some sort to allow for adequate bone for implant placement

What about sagging ? Will extraction cause saggy cheeks ?
