It depends on how much bone is still present and where the position is. It can be regenerated if necessary or if possible...sometimes it's not possible.

Absolutely, in most cases it is still possible, although bone augmentation, or sinus lifts with bone grafts may be necessary. There are unfortunately some cases that do rule out emplacement placement, such as proximity to nerve, or other anatomic structures, or occasionally past history of Implant rejection, although often a second placement will successfully integrate.
A minimal amount of bone loss is acceptable for implant placement. However, your periodontal condition will need to be addressed and controlled to prevent further bone loss once the implant is placed.
Possibly, if the bone loss is not too severe.
There are many different forms and degrees of bone loss. Ultimately it depends on the severity and location of the bone loss that could keep a patient from receiving implants. The best thing to do is to go to a dentist and have a few x-rays taken in the area of the desired implant and potentially a CBCT (3D x-ray). That will give you the ultimate answer.
Hi! Yes you can absolutely get implants if you have bone loss. If bone loss is too extensive you may need adjunctive procedure to rebuild the bone, however, generally bone loss is not a disqualifier to getting dental implants.
I am against all dental implants. Not good for your health. In the future, a lot of people might get bone cancer of the jaw. Sorry.
You may need to get a bone graft for your implants if you have bone loss. Consult your dentist.
You may know that "implant is placed in the bone". The bone levelel is very important, and there are different sizes of implant to use in different bone levels. Implant dentist can tell you the "indication and contraindication".
Absolutely you may be able to have implants. Ideally you should have a consult with an experienced dentist who can evaluate the dimension and quality of bone at the site you wish to have an implant. There will likely be multiple options available to you.
It depends on the severity of the bone loss. If teeth were lost due to rampant gum disease, there is likely the loss of alot of bone. If implants are needed in this area, bone grafting can be done to improve the bone height and width.
It all depends on how much bone you have lost. In some cases, a bone implant could be placed to support the dental implant.
