Can bone grafts and implants be done at the same time?

I am a 29 year old male. I wonder if bone grafts and implants can be done at the same time?

No
Bonegrafting and Implants are procedures that go hand in hand with one aother.Bonegrafts are done prior to placing an implant and can take anywhere 3-6 months to heal up before the placement of an implant.
yes it can
They can, but results are better and more predictable if a wait of 3-5 months is done first.... I know, hard to wait when you want new teeth!!!
Dear Patient,

Yes, it can be done!
Sometimes, depends on the area placing the implant, types of grafting, etc.
Sometimes.
