Yes of course you can.
There are many factors that need to be known in order to answer this question. Which 2 teeth are missing? How long is the span of the missing teeth? We need to know which teeth are available on either side of the missing teeth. How loose are these teeth? How much bone loss is present? Implants are usually the better alternative- here again you need to know if this is possible depending on sinuses, nerves and amount of available bone.
Yes depending on the area involved and if the foundation of the teeth are good and the bite is balanced
