Dental Implants: There is a good possibility that dental implants can be placed if enough bone is present and the patient's health is good. Implants are titanium screws, not actual human teeth.

Maybe: Depends on the reasons he has lost his teeth. If this is due to poor care then I would say not. Any implants need very good care and cleaning. If you are going to have a bridge this will also need good cleaning. The person usually can have surgery but much must be discussed as to reasons for loss. May do better with dentures.

Yes: Consult a dentist or orthodontist. You can have dental implants or dentures if you lose your teeth
