Not related: Your grinding will not be affected by the implants but by the bite itself, when your teeth or crowns hit together it can affect your bite and your grinding. removing healthy teeth to replace them with implants for the purpose of getting rid of grinding issue is not the answer, you should try to fix what you have, find a good dentist or a prosthodontist who has training in this area.

Implants: Of bone is healthy, implants/crowns can replace extracted teeth. Implants do not prevent grinding. You may require occlusal orthotic (night guard) or other treatment modality. Find a good Dentist and follow his/her advice.

Not exactly: The dentist can place implants we're teeth are missing , but to help you on your grinding, you need a night guard
