Frequently done: Many people who get dental implants need to have bone grafts, especially if the teeth that are being replaced have been missing for some time. There are a few different techniques to do this and usually costs extra.

Bone graft: Yes, not only its possible, it's done routinely in cases that there is not enough bone to support a dental implant, in many cases of immediate dental implant placement right after removing teeth also there is a need for grafting bone around the implant.

Yes: It is very possible. Assuming there are no medical issues and the area of the future dental implant have not had multiple surgeries with a history of complications, then yes it is very possible.

Yes!: Depending on how much bone you have lost, there are several options available to you for bone grafting. You should seek a consultation with a dental specialist (prosthodontist, periodontist or oral surgeon) for an appropriate recommendation.

Yes: Bone grafting is very routinely performed in order to allow the implant surgeon to place dental implants. Performing such grafting will help ensure the proper position and size of the implant, which will directly affect the long-term success of the restoration. There are several types of bone grafting procedures which are possible, depending on the quantity of bone reconstruction needed.
