Possibly: It is very possible, but you must consult with your cardiologist first!

Yes: There is no reason that a well placed dental implant should be a reason to contraindicate cardiac surgery. Speak to your dentist and have him make sure that the implant is healthy.

Yes: Most dental implants are made from biocompatible titanium. After the implant has integrated into bone, only peri-implantitis (infection of the gum tissue around the implant) might cause an implant failure.

Yes: No contraindication for this. Be sure to get dental clearance before your planned surgery. Good luck.
