Yes, it all depends on your bone structure and your biting forces
Yes, very often you can get dentures. You need to speak with your
dentist/surgeon to be sure you have adequate bone to place the implants.
Of course, you can.Although , depending upon ridge height and width , you may need some augmentation procedures prior to implant placement.
Your dental surgeon would take a 3D x-ray to determine how much jaw bone remains. Sometimes bone grafting can be done if there is not currently enough bone.
