Yes, it depends on the amount of native bone you have, however.
Yes, the majority of the time.
Depending upon the circumstances implants can be done without a bone graft. We usually take a cone beam of the area to determine if a graft is needed.
Yes. Most of the time there is enough bone
Yes, you can have implants without bone grafting as long as adequate bone is present, within which an implant can be placed.
It just depends on if you have enough bone or not.
Yes, only if you have enough available bone height and bone width for the site. The only way to determine this is to get a CT scan of the site.
Yes if there is adequate bone on the ct scan it can be done without grafting bone.
If you have enough healthy bone in the site of the implant, it is possible you don't need a bone graft.
It depends if there is adequate bone/ridge width 3 dimensionally then yes, it could be. Not everyone has adequate width, hence doctors recommend bone grafting procedure either at the time of dental implant placement or prior to obtain good long term prognosis of the dental implants
