Usually yes
In most cases, a molar can be replaced with an implant. It may be necessary to do a bone graft and/or sinus lift.
Yes
Absolutely YES
Yes implants can certainly be used to replace failing or lost molar teeth. The amount of bone available is the most common limitation which can be over come by bone grafting.
Most any tooth can be replaced by an implant, but it depends on the quality and thickness of bone. It is best to discuss grafting needs and options with your dentist.
Absolutely! Depending of course on the diagnostics - CBCT scan (cone beam, your occlusion, your health…..)
Molars or any missing teeth can definitely be replaced with implants as long as you have enough bone and space between teeth.
Tooth implant for one missing molar is definitely possible, depending on the bone and occlusion (bite). For more info on tooth implants, click here:

Yes, although there are special considerations for molar teeth in the upper jaw (alveolar/maxillary bone loss, proximity of the maxillary sinus) and lower jaw (alveolar/mandibular bone loss, proximity of the inferior alveolar nerve) so an evaluation with someone trained in dental implants is essential to ensure you are a candidate for implants.
Of course it can. Depending on the status of the existing bone at the site, the implant could be placed right away or it may require some type of bone graft procedure to restore the bone to a satisfactory dimension to hold the implant. Either way, the site could be ultimately be restored with an implant.
Yes, provided there is adequate bone to place the implant. Your dentist or surgeon can evaluate you and advise you.
Molars can be easily replaced with dental implants. The biggest consideration is the amount of bone available for the implant. Molars that have been missing for many years might have minimal bone and need bone grafting prior to implant placement.
