Thanks for a great question. absolutely can in fact recommended.

Yes!
Yes, it can be done...provided the right bone anatomy and remaining teeth are present. There is also a need for crowns on some teeth to house the attachments and a few options exist for style/type and varying pricing applies; the simpler, quicker, and cheaper you select, the more it will move/cause discomfort when you attempt to use to eat. Some styles are for cosmetics only and your Dentist can advise you best. No device is going to be like your own teeth and must be maintained and replaced. Best wishes!
