On Dental Implants, there is article on http://www.aboutcosmeticdentistry.com/procedures/dental_implants/procedure.html. On the web page, it states that if someone is messing all there teethes with bones, they can still be a candidate for Dental Implants. There is a procedure called bone grafting. There are 3 ways where they could get the bones. The bone could be taken from another area of the mouth, an areas of the hip or even synthetic bones can be made.
Yea... stop drinking so much soda
when does bone loss exceed bone gain
The best bio-compatible material used for human bone implants is titanium. This is due to their compatibility and ability to grow with the bones.
No
I think the answer is it does not affect the implants as such but it affects the fixation of the implants to the bone which results in loosening of implants.
You will need to visit a dentist for a consultation which is normaly free of charge.
Have your spoken to your dental care professional?? I have had 4 implants done, 2 with bone grafting. I had some swelling but no pain or discomfort in those areas.

Dental implants are the optimal solution for missing or damaged teeth. Implants are made from titanium and fuse to the bone so you never have to worry about loosing dentures or uncomfortable crowns.
apparently, first you have to find out from were the bone loss is coming from? If the bone loss is for dental reason, you have to evaluate or your dentist has to evaluate if the bone loss is because occlusal trauma, grinding your teeth, or lock of dental hygiene, means that you do not clean your teeth appropriately If your bone loss is for lock of dental hygiene, you have to be evaluate, how severe the bone loss is, and how advance the treatment needs to be done, means if you have dental pockets and bleeds, your dentist will perform certain treatment if you have fillings that are failing these fillings needs to be change. if you need advance treatment your dentist will know about and will explain to you, in some cases you could have some bone regrow in some areas, depend the condition the majority of cases you can stop the bone loss but not reverse. (if the problem is dental). the problem with oral bone loss is that does not hurts, when you start to have symptoms is very advance, that's one of the main reason to visit a dentist. and follow his or her oral advice.
Osteomyelitis is a bacterial infection of the bone that can lead to bone loss and destruction. It is not caused by a virus.
