Hello
Since the teeth are missing since 8 years there is high chance that the bone level will also be less. But to decide whether that area is suitable for dental implant we need to get certain examinations done: a full mouth X ray would be needed along with a CBCT to properly check the level and the amount of bone present. It is better that you visit an implantologist and get a proper treatment done. He will be able to tell you all the other options in case implant is not possible in your case
