It's probably not a story. With ageing, people can lose bone around their teeth. Often there won't be enough bone left to hold an implant securely. I have one implant. I do remember there was a question as to whether I had enough bone. I think ultimately I did, but I would have trusted my dentist to tell me if I needed it. You don't want the implant to be insecure.
