Dental Implants with Bone Loss on Jaw?

DentalQ
I have severe bone loss in my upper jaw, and the dentist wants to extract my teeth and give me dentures. I want dental implants, but with the amount of bone loss that may not be possible. Do I have options? Has anyone tried Emdogain or other bone regeneration techniques, or would bone grafting give me the bone I need? I really don't want dentures.
