I had a root canal done in 2015 on this molar (#36 i think). Earlier this year my tooth shattered, I went to have it checked with a new'ish dentist. she said it will need to be pulled by a surgeon. I will go find one, but I am wondering if by looking at the radiogram can it be determined if I need bone graft before an implant?

You will need bone grafting for implants. Keep in mind the graft will not rebuild lost horizontal bone. It can only integrate into vertical defects.
