Yes.  I researched missing teeth and bitework a number of years ago, and talked to a police dog handler who's dog was missing 8 teeth (that's the most I'd ever heard of), and it had no issues.  I've seen plenty of dogs with 1-3 missing teeth doing bitework, also with no problems. 

The only issue I've ever seen is if the dog doesn't work for awhile, when it starts working again the area of exposed gums may get a little raw until it toughens up, kind of like when you haven't flossed in awhile and then go see the dentist.  But after a few sessions that self resolved and it never seemed to bother the dog in the first place.
