How to replace kitchen cupboard hinges?

[Oopsee]

Pls see attached photo of existing cupboard hinges, which are 25 years old, working well, but not soft-close. 

 

It would be nice to replace these hinges with a soft-close hinge. Is it a simple matter of removing the old and replacing with a new one, or do extra holes usually need to be drilled in the cupboard?

Also, are cutlery draws able to be "easily" retrofitted with a soft-close mechanism?

Thankyou.
