of course CG would be better answering this but
simply (well what i know) - in some cases were people can't have a normal denture they can have implants in thier mouth for the denture to fit to - it could use magnets magnets i don't know (i understand more in my head)
this is only information i've picked up of noseying at work

Jez is right - implants can be used for single teeth, for example in a younger person who'd had a tooth knocked out, or to support a bridge or a denture. They tend to be made of titanium, which fuses to bone. Some use magnets, others act more like a press-stud. I ain't an implantologist, for some reason they really leave me cold, but my boss is and between us we'll answer any questions!

That would be feasible but would almost certainly be a private charge and would probably require referral to a secondary centre of excellence. This would of course still run by the usual NHS waiting lists of approximately twelve weeks for initial consultation, 12 weeks to then get initial treatment etc.... Call my secretary and we'll diary crunch!
