Can I get dental implants fitted on the NHS?

Q.
Could I get implants on the NHS?
I have had to have 13 rear teeth/gold crowns removed due to treatment for throat cancer.
I have tried dentures but continually gag on them. Gaging also causes a problem with heartburn – I have a hiatus hernia.
There is also a problem with lack of saliva which I treat with rubbing Biotene Oral Balance Gel on my gums, but can’t with dentures in.
Would be grateful for your advice.

Unfortunately the answer is no unless you can get onto an MSc program – which is unlikely

No implants aren’t available on the NHS, you’ll have to have dentures instead.
