Prosthetics

As a result of my recent and ongoing dental travails, I have been wearning a temporary denture in place of an arched set of crowns for my upper jaw. It's not delightful, but not bad. And there is one surprising benefit that I wish was permanent (but improved):

It's rather neat to be able to take out your teeth to clean them.

I want magnetic implants that click into place, and can be removed at will. Perhaps a neuro - computer to the brainstem?

I'd like that.

Think what it would do for the hassle of poking, probing, flossing.... it would be a very good thing. How hard could it be?

(Way hard, most likely.)
