What dental procedures would fix this?

Before I elaborate, I would like to ask for serious and knowledgeable answers only. It is not the time, nor is this the place, for jokes. A friend of mine is in a very serious situation. She has horrible teeth. It stems from her childhood where her family didn't have dental insurance. She wasn't taught proper hygiene, never flossed, and drank too much soda. It took a major toll on her teeth. It is now to the point that she has cavities in all of her front teeth (very bad, almost to where it looks like she's missing teeth because the holes are so big), she has molars that have completely dissolved, leaving huge holes in her gums. She is so insecure to the point that she cannot have a normal conversation with someone. She makes no eye contact, mumbles (in fear of someone seeing her teeth), and will not go to the dentist for fear of embarrassment and having to get dentures. She is only 21 years old. She does not want dentures (removable teeth). She refuses. She says that there are procedures that can be done to give her permanent false teeth that aren't removable. Is that true? Is it possible? What procedures would be done to her and how long would they take? Would she have to go toothless for awhile? Any other information is helpful.

there are procedures. you can get fake teeth, but they are permanently placed, like real teeth. It may take a while for it to be done, and no, she will not go toothless.
