There’s something powerful about hearing real people share real stories — especially when it comes to something as personal as your smile.
For most people who come to Nuvia, it isn’t just about fixing teeth. It’s about getting back a confident smile, health, and the ability to live freely again. And for the eight patients who shared their stories in a recent live patient panel, that truth came through loud and clear.
If you’ve been wondering what it’s really like to go through the full mouth dental implant process — from fear and doubt to walking out with a brand new set of permanent teeth in just 24 hours — their words say it all.
**Actual NUVIA patient(s) who may have been compensated for sharing their story. Not all those who come in for a consultation are eligible for this treatment. Results may vary in individual cases.
1. “I could walk in on a Monday… and walk out on Tuesday with a brand new set of permanent teeth.”
Bishop called himself “Mr. Skeptical” when he first saw Nuvia online.
“I saw the Nuvia ad, I took the sixty second quiz, I set up my consultation, and I just knew that they wanted my money,” he admitted. “But as soon as I got in the office… they literally treated me like family.”
That feeling changed everything.
“Walking in that Nuvia office and to know that I could walk in on a Monday with failing teeth and poor oral health and walk out on Tuesday with a brand new set of permanent teeth, that was a game changer for me.”
It’s not just the speed that makes Nuvia different — it’s the way you’re treated through every step. No judgment. No temporary teeth. No being passed from one office to another.
From the moment you walk in, you’re surrounded by a team that genuinely listens, cares, and delivers permanent results in just 24 hours. That combination is what makes so many patients, like Bishop, walk out saying it was a “game changer.”
2. “I felt lost and devastated and hopeless.”
For another patient, Michelle, the breaking point came when “I bit into a hamburger and a crown that I had, not even a year ago, broke off into my hand and I felt lost and devastated and hopeless.”
After years of “putting constant band aids on my teeth, trying to fix them and nothing was sticking,” she said discovering Nuvia finally gave her hope again. “I needed a solution. I didn’t know implants were an option until I found Nuvia.”
3. “They took all that fear away from me.”
Dennis had lived with dental trauma for decades. “I had over a hundred surgeries on my face,” he said. “My dentist would have to prescribe me Valium just to walk through the doors.”
The kind of dental fear that comes from that doesn’t disappear easily. But at Nuvia, something changed.
“The compassion that Nuvia gave me was the game changer. It took the fear away.”
He described the moment it clicked: “For somebody to sit there and engage with my story — that was the first time in my life. It’s hard to explain… but just walking through those doors and meeting these people — they’re family.”
For Dennis, that kind of care meant finally being free from the cycle of fear and fixes. With Nuvia, that freedom lasts. Their full mouth dental implants are built to last a lifetime with proper care — no more patchwork dentistry, no more temporary fixes, no more starting over. It’s a one-and-done solution that lets you move on with confidence, knowing your new smile is here to stay.
4. “I was unable to chew… my oral health was deteriorating.”
While sharing his story, Bishop also recalled simply being tired of not being able to eat properly. “I had missing teeth on one side at the bottom and missing teeth on the other side at the top. I was unable to chew food like I wanted to… my oral health was deteriorating.”
Eventually, the frustration turned into action. “I just got fed up. I knew something needed to be done. I wanted to take better charge of my health and I found Nuvia.”
Not only do full mouth dental implants restore oral health, they give patients back the ability to eat whatever they’d like. Other temporary solutions to missing teeth like dentures, partials, or bridges are likely to come with many limitations when it comes to eating food. Not dental implants with permanent zirconia teeth.
5. “I broke a tooth on Popeye’s chicken and I started to cry.”
Sometimes, it’s the simplest moment that sparks change.
Angel described how her dental issues started and what her breaking point was: “I had three children back to back, and it caused calcium deficiency. But what led me to Nuvia was actually seeing my family enjoy Popeye’s. I wanted to take part in it. As soon as I bit that delicious chicken, I broke a tooth. And I started to cry.”
She opened her phone in tears, “and there was a Nuvia ad. I took that as a sign, and here I am.”
“They cried with me.”
Angel continued to reflect on her experience at Nuvia. “Nuvia is not just a dental office,” she said. “When I walked into Nuvia, even before then, when I got my phone call from Priscilla… the fact that I know their names is important to me. I was a person. I wasn’t just a patient. I wasn’t a number.”
When the conversation turned to financing, she recalled, “Nikki cried with me when I was trying to figure out if I could even afford it. She said, ‘We’re gonna make this work.’ And she sat there with me and she cried with me.”
“Nuvia is special.”
6. “I was sick all the time… I haven’t been sick a single day since.”
For Ricky, his turning point came not just from the appearance of missing teeth — but from health side effects.
“I was sick all the time,” he said. “I went to somebody and they said, hey, you ever thought it could be your teeth?”
After years of feeling unwell, he decided to take the leap. When sharing about the procedure itself he said, “I went to Nuvia and they took [my remaining teeth] out… I went home and slept really well. And when I got up the next day to get my teeth put in — in twenty four hours, by the way — I could already feel my body healing. It was the craziest thing.”
Three years later, he says, “I haven’t been sick one single day since.”
Ricky’s story isn’t just a coincidence (and it isn’t unique)— it’s a reminder of how connected our oral health is to the rest of the body. Failing or infected teeth can quietly fuel inflammation that affects the heart, brain, and immune system, contributing to serious conditions like heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and stroke. When those infections are gone and the mouth is restored to full health, the difference can be felt head to toe. For many patients, it’s not just about getting their smile back — it’s about getting their health back, too.
7. “What was most surprising was that there was really some things that were the same…”
Sharala returned to Nuvia for a second arch and came away reassured by how consistent the process was across time and locations.
As she put it, “What was most surprising was that there was really some things that were the same, which shows the consistency of the process throughout the years.” That consistency, she said, “gave me a sense of confidence in Nuvia and what Nuvia does.”
She also noticed differences the second time around — not because the care slipped, but because the company had evolved and so had she.
“I went in with a different perspective the second time. I had a little bit more insight. I had been around the company for three years,” she said, explaining that experience helped her know “what I was listening out for.”
8. “No regrets. Just trust the process.”
When the panel was asked if anyone had regrets, the answer came fast and unanimous.
“No,” Randy said. “The biggest thing I say is just trust the process and put your faith in the folks who have studied this… you just follow the orders and trust the process.”
Trish shared that to this day she still keeps in touch with Nuvia, “I have dental PTSD, and when I walk through that door, it's family. They're still my family. I take them surprises every couple of months.”
And Angel’s words summed it up best: “Get off the fence. Give it a try, because you changed my life from the moment you called me to right now.”
More Than Just a Smile
These eight stories aren’t about temporary solutions or quick fixes. They’re about people who were ready to stop hiding, stop hurting, and start living again.
Like one patient said, “It’s way more than just the smile.”
Because when you can eat, laugh, speak, and smile freely again — you’re not just getting your teeth back. You’re getting yourself back.
If you’re ready to make a change in your life, take the 60-second quiz to see if you may be a candidate for permanent teeth in 24 hours.
