Advanced dental implants are making new smiles and improved oral health available to more people than ever. Over the course of decades, dental implants have been improved upon and today, that innovation continues. Your experience getting dental implants could be vastly different from stories you’ve heard about traditional methods.
While a majority of providers are still using a decades old approach to dental implants, the Nuvia 24Z process is completely changing the patient experience.
Here is what you can expect from modern, advanced dental implants.
Dental Implants of the Past: From Basic to Advanced
Dental implants have come a long way since their humble beginning. The earliest dental implants were simply shells, bamboo, or other materials used as a poor stand-in for missing teeth. The first attempt at a modern dental implant was first done nearly 100 years ago.
Since they’ve been better refined, dental implants have become the industry standard for replacing missing or failing teeth.
But what makes advanced dental implants so different from the initial versions done in the 30s? Quite a few factors…
The Evolution of Dental Implants: A Timeline of Innovation
The first dental implants served mainly to fill an empty space in the mouth. Now, they are designed to closely resemble natural teeth and to function just the same.
Full mouth dental implants used to require many implants and couldn’t be done unless a patient had enough bone for the procedure. Unfortunately, bone loss is fairly common among those with multiple missing teeth so patients were often disqualified.
Today, All-on-4® dental implants are used to maximize on remaining bone levels of those who may have experienced some bone loss making it possible for more people to restore their smiles with advanced dental implants.
In cases of extreme bone loss, zygomatic dental implants may be used to give patients upper dental implants.

Nuvia 24Z
Nuvia 24Z refers to the process Nuvia Dental Implant Center uses to give patients their permanent zirconia teeth in 24 hours.
After two decades of dental implants being done the traditional way (by giving patients temporary teeth to heal in for up to 10+ months), patients no longer have to suffer through months of waiting in temporary teeth.
How is this possible?
Technological Integration
The use of digital technology has been a game changer in the advancement of dental implants. With the ability to use 3D imaging and computer-aided design (CAD), dentists can now create fake teeth that are custom-fit for your mouth.
This precision not only helps give you a more natural look and feel but also improves the overall success rate of the implant procedure.
High-Quality Materials
The materials used matter just as much as the surgical skill behind them. That’s why the Nuvia 24Z process uses zirconia for your permanent teeth — a material known for its strength, beauty, and long-term durability. Zirconia doesn’t just look natural; it’s built to last where temporary materials like acrylic plastics aren’t.
With Nuvia’s in-house lab, your new zirconia teeth are crafted overnight, not weeks later in some third party facility. This close collaboration means precision, customization, and a 24 hour delivery of your new teeth — all while keeping costs lower by avoiding outside lab fees.
Healing is also different with the Nuvia 24Z process. Instead of healing under a flexible, temporary denture that can crack or break (potentially impacting your dental implant healing), you heal with a strong, custom-designed permanent set of teeth that acts like a rigid splint for your new implants.
This stability supports your implants during those critical first weeks of healing and helps set the foundation for long-term success.
Advanced Dental Implant Technology
Advancements in dental implants are more than just the process, as we just discussed. They can also involve significant improvements in materials, outcomes, and efficiency. These developments have led to durable, beautiful, and comfortable solutions for patients.
