If you’ve been searching the internet for free dental implants, you’re not alone. Thousands of people google that phrase every month.
And let’s be honest—when you’ve struggled with failing teeth for years and the bills are piling up, “free” might feel like the only hope.
But here’s the truth: there really aren’t legitimate programs that provide free dental implants. Dental insurance rarely covers them. Nonprofits and clinical trials are extremely limited, often with long waitlists and no guarantee you’ll qualify.
So the short answer: No, you’re probably not going to find “free dental implants.”
But the better answer?
You don’t need free dental implants to change your life. A full mouth restoration may be more affordable than you think – especially after hearing how two dental implant patients, Ricky and Sharanna were able to pay for them.

Ricky & Sharanna: Real People, Real Results
First, let’s look at how two Nuvia patients were able to afford their dental implants on a single income.
On a recent episode of the Nuvia podcast, Ricky and Sharanna sat down to talk about their dental implant journeys. Both of them had been through years of dental issues, pain, and the endless cycle of spending money on “fixes” that didn’t last.
Like a lot of people, their biggest fear wasn’t even about the procedure—it was the unknown cost.
“We’re all afraid of the price because it’s not really talked about a lot,” Sharanna admitted. But she realized she wasn't just paying for teeth. “I was investing in myself. And getting it done in 24 hours? You can’t beat that.”
Full mouth dental implants aren't just about teeth and they aren’t just a routine trip to the dentist. Dental implants are about investing in your health, your confidence, and your ability to finally live without pain.
Dental Implants May Be More Affordable Than You Think
Sharanna notes on the podcast that she wasn’t rich. In fact, at the time she was the only one in her household working. But she made a decision: A new smile was going to happen.
So how did she do it? By making small changes.
“I actually kind of looked over my finances, whether it be cutting back on hairdos – I can do my own hair, I can do my own nails, little things. Even no more McDonald's in the morning before
Work. I was going to make a way so I can make those monthly payments.”
Something a lot of people don’t realize is that you don’t need “free dental implants” to make a new smile possible. You may qualify for flexible financing options and choose to work with a provider who actually helps you make an informed decision.
Sharanna notes, “And one thing that was really helpful for me is [that] Nuvia offered payment options that were definitely a great fit for me. [Those payment options] allowed me to adjust some financial things in my life so that I could afford it.”
Was it Really Worth It?
Everyone has to answer this question for themselves. But the result of full mouth dental implants is life without toothaches, life without hiding your smile, life where you can laugh, eat, and take selfies without being limited by your teeth.
Not to mention, with a set of zirconia teeth, you’ll never need to get another root canal again.
As Sharanna put it:
“Now that I’ve fixed my teeth, I feel like a brand-new me.” She recalls that she didn’t realize at the time before getting her new teeth that she was in a depressive state. Now with her new teeth, she doesn’t have the same tooth pain or the same limitations. Just the freedom that comes from a healthy set of teeth.

Timeline, Process, and Cost of Full Mouth Dental Implants
Another thing that set Nuvia apart for both Ricky and Sharanna was the speed and simplicity of the process.
Many people don’t know this, but traditional dental implant procedures often take months—up to 10+ months —may involve multiple surgeries, uncomfortable healing teeth, and countless appointments.
Nuvia’s process is different. It doesn’t rely on a decades old approach.
Here’s what it looks like to get a new smile at Nuvia:
Take the Quiz – The 60-second quiz will tell you if you may be a candidate for permanent teeth in 24 hours.
Consultation – When you then meet with your Nuvia team, you can get answers to all of your questions, pick from what financing options are available, and get your custom treatment plan.
Smile Design – You then get to pick out the color and shape of your new teeth.
Procedure Day – Any needed tooth extractions and dental implant placement happens while you’re comfortably asleep.
Permanent Teeth in 24 Hours – Thanks to Nuvia’s in-house lab, you’ll return the next day for your custom zirconia teeth.
No plastic healing teeth. No waiting for months on end. Just a permanent smile in 24 hours.
The Investment: What Do Dental Implants Cost?
Now that you’ve heard from other patient’s experience, and know that financing plans could be an option - how much do full mouth dental implants actually cost?
The answer is—it depends. Every person’s mouth is unique. Your bone structure, your needs, and your personal situation all play a role in what your treatment will look like, and cost.
However, it’s important to remember that full mouth dental implants are a permanent solution to failing and missing teeth. They are an investment in your health, and your day-to-day life. Many patients share that their dental implants were an investment in their confidence.
No more money wasted on root canals, crowns, or dentures that don’t last.
No more patchwork fixes that cost thousands but solve nothing.
No more living with pain, embarrassment, or fear of eating in public.
Rick discussed this kind of investment with Sharanna:
“We both lived with dental issues. We both paid a lot of money fighting those dental issues. Now that you went to Nuvia – here you are at four years – what does it actually cost you post surgery? Has it actually saved you [money]?”
Her response was “Absolutely”.
Not only can dental implants be more affordable than some people think, for a lot of people, they can even help save money otherwise spent on patchwork dental treatments.
The Bottom Line
Although it’s highly unlikely you’ll find free dental implants, the truth is that dental implants are still in reach for many people who wouldn’t have guessed that they are.
Take the first step towards a life-changing new smile. See if you may be a candidate with the 60-second quiz.
