Key Points

  • Studies show that improving your smile may boost confidence, happiness, and how others perceive you.
  • At Nuvia, you can get permanent teeth in just 24 hours—no plastic temporaries or long waits.
  • A new smile isn’t just cosmetic—Like many patients have shard, it can help to restore self-esteem, connection, and freedom in everyday life.

What’s the first thing people notice when you walk into a room?

It’s probably not your shoes, or your watch– and it’s likely not the brand of coffee you’re holding.

There’s a good chance it’s your smile.

Not only is it something other people notice, it’s something that you shouldn’t feel you have to hide. Your smile is a big part of you!

If failing and missing teeth have made it hard for you to freely smile, you’re not alone, and there is hope.

To see if you may be a candidate for a new, permanent smile in 24 hours, take the 60-second quiz here.

The Smile–Confidence Connection

We can’t promise you that a new smile will suddenly turn you into the most confident person in the room. But study after study points to a clear pattern: when people improve their smile, they tend to feel better about themselves—and that shows up in how they live their lives.

  1. A qualitative study published in Sociology of Health & Illness found that adults who lost teeth often described it as a disruption to their identity, while dental replacement (like implants) helped restore a sense of self and confidence

  1. Research in Dental Clinics of North America demonstrated that improving smile aesthetics significantly changed how others perceived individuals—rating them as more intelligent, successful, friendly, and interesting after cosmetic dental work

  1. A study in the Angle Orthodontist found that adults who underwent orthodontic treatment experienced statistically significant increases in self-esteem just six months after treatment.

  1. Another study in BMC Oral Health  revealed that patients who whitened their teeth reported higher dental self-confidence and less social anxiety about their appearance.

The common thread? When people feel proud of their smile, they’re more likely to feel comfortable putting themselves out there instead of holding back.

Does Confidence Even Change Anything?

Confidence is one of those invisible traits that can change everything.

In a job interview, confidence could be the difference between sounding prepared and sounding desperate.

In relationships, confidence could make you more magnetic and approachable.

In day-to-day life, confidence helps you laugh more freely, speak more clearly, and seize more opportunities.

When you’re self-conscious about your teeth, it’s easy for confidence to get chipped away. Before getting their new smiles, so many patients share how they smile less, avoid cameras, or avoid conversations just to hide their teeth.

And here’s something fascinating: smiling itself can actually lift your mood. An international study led by Stanford scientists found that even posing a smile—even if you don’t feel like smiling—can make you feel happier in the moment. In other words, the simple act of smiling sends signals back to your brain that brighten your mood.

Now imagine what happens when you’re proud of your smile and do it naturally, all the time. It’s not just about looking confident—it’s about actually feeling more confident and happier day to day.

Transform Your Smile in Just 24 Hours

When you’ve decided that you’re done with failing and missing teeth, it doesn’t have to take months to get a new smile and the traditional approach to dental implants that gives patients a temporary set of healing teeth isn’t the only option.

Instead, you can experience a permanent smile transformation overnight at Nuvia. Just 24 hours after your procedure, your custom, permanent teeth will be ready for you.

No plastic temporary teeth, no waiting for up to 10+ months. Just a smile you can be confident in, right away.

Patients often describe permanent teeth in 24 hours as life-changing. The ability to laugh, smile, and eat with confidence again are just a few of the benefits. 

Your Team

If you’ve had dental work fail in the past, you know how frustrating—and discouraging—that can be. This time is too important to risk. The provider you trust for your permanent teeth can change everything.

Instead of relying on one provider to juggle every step of your procedure and squeeze in time to make your new teeth, at Nuvia you get a dedicated team of experts focused on you from start to finish.

  1. An oral surgeon to handle your procedure (no dentists who have just taken a weekend course on placing dental implants).

  1. A restorative dentist to design your custom, new smile.

  1. A CRNA (Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist) to ensure comfort and safety throughout the dental implant procedure.

That means you’re cared for by experts at every stage—people whose entire focus is on giving you a safe, comfortable, and high-quality experience.

It’s About More Than Teeth

If you think dentistry is just about fixing your teeth– you may not have the whole picture. When you get permanent teeth in 24 hours, you’re not just getting a new smile.

You’re opening doors to the freedom to laugh without hesitation, smile without self-doubt, and the freedom to have conversations without worrying about your teeth.

How do we know? Beyond the studies conducted by researchers across the world, hundreds of patients experience a newfound freedom each week after getting permanent teeth in 24 hours at Nuvia. See their stories here.
