Key Points

  • Missing teeth can shift your bite, causing pain, uneven wear, and even changes to your face.
  • Nuvia restores your bite with permanent zirconia teeth in just 24 hours—no plastic temps, no delays.
  • Full mouth implants protect against bone loss and shifting, unlike dentures or bridges.
  • If you’ve lost teeth—whether from decay, gum disease, or injury—you’ve probably noticed more than just gaps in your smile. Maybe your jaw feels off. Maybe eating doesn’t feel natural anymore. Maybe your teeth don’t “meet” the way they used to.

    That’s not your imagination. It’s likely your bite has changed. 

    Here’s the good news: full mouth dental implants can help restore your bite and free you from the struggles of failing and missing teeth. 

    Missing Teeth Can Change Your Bite

    Your bite—the way your upper and lower teeth come together—can easily shift. Even losing one tooth can throw things off balance. Lose several? It’s likely that you’ll start running into issues with your bite, eating food, or even speaking.

    When teeth are missing:

    • Adjacent teeth may begin to shift into the empty space

    • Your jaw alignment can change, causing joint pain or headaches

    • You may start chewing on one side more than the other, leading to uneven wear on your teeth

    Over time, this doesn’t just affect how you chew. It can change your face shape. It can cause your jaw to pop or ache. It can even make speaking more difficult.

    Full Mouth Dental Implants Restore Your Bite

    Full mouth dental implants don’t just fill gaps in your smile. They restore your smile, help maintain facial structure, and can give you back a functional bite… And at Nuvia, it’s possible to get dental implants with your final set of teeth in 24 hours.

    How? First, you’ll see if you may be a candidate for dental implants with the 60-second quiz.

    Next, you’ll get to design your new smile at your consultation and set a day to have your implants placed. 

    After the dental implant procedure, you’ll return 24 hours later to have your final, zirconia teeth attached to your dental implants. 

    The result is a new smile that you’ll want to share in pictures, use to eat whatever you’d like (after being given the all-clear by your doctor), and enjoy every single day without pain from missing or failing teeth.

    And because Nuvia’s process delivers your permanent teeth in just 24 hours—not weeks or months of plastic temps—you begin adapting to your new bite right away.

    Will My Bite Feel Weird?

    This is a super common question—and it’s completely valid.

    The reality is that your bite may feel a little different at first. Any time you make a big change in your mouth, your brain and muscles need a bit to catch up. And after a bit of time, practice, and exercises, patients are surprised by how natural their new bite starts to feel.

    Many Nuvia patients are able to get used to their new bite within a few months because at Nuvia, they don’t get a generic, one-size-fits-all set of plastic healing teeth. You get your permanent teeth right away—custom-created for your jaw, your bite, and your smile.

    That makes a big difference.

    Temporary teeth from other providers who use the decades old, traditional approach are often not shaped specifically for your mouth. That means your bite might feel off for months—only to change again when the real teeth finally come.

    With Nuvia, the adjustment happens once. Your permanent teeth are crafted to fit your mouth from the start, so you can start getting used to your bite right away.

    Prevent Against Bone Loss

    Here’s something many people don’t realize: the moment you lose a tooth, the bone underneath it begins to shrink. That’s because your jawbone needs stimulation from a tooth root (or dental implant) to stay healthy.

    Dentures don’t solve this. Bridges don’t either.

    Only dental implants preserve and protect your jawbone—because they act like real tooth roots. When you replace an entire arch with full mouth implants, you’re not just fixing a temporary bite issue. You’re protecting the bone that will keep your bite where it is supposed to be.

    Prevent Against Shifting

    When you have missing teeth, your remaining teeth drift. Your bite shifts. And that beautiful alignment you once had can quickly vanish.

    Full mouth dental implants put an end to the shifting. By restoring a full set of teeth—all anchored securely to the jaw—you stabilize your bite and no longer have to worry about shifting teeth.

    No more tilting, turning, or crowding. Just straight, solid teeth that meet exactly where they should.

    Dental Implants vs Other Solutions

    So how do full mouth implants compare to other bite correction options?

    4
    Full Arch Dental Implants✅ AbsolutelyThey replace teeth and roots, restoring form and function
