“I got my smile back and so much more.”
Meet Chris, a 53-year-old musician and truck driver from Southeast Texas whose life was quietly being limited by failing teeth, constant discomfort, and lost confidence. Before his dental implant surgery at Nuvia, Chris struggled with daily embarrassment — avoiding social situations, hiding his smile, and stepping away from the music he loved.
But everything changed after getting permanent teeth in 24 hours...
In his own words, Chris shares the five most surprising ways his life changed after getting dental implants. If you’re on the fence about treatment, this might be the motivation you’ve been looking for.
1. I Got My Confidence Back
Before surgery, Chris struggled with embarrassment and bad breath, no matter how hard he tried to cover it up.
“I was embarrassed 90% of every day”, he recalled.
But after getting his Nuvia dental implants: “I can walk up to people. I can talk close. No bad breath. It’s a super confidence builder.”
Now, he’s speaking with ease, smiling without fear, and even confidently dating again. If your smile is holding you back socially or emotionally, implants could be the solution.

2. I Started Dating Again
Chris avoided dating because of his teeth. Now, that’s no longer the case.
“With the teeth I had before, I would not be in the dating world.”
With his new smile, he’s out meeting people and feeling proud of his first impression.

3. My Health Improved (and I Lost 25 Pounds)
Better teeth meant Chris could finally eat better food. That led to real, lasting lifestyle changes.
“I used to be a lot heavier. Now I eat healthier, I’ve lost weight, I have more energy, and I’m ready to go live life.”
Dental health is connected to whole-body health. With implants, you can eat nutritious foods again — which can impact everything from weight to energy to mood.

4. I Thought It Would Be Too Expensive (I Was Wrong)
Like many, Chris thought dental implants were only for celebrities.
“I thought only rich movie stars could afford this.”
But Nuvia worked with him to create a plan he could manage as a blue-collar worker.
“Nuvia made it easy. Monthly payments — life-changing.”
You don’t have to be wealthy to afford a new smile. With flexible financing options, it might be more within reach than you think.

5. I Got My Voice (and My Passion) Back
Chris grew up playing guitar and singing in Texas. But over time, his bad teeth held him back from performing.
“I slurred and I spit. I didn’t want people seeing me with my mouth open.”
After healing from implants, he returned to the stage.
“Now I do shows for people. I’m back living my best life with my music.”
