Before I walked through the doors at Nuvia Dental Implant Center, there is one word to describe how I felt: skeptical.
I was in constant pain, missing teeth, and tired of taking over-the-counter meds and feeling embarrassment. I’d been researching solutions for almost a year—dentures, other implant centers, you name it—but I didn’t think I could afford a new set of permanent teeth like the ones I truly needed.
Then I saw an ad for Nuvia. It said: “Permanent teeth in 24 hours.” And let me tell you, I honestly didn’t believe it. But I took the 60-second quiz anyway.
Turns out, that quiz led me to one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

The Truth About Inexpensive Dental Implants
Although dental implants can be affordable, they aren’t “cheap”, and honestly they shouldn’t be. This is your smile, your health, the potential for greater confidence. You don’t want a discount version of any of that. Nor do you want a dentist cutting corners on the dental implant surgery.
However, at Nuvia, I found out that dental implants can be affordable and also feel inexpensive.
Nuvia didn’t just throw a price at me and walk away. They walked me through every financing option available, explained what I qualified for, what it would cost on a month to month basis, and gave me choices that worked for my budget. I didn’t have to do the math or make endless calls to third parties. It was all handled, all in one place.
I financed my procedure because at the time it was the right move for me—and it made something that once felt impossible totally doable.

What I Got for My Money
What made me confident wasn’t just the financing options. It was the value.
I wasn’t getting temporary teeth I’d have to potentially wear for 10+ months while I waited. I was getting permanent zirconia teeth in just 24 hours after surgery. That’s what Nuvia does.
I didn’t have to deal with a general dentist juggling surgery and anesthesia. Nuvia had a full team: oral surgeon, restorative dentist, and a CRNA (anesthesia expert) monitoring me the whole way.
And best of all—after a year and a half of hiding my smile and living in pain—I walked out with a smile that I would never have to hide and that would never give me tooth pain again.

Are Dental Implants Covered by Insurance?
Dental insurance might cover part of the procedure, but it usually doesn’t cover full mouth dental implants. That said, Nuvia’s team helped me look at multiple options so in the end my dental implants felt inexpensive on my budget while still being the high-quality, beautiful new smile I got from a team of experts.
Whether you have insurance or not, monthly payments can make implants much more affordable. That’s how I did it—and it’s how the majority of others do it too.

My Final Thoughts
“Inexpensive dental implants” doesn’t mean low quality. It means possible. It means within reach. I also don’t mean to say they aren’t an investment. However, I was surprised at just how possible it was for me to afford them.
I didn’t think I’d be able to have a life without tooth pain. I didn’t think I’d ever smile again without feeling self-conscious. But here I am—laughing, living, and eating what I want, when I want.
If you’re sitting there thinking dental implants are too expensive for you, I get it. I was you. Take the 60-second quiz. Go to the consultation. Ask your questions. You might be surprised how much help is waiting.
Because when you find the right place—and the right people—it doesn’t just change your smile. It changes your life.
