As someone who has placed thousands of dental implants and spent years in oral surgery, I’ve had a front-row seat to the difference quality care can make.
But beyond quality, patients deserve clarity. If you’ve ever wondered why dental implant costs vary so widely—or why timelines and experiences are so different—this article is for you.
Let’s break down what’s actually included in the price of dental implants and how Nuvia compares to what you may experience at a local dental office.
Permanent Teeth in 24 Hours vs Waiting Up to 10+ Months
Nuvia doesn’t do dental implants the same way other providers do.
Most traditional methods—including those used by local dentists—follow a model that has experienced little innovation in the last two decades.
With these methods you can expect to get a set of teeth after your dental implants are placed; however, it’s likely going to be a temporary set of teeth. Patients often find themselves wearing these “healing teeth” for months. These can be prone to cracking or breaking during that long wait.
At Nuvia, you skip the temps. You go from failing or missing teeth to your final, permanent zirconia smile—all in just 24 hours.
From a clinical standpoint, I love that I can offer patients a durable, strong set of teeth to heal in. Not only do they get to enjoy a custom-made smile, I know that the chances of their prosthetic (fake set of teeth) cracking or breaking are much lower.
At Nuvia Everything is Done Under One Roof:
If you know anyone who has had dental implants you may have heard the stories of them driving from clinic to clinic for a seemingly endless amount of appointments.
One office for the extractions, another for the implants. And maybe another for the final teeth. With each handoff, there’s room for delays, miscommunication, and the potential for added costs.
At Nuvia, everything is handled in one place. Your consultation, your 3D scans, your surgery, your smile design, and your permanent teeth—all of it happens in the same center.
This is made possible by Nuvia’s team approach where the restorative dentist, oral surgeon, and CRNA all work in the same center.
In-House CRNA (Anesthesia Expert)
Many general dentists either don’t offer sedation or have to bring in a third-party anesthesia provider, which can increase your cost as a patient.
At Nuvia, every procedure is performed with a dedicated CRNA (Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist) who keeps you asleep, comfortable, and safe.
And because this is part of every treatment plan, anesthesia comes at no extra cost to you.
In-House Lab
Many local dentists outsource creating the new teeth to external labs. This can often mean higher lab fees, longer wait times, and less control over the final result.
At every Nuvia location there is an in-house lab staffed by skilled technicians who work directly with your surgical and restorative team. Since we don’t rely on third-party labs, you don’t pay for third-party markups.
Experience Matters:
When it comes to oral surgery, there’s no substitute for experience. General dentists wear many hats—they fill cavities, perform cleanings, maybe even offer whitening or Invisalign. But full mouth dental implants? That’s a complex, specialized procedure that many local dentists don’t do very often.
At Nuvia, that’s all we do.
The surgeons and restorative dentists focus 100% of their time and talent at Nuvia on full arch dental implants.
While it is possible for a general dentist to place dental implants, Nuvia has oral & maxillofacial surgeons perform every procedure. These individuals don’t just go to a weekend course on dental implants, they complete four extra years of hospital-based training after dental school, specifically in surgical procedures like placing dental implants.
Dental implants are a life-changing investment in yourself—but what you’re paying for isn’t just the implants. At Nuvia you will have:
- A permanent smile delivered in 24 hours
- An expert, dedicated team with years of focused experience
- Sedation provided by a CRNA for your comfort and safety
- A custom smile crafted in an in-house lab
- Everything done under one roof, not a fragmented process done across multiple offices
