At what point does it make more sense to stop trying to save failing natural teeth… and choose a permanent solution instead?
It’s not always an easy decision.
Maybe you've had a few crowns, a root canal, or some gum treatments — and you're hoping this next fix is the last one.
But if more than a few teeth are breaking down, the costs don’t just add up as a pile of bills — they add up in frustration, pain, and time.
Eventually, you’ve got to decide, Is it more effective to fix a failing tooth over and over again... or replace it with something built to last?
That’s where full mouth dental implants come in — These aren’t just a cosmetic fix, they are also a long-term, one-and-done solution for people who are done with short-term fixes.
Angel’s Story: Deciding on Dental Implants Instead of Trying to Save Her Natural Teeth
*Actual NUVIA patient(s) who may have been compensated for sharing their story. Not all those who come in for a consultation are eligible for this treatment. Results may vary in individual cases.
Angel didn’t expect to break a tooth while trying to eat a piece of chicken. But that moment was a breaking point for her.
“I started to cry, and I was just like, ‘Lord, I need you to fix it. I need you to fix it.’ And I immediately opened Facebook. I don't know why– in the middle of my tears– and there was a Nuvia ad.
She knew something had to change — not just to fix one more tooth, but to take back her health, her confidence, and her ability to live again.
And that’s exactly what she did. She came to Nuvia for a consultation and a smile design. She then scheduled her procedure and within 24 hours of her surgery, Angel had a brand new, permanent smile.
Describing her experience, Angel said “The people from start to finish, my phone call, going into the office, the reception desk, the nurses, the techs, the doctors, from beginning to end, it was amazing.”
She continued, “But also being able to eat, I had peanuts for the first time, you all, in twelve years. I ate an apple for the first time in ten years. That is amazing for me. It is the most beautiful experience.”

The Hidden Cost of Trying to “Save” Natural Teeth
When Angel’s tooth broke, she had the choice to try to save it and other failing teeth, or to get a one and done solution for all of them.
If you’re struggling with missing or failing teeth, you may also be facing the decision to get a permanent solution, or try to fix each tooth one by one. And if a tooth can truly be saved — great.
But when multiple teeth are cracked, decayed, or missing– each dental procedure doesn’t necessarily bring you closer to a healthy smile. Sometimes each treatment is simply delaying the inevitable.
For example, what starts as one crown that fails could become a root canal, then a second one, and potentially turn into a partial denture. This can get expensive.
If you’re trying to save 5 or more failing teeth or are battling with partial/full dentures, there’s a possibility that you’re paying way more than you need to for solutions that aren’t designed to be permanent.
Dental Implants: A “One and Done” Investment
More and more people are realizing just how much it costs to try to save too many failing, natural teeth.
And instead of paying the endless dental bills, thousands of patients are opting for full mouth dental implants and the one-time investment in a permanent solution.
Full mouth dental implants aren’t just another procedure. They’re a reset.
At Nuvia, the process is simple.
- One surgery to remove any remaining teeth and place the dental implants. Done by a board-certified oral surgeon and dedicated anesthesia provider. Plus you have a restorative dentist working to craft you a beautiful smile.
- You’ll return 24 hours after the surgery to get your set of permanent teeth — made onsite at Nuvia’s in-house lab.
Why is it so Hard to Find Information about Dental Implant Cost?
Angel was asking herself the same question. Now, having invested in herself and her new smile, this is what she says:
“It was a little difficult trying to do research and not being able to get a clear price… It's so vague, and there's a reason for that. Price is different for every person, but there is a cost guide, and it will help you better understand what your options are, ways to finance, and other ways that you can get this done for yourself.”
It’s true — dental implants aren’t one-size-fits-all. Every case is different based on your bone, your needs, and what you want for your new smile.

The Real Solution to Failing & Missing Teeth
If you’re facing the decision to keep repairing failing teeth or move forward with something permanent, you’re not alone — and you’re not without options.
Angel’s story is just one example of what can happen when you stop patching and start fresh.
She did her research. She took the 60-second quiz to see if she could be a candidate. And for her, it was worth it.
If you’re in that same place — unsure, comparing options, looking for answers — start by taking the same 60-second quiz to see if you may be eligible for permanent teeth in 24 hours.
