If you're missing teeth, you’ve probably been told that dental implants are the gold standard for replacement teeth. This is true. What’s not true is that it could take up to 10+ before the process is complete and you have permanent teeth.
This may have been the case two decades ago, but not anymore.
You can get permanent teeth in 24 hours. Custom, zirconia teeth designed to last a lifetime. No more missing or failing teeth, no dealing with the hassles of temporary teeth, and no waiting for what could be months.
Does Nuvia’s Permanent Teeth in 24 Hours almost sound too good to be true? Or is it the reason thousands of people across the nation are getting their replacement teeth this way?
Can a patient really walk into surgery one day and return for their permanent teeth the next? And if so, why isn’t everyone doing it?
Let’s break it all down. To start, here is what Dr. Albert Park has to say about permanent teeth in 24 hours:
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.
Permanent Replacement Teeth in 24 Hours
The secret to Nuvia’s 24-hour process isn’t rushing or cutting corners—it’s doing things differently.
To clarify, “Teeth-in-a-Day®” is different from Permanent Teeth in 24 hours.
With the “Teeth-in-a-Day®” method, you wake up from your dental implant surgery with a bulky denture that’s been attached to your dental implants. This temporary set of teeth is what you’ll be wearing potentially for the next 10+ months.
Permanent Teeth in 24 Hours is when you have the dental implant procedure and return 24 hours later to get your permanent set of final teeth.
Not only does Nuvia’s in-house lab and advanced technology make this possible, the Nuvia team gets started on creating your permanent teeth as soon as you have your dental implants placed.
Other providers may simply take months “while you heal” before even starting on creating your new teeth. But would you rather heal in a rigid splint (your permanent teeth) that is going to keep your dental implants in place, or heal in a set of acrylic teeth that has some give? Dr. Annoni explains more about that here.
Permanent teeth in 24 hours isn’t just about speed—it’s about doing it right the first time so you never have to deal with temporary replacement teeth.
Why Isn’t Everyone Doing This?
If Permanent Teeth in 24 Hours is such a breakthrough, why don’t more providers offer it?
Because it takes years of research and experience, technology, and an around-the-clock team to make it work.
- Many implant centers don’t have an in-house lab, which means delays and higher costs (these costs may be passed down to you to cover!).
- Most general dentists aren’t licensed to give general anesthesia. They’ll either have the patient stay awake during the procedure, or hire a CRNA. This may also be costly for your provider, or most likely, you.
- Having an oral surgeon, restorative dentist, and CRNA working to help a patient is not the norm. However, this is the team that each Nuvia patient gets. This team does dental implants day in and day out. When it comes to trusting your smile to someone, the more experience, the better.
At Nuvia, we’ve built a process that puts patients first—and we don’t charge extra for it.

Are Replacement Teeth Safe? Won’t It Hurt?
Some people worry that getting teeth in 24 hours sounds rushed or unsafe—but with the Nuvia team approach, safety is never compromised.
Safety is a top priority at Nuvia. Although some providers may have just taken a weekend course on placing dental implants, Nuvia has oral & maxillofacial surgeons perform the procedure. These surgeons complete 4-6 years of surgical training in addition to dental school. You won’t find a “weekend course” doctor here.
Additionally, each oral surgeon works with a CRNA who helps patients stay comfortably asleep. Not only does this allow your surgeon to be fully focused on the procedure at hand, a lot of patients also enjoy peace of mind knowing that they won’t feel a thing.
Dental sedation comes at no extra cost to Nuvia patients. Elsewhere, this could be an additional cost due to it being expensive for dentists to hire a CRNA.
Curious about potential discomfort after the procedure?
Dr. Park shares that in his years of giving patients full mouth dental implants, he only ever suggests patients take ibuprofen (if needed, patients can get prescriptions for other pain management medication).
Many patients are surprised by how well they feel after the surgery. While each person’s experience is different, the skill of your provider plays a large role in what the healing experience is like afterwards.
Is It Really Worth Getting Replacement Teeth?
Dr. Park has placed over 2,000 implants and sees the same thing every day:
“When we do the smile reveal 24 hours after surgery… You see them smile and it seriously looks like, a light just starts to to turn on on them and their true personality starts to come out.’”
Replacement teeth aren’t just about fixing how a smile looks—it’s about giving people their lives back.
