Main Highlights: 

  • 67% of patients are health‑minded— needing dental implants isn't about “not caring.”
  • Although Confidence is the top driver for people wanting to get anew teeth; function still matters.
  • No referral needed to get permanent teeth in 24 hours.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re the only one struggling with your smile — or that dental implants are something only a certain “type” of person gets — you’re not alone… But the truth might surprise you.

We recently asked people who were exploring full mouth dental implants a few simple questions: Why are you considering this? How did you hear about us? What’s holding you back?

Their answers were surprising.

Let’s Start With a Misconception…

A belief that some people have is that people who have missing or failing teeth and need dental implants “don’t care about their health.” As dental implant providers who help patients get new smiles day in and day out, we know that couldn’t be further from the truth. And our survey results confirm it.

The truth is, 67% of people considering full mouth dental implants in the survey said they do care deeply about their health. Many reported that they stay active, and take care of their bodies — yet still struggle with the condition of their teeth.

Whether it’s due to genetics, past dental trauma, or years of dental work that didn’t hold up, oral health can sometimes fall behind even when everything else is in check.

So no — it’s not a matter of not caring. It’s often a matter of not knowing what’s possible, or feeling stuck for too long.

The Real Reasons People Choose Dental Implants

Another common assumption is that people get dental implants only so they can enjoy foods like steak or apples again. And while being able to chew is one top priority of patients, it wasn’t the top reason people gave in our survey.

The most common reason people said they wanted a new smile was confidence.

Those who took the survey told us they wanted to feel like themselves again, to smile in photos, to go out in public and talk to people without worrying about how they look or whether their dentures might slip.

Dental implants — and especially the permanent set of new teeth that attach to them — offer more than function. Hundreds of patients comment on the renewed confidence they feel after getting permanent teeth in 24 hours.

Another Myth: You Need a Referral

Some people also assume you can only get dental implants if your regular dentist refers you to a specialist. That might be true in some cases — but not with Nuvia.

Most of the people in our survey didn’t come through a referral, they found Nuvia online, typically through Facebook or YouTube.

So no, you don’t need to wait for your dentist to bring it up. If you’re curious about how a new smile could change your life, you can take the first step on your own — starting with the 60-second quiz to see if you may be a candidate for permanent teeth in 24 hours.

What is Holding People Back? 

A new set of permanent, healthy teeth is life changing. They restore function helping eat food again as well as appearance, making it that much easier for patients to confidently share their smile without thinking twice about it. So what holds people back from taking control of their dental health?

Some may think it’s cost – and of course, cost does come up. For some, it might be the main reason they haven’t moved forward yet. (But these people may not know how affordable dental implants can actually be – more on that later).

However, cost is not the only reason people suffer much longer than they should because they’re putting off treatment.

  • Some people are afraid of the dentist.
  • Some have had bad experiences in the past.
  • Some think they’ll need to wear temporary teeth for months because they’ve only been told about traditional methods and don’t want to go through that.

That last one is a big deal — and it’s exactly where Nuvia is different. Not only do thousands of patients leave 5 star reviews about their positive experience with Nuvia, patients across the nation no longer have to deal with the frustrations of a decades old method of getting new teeth. There’s another option.

Permanent Teeth in 24 Hours

At Nuvia, you don’t have to wait months wearing temporary healing teeth. You don’t have to live on a liquid diet. And you don’t have to bounce between multiple offices hoping your providers are in sync.

With Nuvia, you get your dental implants placed and your custom, permanent zirconia teeth delivered just 24 hours later. No plastic healing teeth. No patchwork. Just a brand-new, beautiful, functional smile— the very next day.

How is that possible?

First, everything happens under one roof. From your scans to your surgery to your new smile, your dedicated team of oral surgeons, restorative doctors, and CRNAs are all working together — with an in-house lab making your teeth to fit you.

It’s safe, efficient, and Nuvia’s documented success rate is 99.13% — one of the highest in the industry.

So if you’ve been putting this off because you don’t want a potential wait of up to 10+ months  with the old way… you could have a brand new set of permanent teeth in 24 hours.

Take the 60-second quiz to see if you may be eligible.

The Dental Implant Cost and Information Guide

A lot of people put off a new smile because they assume the cost is out of reach. But what many don’t realize is that implants can often be more affordable than years of patchwork fixes — especially with flexible payment plans that spread the investment into manageable monthly amounts.

Dental implant financing makes it possible for people across industries and in different fields of work to afford a new set of permanent teeth. Here are the top professions from our survey:

If you have questions about cost, take a look at the Dental Implant Cost and Information Guide. Inside, you’ll find what determines the cost of dental implants across the U.S., how dental implants compare to temporary options and why the right treatment done once can actually save you money (and frustration) in the long run. 

Especially if you take steps towards a new smile now. With costs of practically everything on the rise, the best way to save on dental implant costs is to invest in your new smile before your dental health gets worse and worse and before costs jump up.

What the survey shows is simple: the people choosing Nuvia aren’t a “type.” They’re everyday people — from every background, career, and stage of life — who are tired of hiding their smiles, tired of patchwork fixes, and ready for a permanent solution.

If you’ve been waiting, wondering if this could be for you… maybe now’s the time to find out. Take the 60-second quiz and see if you may be a candidate for permanent teeth in 24 hours.
