About
Dr. Frank De Latour is the oral and maxillofacial surgeon at Nuvia Dental Implant Center in Fort Mill, South Carolina. Dentistry has always been part of his life as the son of a longtime dentist, and he saw early on how much a healthy smile can change someone’s confidence and quality of life.

Dr. Joshua Munson is an oral and maxillofacial surgeon at Nuvia Dental Implant Center in Fort Mill, South Carolina. His path to oral surgery came from a strong interest in both medicine and dentistry, and he found oral surgery to be the right balance of the two.
Dr. Munson completed all of his training at UNC Chapel Hill, spending 14 years there before finishing in 2022. He began his career in private practice, where he gained valuable experience before deciding to expand his exposure to full-arch implant surgery.
Dr. Munson joined Nuvia in Fort Mill to gain more hands-on experience with full-arch implant cases. While he enjoyed private practice, he wanted to spend more time focused on this type of surgery without sending patients to multiple offices or stretching treatment over many months like traditional approaches may require.
At Nuvia, patients can complete their surgery and receive their teeth in one place, on a clear timeline. For Dr. Munson, that simplicity makes it easier for patients to move forward—and easier for him to do the work he enjoys most.
Outside of work, Dr. Munson spends most of his time with his wife and three children. When he finds extra time, he enjoys going to the gym and playing golf. Family time is his priority, and he values keeping life balanced both inside and outside the clinic.
Dr. Gorden Hucal is a restorative dentist at Nuvia Dental Implant Center in Fort Mill, SC. He earned his undergraduate degree in biochemistry from Virginia Tech, then went on to dental school at Creighton University. After that, he completed an AEGD residency at East Carolina University to expand his clinical training.
He stays actively involved in the dentistry world even outside the office. He regularly attends courses and training with his brother, who is also a dentist.
Dr. Hucal joined Nuvia after seeing how the process works for patients. What stood out to him was the ability to deliver final zirconia teeth in 24 hours. In other settings, patients can wait up to 10+ months to finish treatment. Here, they leave with their final teeth the next day.
He also values the team. From the front desk to the lab to the providers, everyone is working toward the same goal—getting patients healthy and back to living with a smile they love as quickly as possible.
Outside of work, Dr. Hucal enjoys mountain biking, skiing, and snowboarding. He likes traveling, trying new restaurants, and spending time with friends whenever he gets the chance.
