Located between the St. Johns River and the Atlantic Ocean, Nuvia helps patients move past years of failing teeth, repeated dental work, and temporary fixes with a solution that’s designed to feel stable, natural, and built to last.
A lot of people who end up at Nuvia have already been through years of root canals, crowns, extractions, or dental work that kept buying time but never really fixed the problem. That’s why your care in Jacksonville is handled by an oral surgeon, an implant dentist, and a CRNA who work exclusively on full mouth dental implants—bringing the kind of focused experience that can make a difference for even patients with more difficult cases.
Originally from North Carolina, Dr. Rockafellow has lived and trained all over the world—including Spain, New York, and Florida—bringing a broad perspective and deep experience to his patients’ care.
He earned his dental degree from Columbia University in New York, followed by medical school at the University of Florida in Gainesville. He then completed his residency in oral and maxillofacial surgery at the University of Florida – Jacksonville, where he gained extensive experience in complex surgical procedures and patient care.
Dr. Rockafellow joined Nuvia in Jacksonville after hearing from colleagues about Nuvia’s focus on patient-centered care. He appreciates that Nuvia prioritizes the well-being of both its team and patients, creating a positive experience for everyone involved.
At Nuvia, Dr. Rockafellow values the chance to work with a skilled, collaborative team. He and everyone else on the team perform a high volume of life-changing full-arch implant procedures, giving them unparalleled experience in achieving safe, predictable, and beautiful results.

Dr. Hate grew up in a family of dentists but it wasn’t until his last year of dental school at the University of Florida that he realized he had a passion for oral surgery.
He continued his education with a residency at Tufts University in Boston. Having worked in a private practice since 2007, Dr. Hate is now an enthusiastic member of Nuvia’s Jacksonville team.
Dr. Hate reminds patients who may be nervous about the procedure that they have an experienced team of professionals that will take great care of them. From a CRNA who monitors anesthesia and the oral surgeon performing the procedure to the experienced restorative staff, each patient’s smile is in trusted hands.
When Dr. Hate isn’t working, he and his family can usually be found on the tennis courts or travelling to a tournament. As a moviebuff, Dr. Hate loves the classics. His favorites include The Godfather, John Wick, and Star Wars.
Dr Barros’ love of both the arts and the sciences is what drew her to dentistry. Her decision to be a dentist was reaffirmed by the opportunity she had to shadow another dentist. Since then, she knew it was the career for her.
Dr. Barros’ education and studies included an emphasis on restorative dentistry though she has also completed a residency in general dentistry.
It’s always been important to keep improving herself, something she has continued to do since she first started practicing dentistry in 2007. With her extensive experience and passion for helping others, Dr. Barros is a wonderful part of the Nuvia team in Jacksonville.
Something that Dr. Barros firmly believes is that healthcare providers need to love people above everything. This belief along with other core values is what brought her to Nuvia, a place with values that match her own.
She loves that at Nuvia she can deliver permanent teeth in 24 hours to patients. This makes it possible for them to skip months of wearing temporary teeth, a tedious step of conventional ways of providing dental implants.
In her free time Dr. Barros enjoys reading, going to the gym and hanging out with family and friends. She loves hosting Brazilian barbecues for her loved ones, hiking and being outside.
With several family members working in dentistry, Dr. John Addison was drawn to pursue a career in the field. His passion for dentistry has been fueled by his own experience needing restorative dental procedures after having his front teeth broken in a bike accident.
Dr. Addison first attended Northwestern University in Chicago, followed by dental school in Boston. In his 13 years practicing dentistry he has completed thousands of restorative cases and mastered a wide range of skills.
Now as the restorative dentist at Nuvia’s Jacksonville center, he loves that he can be totally focused on transforming smiles with dental implants.
With his own experience needing restorative dentistry to repair his smile, Dr. Addison knows what it is like to feel limited and worried about his smile and is able to relate to his patients. He is dedicated to giving great care and is incredibly detail oriented. You can trust your smile is in great, experienced hands with Dr. Addison.
When Dr Addison isn’t in the office, he loves to spend time with his wife and three children and be outdoors. Whether it’s hiking, playing sports, or enjoying a waterpark he and his family love staying active and having a good time with one another.
Living with missing teeth can feel overwhelming. The self-consciousness of hiding a smile, the frustration of avoiding favorite foods, or the worry about long-term health can take a toll on confidence and happiness. These feelings are valid, but it’s important to know there is a way forward.

Which is a better environment for your implants to heal—a flexible “healing” denture that can break, or Nuvia’s permanent teeth that can withstand up to 520+ pounds of force*? We place your permanent teeth the day after surgery so your implants get the stable support they need while your body naturally heals.
A smile transformation can be a life-changing experience full of confidence and health. Dental implants in Jacksonville could be the key to beginning your best life like it has been for so many of our patients.
See More Smile TransformationsWhen many people think of dental implants, they think of waiting months for a new smile.
With permanent teeth in 24 hours, that is no longer the only option. Same-day dental implants make it possible to get dental implants one morning and have your permanent set of teeth placed 24 hours later.
Located just off Belfort and Salisbury Roads, Nuvia’s Jacksonville center offers a process that’s designed to be efficient, comfortable, and focused on helping you get back to living your life without spending months in temporary teeth.
When people compare dentures vs dental implants, one big difference is how long they’re designed to last. Dentures often need relines, adjustments, repairs, or full replacements over time—and for a lot of people, that cycle never really ends.
Full mouth dental implants are fixed in place and built to be a long-term solution. That means no adhesives, no slipping, and no relines required. While dentures can seem less expensive upfront, many patients choose dental implants because they’re tired of paying for temporary fixes that never fully solve the problem.



A lot of patients come in expecting another stressful dental visit. Instead, you’re comfortably asleep under anesthesia while a CRNA monitors you and your oral surgeon performs the procedure—so your safety and comfort are carefully managed from start to finish

Each patient receives essential post-op supplies, instructions, and emergency contacts for ongoing support

All dental instruments undergo a rigorous multi-step sterilization process, maintaining the utmost hygiene standards.

Our treatment rooms are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized after every patient, creating a pristine environment for your care.

Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists ensure you are safely asleep and comfortable, while our skilled surgeons focus solely on crafting your perfect smile.

Rest easy, knowing that your breathing is in expert hands throughout your procedure with our secured airway protocol.

Our state-of-the-art 3D scanning technology allows us to meticulously plan implant positions, minimizing risks and ensuring precise results.

With our expert anesthetists at your side, you'll safely and comfortably sleep through the entire procedure.

Our team, comprising seasoned surgeons, attentive assistants, skilled anesthetists, and restorative doctors, are artisans in their fields.

Our patients often express amazement at the minimal discomfort they feel after surgery. Most find that over-the-counter pain relievers suffice for a day or two after surgery

What should I expect during my dental implant consultation?
Your consultation usually includes a 3D scan, a review of your teeth and bone structure, and what your treatment plan will look like. After your team is able to assess your case, you’ll also be able to see what your investment will be and find out what financing plans are available. It’s also your chance to ask questions and see what your new smile could look like.
Can you explain the teeth in a day procedure and its benefits for patients?
Traditional “teeth in a day” methods often place temporary teeth first and final teeth months later. At Nuvia, the process is different—patients receive their permanent zirconia teeth within 24 hours of the procedure, which means no long temporary phase and no bulky “healing teeth”.
How much are full mouth dental implants?
The cost can vary depending on the complexity of your case. Most patients use financing to make their new smile affordable, and many find that full mouth dental implants can make more sense long-term compared to years of repeated dental work, repairs, or dentures.
What materials are used for dental implants?
The implants themselves are typically made from titanium, which has been safely used in medicine and dentistry for decades because it integrates well with bone. The final teeth are made from zirconia, a strong, natural-looking material designed to hold up long-term.
