If you’re dealing with missing or failing teeth in the Providence area, you already know how much it shapes daily life — what you eat, how you carry yourself, whether you smile freely in a conversation. All-on-4® dental implants near Providence give you a permanent solution, and at Nuvia, that means a full set of final, zirconia teeth in just 24 hours.
Our center is right off Route 6, less than 10 minutes from downtown Providence and easy to reach from Cranston, North Providence, Smithfield, and communities across Providence County.
Many providers in the Providence area — including general dentists, periodontists, and oral surgery practices — do full mouth dental implant cases with a single provider. Nuvia’s model separates those roles deliberately, because we believe better outcomes come from focused expertise, not having providers multitasking. At Nuvia you have an oral surgeon, restorative dentist, and CRNA helping restore your smile. Our implant dentists near Providence have taken on complex cases that were turned away elsewhere — significant bone loss, prior failed implants, even patients who had been told “no” by other providers.
Ann Dowd is the CRNA and anesthesia provider at Nuvia Dental Implant Center in Providence, RI. She graduated from St. Vincent Hospital’s anesthesia program in 1982 and has been practicing anesthesia for more than 40 years.
Ann spent most of her career in Level I trauma centers before moving into office-based cosmetic surgery a few years ago and now joining the Nuvia team in Providence.
Ann was drawn to Nuvia for its location and, more importantly, for the way everything is delivered in a single 24-hour window. Coming from cosmetic surgery, she knows patients don’t want to wait four, six, or eight months to see a result—they want to see it now. Nuvia’s permanent teeth in 24 hours model offers exactly that.
For patients who are nervous, Ann’s answer is a personal one. She went into anesthesia in the first place because she can’t stand watching patients endure pain or anxiety, and her whole practice is built around removing both—from numbing the skin before the IV goes in, to waking up comfortably at the end. Her goal is simple: meet each patient where they are, understand what they need, and make the experience as comfortable as possible.
Outside of work, Ann is a proud grandmother of three, and most of her free time goes to them. She’s known to shoot hoops with the grandkids—her words: she’s only five feet tall, but she still gets a few in every so often. She also recently traveled to Italy—her first trip to Europe—and is looking forward to more travel ahead.
Dr. Jeeva Venkataraman is the oral and maxillofacial surgeon at Nuvia Dental Implant Center in Providence, RI. He completed his oral and maxillofacial surgery training at Mount Sinai and has since focused on helping patients regain their confidence through surgical care.
Dr. Venkataraman’s path into dentistry started in college, when he shadowed a friend’s mom who was a dentist. He was drawn to the long-term patient relationships and the meaningful change dentistry can make in someone’s life. In dental school, time in the oral surgery clinic clarified the rest—he fell in love with the surgical side of the field and never looked back.
Dr. Venkataraman was introduced to Nuvia by fellow surgeons from his Mount Sinai program. They talked about the surgeries, the efficiency, and the level of support from the team, and he wanted to be part of that.
He’s especially drawn to Nuvia’s permanent teeth in 24 hours approach. Patients often walk in with broken-down teeth and a real lack of confidence that affects daily life. Being able to be part of giving them a restored smile the next day—and to see them smiling and happy afterward—is what makes the work rewarding.
For patients who are nervous, his advice is simple: dental anxiety is extremely common, so start with a consultation. There’s no surgery involved in the first visit, just a chance to find out what’s possible.
Outside of work, Dr. Venkataraman recently got married and just returned from a honeymoon that took him across Asia and Australia. He has also traveled through South America and Europe and hopes to keep exploring. He’s a big basketball fan—LeBron James is his guy—and you’ll usually find him catching a game whenever he can.
Dr. Ryne Johnson, DMD, is the restorative dentist and prosthodontist at Nuvia Dental Implant Center in Providence, RI. He completed his undergraduate studies at Brown University, earned his dental degree from the University of Pennsylvania, and finished his prosthodontics training at Tufts University. He has been practicing since 1986—nearly 40 years—and previously served as Chief of Dentistry for the VA in Charleston, South Carolina.
Dr. Johnson entered dentistry from a premed track at Brown, drawn to the creativity of the work, the chance to make things with his hands, and the effect a restored smile can have on a patient’s life. He’s direct, detail-oriented, and laser focused on the quality of his work. As he puts it, he brings decades of expertise and passion to the table, and that is what patients ultimately benefit from.
After nearly 40 years in conventional implant prosthodontic practice—where cases typically involved months of delayed healing and time in temporary dentistry—Dr. Johnson joined Nuvia to work within a very different model. Nuvia’s workflow allows the team to deliver a definitive, finished reconstruction the day after the implants are placed, rather than months later.
For Dr. Johnson, that’s what sets the permanent teeth in 24 hours approach apart. He sees Nuvia’s protocol as a proven, well-established, cutting-edge process—one that has now scaled to more than 50 sites nationally. His advice to patients considering treatment: do your homework, weigh the value of a definitive result delivered in 24 hours, and expect the experience to be life-changing.
Outside of work, Dr. Johnson enjoys spending time with his family, including trips to their vacation house. He’s an avid fly fisherman and golfer, loves traveling with his family, and enjoys cooking for friends at home.
The traditional dental implant process can be outdated, inconvenient and long. Nuvia’s 24hr permanent teeth process is safe, convenient and fast.

*Not all those who come in for a consultation are eligible for this treatment. Results may vary in individual cases.
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.
The process is simpler than most people expect. Here's how it works, start to finish:
Step 1 — Your Consultation After the 60-second quiz, you’ll have a consultation if you could be eligible. We take a full set of images of your jaw, review your bone health, and give you a straight answer about whether you're a candidate. You'll leave knowing exactly what treatment looks like and what it costs. No vague ranges, no surprises later.
Step 2 — Designing Your Smile Before surgery, you and your restorative dentist decide what your new teeth will look like — the shape, size, and shade. It's your smile, and you have a say in how it turns out. The moment surgery wraps up, our in-house lab gets to work building them so they’re ready for you the next day.
Step 3 — Surgery Day Your CRNA puts you to sleep, and you're out for the procedure. Your surgeon places the implants while you sleep. When you come around, it's already done. Patients are consistently surprised by how little of an ordeal it feels like once it’s over.
Step 4 — 24 Hours Later: Your Permanent Teeth This is where Nuvia is different from other providers. You return the next day and walk out with your final zirconia teeth — already finished by our lab overnight. No healing denture, no months of waiting to find out what your permanent smile looks like. Other providers in Rhode Island, including those offering All-on-4®, typically send patients home in a temporary set of healing teeth for what could be up to 10 months or more before the final teeth are ready. That wait doesn't exist here.
Step 5 — Recovery and What Comes Next Soft foods right away, and getting back to normal life with your new smile. Your follow-up appointments track how your implants are integrating with the bone. Most patients get cleared for an unrestricted diet around the four-month mark and can eat whatever they’d like.
Patients from Providence, Johnston, Cranston, North Providence, Smithfield, Woonsocket, and across Rhode Island have experienced Nuvia’s Permanent Teeth in 24 Hours process, which has a {{success_rate}} success rate — outperforming traditional methods, which studies report at 93.3% to 98%.
Sometimes it’s hard to notice change when it happens slowly over time, like changes to your smile. Ask yourself if you’ve stopped ordering certain things at restaurants. Maybe you’ve started sitting a certain way in photos or you’ve got good at laughing without showing your teeth. If any of these things have become normal for you, it’s already been too long.
What most people don't know is that it's not just a confidence problem. Failing teeth can actively damage your health — bone loss in the jaw, chronic infection, and links to serious conditions like heart disease and diabetes. Getting a permanent solution isn't vanity. It's one of the best health decisions you can make.
Dentures are often the first option people try — and for many, they become a lesson in what they should have avoided from the start.
Patients often report that the fit is never quite right. They can shift when you eat, cover the roof of your mouth, and for a lot of people cause gagging or sores that never fully go away. They frequently require adhesives, nightly removal, and adjustments as your jaw changes shape beneath them — because dentures don't stop bone loss, they just sit on top of it.
A significant number of denture patients end up pursuing implants anyway, usually after years of frustration. By that point, bone loss has often made the process more complicated and more expensive than it would have been initially.
Implants are fixed in place, feel like natural teeth, and don't come out. Not only do they solve the problems that come with dentures, they also protect your bone health. Most dental implant patients wonder why they waited.



Dental anxiety keeps a lot of people from getting care they need. At Nuvia in Providence, you’re comfortably asleep under general anesthesia for the procedure. A licensed CRNA manages your anesthesia and monitors you throughout. The surgeon focuses on placing your implants. These are separate people with separate jobs, and that separation is what makes the process safe.
It’s not common for most Providence-area providers offering All-on-4® to have a dedicated CRNA in the room for every procedure. That’s a difference that matters.
