Dr. Heimer shares some good news on Daytime Chicago for those considering dental implants. Traditional methods can take 10+ months, requiring temporary teeth that break, slip, or cause frustration. On the other hand, Nuvia Dental Implant Center is changing everything—by giving patients their permanent zirconia teeth in just 24 hours.
Dr. Heimer highlighted the common problems patients face with traditional dental implants:
Temporary Teeth That Don’t Last – Many patients are given fragile, flexible acrylic temporaries that can crack or break before they ever get their final teeth.
Months of Waiting – The standard implant process forces patients to wait months for their implants to heal, all while they adjust to a temporary set of teeth only to re-adjust to their permanent teeth.
Loose, Removable Dentures – Some patients are left with removable dentures while their implants heal, leading to discomfort, potential embarrassment from denture mishaps, and anxiety about their teeth slipping.
In order to give patients a different experience, Nuvia offers permanent teeth in 24 hours.
On Daytime Chicago, Dr. Heimer explained how Nuvia eliminates the long waiting period by designing and placing a permanent, custom zirconia prosthetic just 24 hours after the procedure.
This method creates a sturdy environment for the dental implants to heal and fuse to the bone in. No need to wait for months while the mouth heals before giving patients a functional and permanent solution.

Another difference that patients can expect at Nuvia in Chicago (and other locations) is the team approach. Each patient is cared for by three different providers in order to keep patients safe and to deliver a beautiful smile.
Instead of one provider that takes on each step of the process and potentially being forced to multi-task, each provider at Nuvia is able to be fully focused on their task.
Oral Surgeon – Performs the procedure. Responsible for removing existing teeth and placing the dental implants.
Restorative Doctor – Designs and places the final teeth for function and aesthetics.
CRNA (Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist) – Makes sure that patients are safely and comfortably asleep throughout the procedure.
Dr. Heimer emphasized that splitting up these responsibilities leads to a smooth and safe experience where patients can get a high quality result that various professionals worked on.
