Missing and failing teeth no longer means waiting for months for a permanent solution. Dr. Jordan Heimer joins the set of New York Living to share how permanent teeth in 24 hours can change smiles overnight - without the drawbacks of traditional methods.
Dr. Heimer broke down the two most common approaches in traditional full-mouth dental implants, both of which come with significant downsides:
With this approach, patients are left wearing uncomfortable dentures for up to 4-6 months while their implants heal, potentially making it difficult to eat or speak naturally.
Dr. Heimer notes that “Teeth were not meant to move”; however, that is a big downside of removable dentures. They can be prone to slipping, falling out, getting in the way.
Another approach is “Teeth-in-a-Day®” or temporary teeth that are fixed to the dental implants. These are typically flexible acrylic teeth that can break easily, leaving patients frustrated and could result in requiring frequent adjustments.
These teeth are not custom for each patient like a final set of teeth would be and could feel bulky or uncomfortable. Patients may be stuck with temporary teeth for up to 10+ months.
Luckily, the traditional method is now the old method and patients can experience something different.
Dr. Heimer explains that for Nuvia patients there’s no waiting and no temporary solutions. Instead of enduring months in removable dentures or breakable acrylic teeth, patients receive their final set of permanent zirconia teeth just 24 hours after the procedure.
He emphasized that this removes the anxiety patients often feel about traditional dental implants—there’s no fear of dentures slipping in social settings and no teeth breaking, leading to more appointments.

Dr. Heimer explains that it isn’t uncommon for one provider to monitor anesthesia, perform the dental implant surgery, and create the final set of teeth for a patient. In the past, he juggled each of these roles as well.
However, not only can this be exhausting for a provider, it can have an impact on the patient experience.
With patient safety and comfort being top of mind at Nuvia, each patient has an oral surgeon, a CRNA, and a restorative dentist all working to give them a new smile.
With a dedicated CRNA monitoring patients during the procedure, the oral surgeon is able to give their full focus to the surgery rather than multi-tasking both jobs as is common at other practices.
The team approach also allows highly trained professionals to collaborate in order to give patients a beautiful, high-quality smile.
If you’re tired of dealing with loose dentures or missing teeth and don’t want to spend what could be the better part of a year waiting for new teeth, you don’t have to.
