Experience something truly unique when you get dental implants with Nuvia. Say goodbye to countless follow ups, fittings, and temporary teeth. Here’s how you can get permanent zirconia teeth in 24 hours from Nuvia.
Zygomatic implants require a surgical procedure that must be performed by an experienced surgeon due to its complexity and the proximity to sensitive facial structures. At Nuvia, all we do is dental implants. Our dental implant providers have extensive experience with both standard dental implants and zygomatic implants.
Additionally, due to their invasive nature, patients may experience a longer initial recovery period with potential discomfort or swelling.
Zygomatic implants are designed to last a lifetime. Proper dental implant aftercare, oral hygiene, and regular visits to the dentist can help to ensure the integrity of your implants.
The procedure for placing zygomatic implants is performed under general anesthesia or sedation, which means patients get to sleep comfortably during the surgery. Post-operative discomfort can vary but is generally manageable with prescribed pain relievers and by following the instructions from your dental implant provider.
Zygomatic implants enjoy a high success rate. This success is attributed to the strong anchoring in the zygomatic bone, which provides excellent stability for the implants.

Nuvia patients love their zirconia teeth. Before getting their dental implants, each patient participates in a smile design, which may be done the same day as their initial consultation. This is where they can choose the shape of their new teeth and what they’d like their smile to look like. However, you can be the judge of whether or not zirconia teeth look good. See patients with their new smiles here.

Zirconia is a high quality material that is much more durable than cheaper acrylics. This will play a role in the cost of zirconia teeth. However, it’s important to consider the maintenance of dental implants and how a higher-quality material may be less prone to breaking, cracks, and costly repairs.

Zirconia teeth are designed to look and feel as close to natural teeth as possible. Nuvia uses digital scanning technology to create your zirconia teeth so they are just the right fit for your mouth.
There are many different types of dental implants; those made from different materials, single vs full mouth dental implants, or even traditional implants vs permanent teeth in 24 hours.
Dental implants are also categorized based on placement. Endosteal implants are placed directly into the jawbone; subperiosteal implants are positioned on top of the jawbone but beneath the gum tissue; and zygomatic implants are anchored in the cheekbone.
Determining the "best" type of dental implant depends on individual circumstances and needs. Endosteal implants are one of the most common placement types of dental implants; however, patients with little bone density would really benefit from zygomatic dental implants.
Additionally, the type of dental implant that will be ideal for a patient is also based on what their goals are. If they’re looking to improve their oral health and ability to eat/chew quickly, permanent teeth in 24 hours can do just that.
The healthiest dental implant is going to be the one that is recommended by your dental provider who will assess your jaw health.
To learn about the downsides of all-on-4® dental implants, check out this video.
All-on-4® dental implants support a full arch of teeth, typically consisting of about 10 to 14 prosthetic teeth (fake teeth). This setup is designed to replace an entire row of upper or lower teeth using four or more implants as the supporting structure.
Nuvia’s full mouth dental implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care. Other factors can impact the longevity of dental implants such as lifestyle habits and bone density.
Individuals with insufficient jawbone density or those suffering from certain medical conditions that impair bone healing (such as uncontrolled diabetes or severe osteoporosis) may not be suitable candidates for All-on-4 implants. Heavy smokers or those with poor oral hygiene might also face increased risks of implant failure and may not qualify for dental implants.
Full mouth dental implants are an excellent solution for individuals who have lost most or all of their teeth and are looking for a durable, functional, and aesthetic replacement. They offer significant advantages over traditional dentures, including improved oral health, increased comfort, and great functionality in eating and speaking.
Surgery is required to place full mouth dental implant; however, you will be comfortably asleep with general anesthesia during the procedure at Nuvia. Each patient is assigned a Board Certified Nurse Anesthetist for each Dental Implant Surgery at no additional cost!After the surgery, it isn’t uncommon to feel some discomfort during the first few days of healing. For more information on what to expect in terms of discomfort after surgery, check out this article.
Recovery time can vary depending on the extent of the surgery and the individual’s health. Initial healing typically occurs within a few weeks, but the complete integration of the implants with the bone can take several months. Most patients can return to normal activities within a few days to a couple of weeks after the surgery.
The number of implants needed for a full mouth restoration can vary depending on the method used. Common configurations include All-on-4® dental implants, which uses four implants per arch, and All-on-6 or All-on-8, which use six to eight implants per arch, respectively, providing additional support and stability.
You may have heard that dental implants, though life-changing, can be a lengthy, drawn out, and even frustrating process. You do not have to wait for what could be 10+ months before enjoying a new set of permanent zirconia teeth – You can get them in 24 hours.
Nuvia’s unique dental implant process, called 24-Z, lets patients skip the hassle and inconveniences of traditional methods of getting dental implants. Rather than filling your calendar with various follow up visits and dealing with cracks, breaks, and chips on temporary teeth, you can enjoy the convenience of getting dental implants and new zirconia teeth in a 24 hour period.
Many Nuvia providers have extensive experience doing dental implants the traditional way and the 24-Z way. Here is what they have to say about the process.
So what exactly are zirconia teeth and how do they compare to other materials traditional providers would use? We’re glad you asked. Zirconia is an incredibly durable and strong ceramic material that is much less susceptible to cracks, chips, breaks, stains and other damage that other materials used for fake teeth are.
24-Z, or zirconia teeth in 24 hours vastly differs from traditional dental implant treatments in a few ways. Yes, you can get your permanent teeth without waiting up to 10+ months but there are more benefits to getting 24-Z dental implants instead of traditional implants.
Traditional dental implants typically utilize materials like titanium for the implant posts and various acrylic plastics or porcelains for the fake teeth. The shift to zirconia teeth for 24-Z implants not only enhances durability but also gives patients a very strong and durable set of teeth 24 hours after dental implants are placed.
As part of the 24-Z process, you can enjoy a dedicated team approach to your care. As Dr. Paola Annoni Patel, a restorative dentist at the Tampa Nuvia location, puts it, “The traditional work flow for this All-On-4® procedure involves the surgeon managing all of the anesthesia as well as a major surgery. At Nuvia we have the advantage of having a very talented CRNA on staff that helps in managing the whole sedation process. So our oral surgeon can focus directly on doing the surgery and providing [dedicated patient care] without having to split their brain into multiple different corners.”
This approach of giving each patient a dedicated team of professionals ensures that the surgical and restorative phases are seamlessly coordinated, offering a high level of patient care so patients don’t have an experience from traditional methods where "too many cooks in the kitchen" can complicate the process.
At Nuvia, you’ll get a team that only does dental implants, day in and day out. You won’t have the same experience anywhere else.
While zirconia teeth offer many great benefits for dental implant patients, other providers frequently use acrylic plastics to create temporary teeth for their patients. Here is how the two compare:
Zirconia offers exceptional durability compared to acrylic plastics and other dental materials. Its resistance to wear and tear is one of its most notable advantages. Dr. Albert Park emphasized that zirconia teeth are far less likely to fracture or need repairs, unlike acrylic, which can be prone to breakage and falling apart over time. This durability translates into fewer dental visits for repairs and adjustments, significantly enhancing long-term oral health and reducing overall costs.
Another thing patients love about zirconia teeth is how natural they feel. Unlike acrylic, which can sometimes feel bulky or less like natural teeth, zirconia's density and weight are closer to that of natural tooth enamel, offering a more familiar sensation and function. Those who have been missing teeth for a long time may take a little more practice to get used to them.
Zirconia teeth are known for closely resembling natural teeth, avoiding the opaque and sometimes unnatural look of acrylic false teeth.
Every case is different. Some patients require different types of dental implants such as zygomatic implants due to bone loss, or may not need dental implants on both the top and bottom of their mouth.
