How Mike Recovered After Botched Implants and Finally Got His Dream Smile

“Just when I thought all hope was diminished, Nuvia renewed that and here I am.”

Mike’s story starts back in 2019, when he went through a full mouth procedure elsewhere that, unfortunately, didn’t go as planned. He tried to stay positive, but when that treatment failed, he was left wearing dentures—and facing a future without the confident smile he’d always dreamed of.

‍

For years, Mike lived with the daily struggle of dentures that didn’t fit right.  He was told he didn’t have enough bone for implants. Too many times he was told there was nothing that could be done.

But Mike wasn’t ready to give up.

Finding Hope Again

When Mike came to Nuvia, he still had very little bone left in his upper jaw. It was a tough case. But instead of turning him away, Nuvia’s surgical team came up with a plan that gave him something he hadn’t had in years—hope.

‍

Using advanced zygomatic implants, the team was able to create a strong foundation for his new smile.Even with soft, thin bone, the surgery went beautifully.

‍

In just 24 hours, Mike went from surgery to getting his permanent zirconia teeth—no months of waiting, no removable denture, no endless appointments.

‍

When he saw his new smile for the first time, his reaction said it all:

‍

“Amazing. My life’s back. It’s good.”

‍

Healing, Gratitude, and a New Beginning

Although the first few days after surgery came with a little swelling and bruising, by two weeks Mike was all healed up and said it was all worth it. 

‍

“ Dr. Laor and the surgical team were nothing short of amazing. The entire staff here at Nuvia. Thank you guys from the bottom of my heart.”

‍

“You made it happen when everybody told me there wasn't a chance to get this done. I didn't have enough bone.”

‍

“[Nuvia] made it happen. They found a way.”

There Is Hope

Mike’s story is a reminder that even if you’ve been told “you don’t have enough bone,” or if you’ve suffered from failed dental implants, you might still have options.

If it could happen for Mike, it could happen for you too.
