You may have heard some buzz around traveling for dental implants lately. But why do so many people prefer to travel to Nuvia rather than visit a local provider? Here’s what we found:
Permanent Teeth in 24 Hours: Nuvia patients can get their permanent teeth in 24 hours.
Traditional implant providers may need up to 10+ months to get patients their permanent teeth. Don’t want to wait that long? Neither do those who choose Nuvia for the 24-Z process.
The traditional process involves having to use temporary teeth, frequent fitting appointments, and a long wait before getting to enjoy permanent teeth.
At Nuvia, you can get your permanent teeth in 24 hours. Patients come from all over to get dental implant surgery and their permanent teeth all in the same trip.
Experience You Can Trust in a Comfortable Environment: Surgery is a big deal, and for many patients, it can be seriously nerve wracking. Can you relate?
Patients travel to Nuvia knowing that they are getting experienced care from a dedicated team that includes an oral surgeon, restorative dentist, and CRNA.
As a Nuvia patient, you can count on sleeping peacefully during the procedure and getting your customized, precisely fitting, new teeth the next day. Patient comfort and satisfaction is at the forefront of the Nuvia experience.
Eliminate the Need for 12+ Appointments: We understand you’re busy and know that frequent return appointments can be a real hassle to schedule.
Because you get your permanent teeth the day after surgery at Nuvia, you don’t have to keep taking time off work and scheduling frequent return appointments, just one follow up visit 4 months after getting your new smile.
This is a huge part of why so many people travel to Nuvia for dental implants, they know they can get everything done during a 5 day trip. At Nuvia, you don’t need to worry about temporary teeth and frequent visits to make tweaks to your dental implants.
Enjoy a Soft Food Diet Right Away: One of the best parts of getting new teeth is being able to eat what you want! Or at least it should be…
Local providers may have strict diet guidelines after the dental implant procedure, requiring that patients adhere to an all-liquid diet. That certainly puts a damper on the excitement for a new smile.
With Nuvia’s advanced processes, you’ll still need to be careful to eat soft foods for the first four months of recovery, but you’re able to begin using your new teeth immediately after having them placed. No need to be limited to a liquid-only diet for what may be months.
Foreign dental implant providers will oftentimes advertise their low prices - but dental implant cost alone is not the only fee patients who travel have.
Some people may be inclined to go abroad for dental implants due to unbelievably low treatment costs; however, when it comes to surgery, there is more to consider than cost alone.
Here are a few things that you should research that will impact your final dental implants as well as cost.
Material quality: Cheaper materials can lead to lower costs but may result in more frequent cracks, breakages, and damage.
Alternatively, higher quality material may have a higher upfront cost, but won’t need to be repaired as often.
Experience: Did you know that dentists can get certified to place dental implants after completing a weekend course? Even with no hands-on experience… Providers who have not had much experience placing dental implants may charge lower prices so they can get more business.
While some people may be attracted to the price tag, others would consider that getting dental implants involves surgery and want to trust that their provider knows what they are doing.
Those with more experience, knowledge, and skills may be more expensive than those who are just trying to drum up more business. However, they are likely to provide a much different experience and a high-quality end result.
Comfort During the Procedure: When cutting costs to advertise lower procedure pricing, providers may cut local anesthesia and perform the procedure while the patient is awake, though numbed.
This can be disconcerting and can give patients a lot of fear, stress, and worry. Providers who make sure that patients are comfortably asleep during the surgery may have higher costs to cover the local anesthesia used.
Language Barriers: If you’re leaving your native country, there’s a chance you’re headed somewhere you don’t speak the same language.
Dental implants are not a one-size-fits-all solution and it’s important that you’re able to communicate with your provider and care team. Don’t take the chance in letting language barriers and miscommunications have a lasting impact on your smile.
Rest assured that at Nuvia, you get high-quality, Zirconia teeth just 24 hours after surgery. These teeth are durable, strong, and designed to last a lifetime.
Additionally, the Nuvia team solely does dental implants; all day, everyday. If you’re looking for a provider with extensive experience with dental implants, you’re in the right place.
Lastly, each of our patients are comfortably asleep during the dental implant procedure. This service is wrapped into the total procedure cost for no additional fee.
“You think it's gonna be cheaper at first... But if something goes wrong, what do you do?”.
Two Nuvia patients sat down to talk about what it’s like to travel for dental implants and the mistakes they were able to avoid to have the experiences they did.
Here are 3 mistakes to avoid when traveling for dental implants.
Dental implants are an investment. An investment of money and an investment in yourself. You want to make sure you’re making the right choice so it’s important to do your research.
Before going with the first place that seems nice, you should find out everything you can about them. Remember, if there isn’t much information available, that is likely a red flag.
Every patient’s circumstances are going to be a little different; however, it’s important to know what costs there could be.
As Christopher shares, other providers he researched and spoke to had a series of costs for different supporting procedures. It seemed to him that they just kept stacking up.
At Nuvia, when you have your consultation, you’ll be given the upfront costs unique to your circumstances. You can also download the FREE dental implant cost guide for more information about financing, insurance, and cost comparisons.
When choosing a provider outside of the US it can be more difficult to get information about them, their equipment, and what the process will be like.
If you’re traveling for dental implants, these are things you’ll want to know beforehand.
Some individuals choose to travel overseas because they feel that it will be cheaper. Whether the service is discounted or not, these cheaper prices are often advertised in order to drive more business. Discounted services can often be a reflection of the quality of services.
In the end, it’s important to choose the provider that you feel will be able to offer you the best experience.
As Christopher states in the podcast above, “Love who you are enough to take care of yourself”. Don’t settle for a mediocre experience.
The traditional dental implant process can be outdated, inconvenient and long. Nuvia’s 24hr permanent teeth process is innovative, convenient and fast.
