As an oral surgeon and Chief Clinical Officer at Nuvia, I’m fascinated with advancements in dental care. I've witnessed firsthand the transformative power of technology in dental implants and how newer technology enables more people to restore their smiles and change their lives.
At Nuvia, we are committed to pushing the boundaries of what's possible and using cutting-edge advancements to improve our patient’s experiences. This drive towards progression is not just a part of our work; it's at the core of our mission so we can continue to help others transform their smiles.
Over the decades, dental implants have seen significant technological advancements. Initially, implants were simple devices with many limitations and required long wait times for permanent teeth. Today, modern dental implant solutions include advanced solutions for replacing missing teeth that enable patients to get high quality smiles with permanent teeth in 24 hours.
The All-on-4® dental implant technique has been a game changer in the world of dental implants and is used by Nuvia and other providers alike. This procedure allows us to replace an entire arch of teeth with just four implants, supporting a full set of prosthetic (fake) teeth. It's not just about restoring functionality; it's about giving patients their smiles back quickly and efficiently.
This method significantly reduces recovery time and in many cases, reduces or eliminates the need for bone grafting, making it an excellent option for many of our patients including those who have experienced bone loss.
Digital implant planning is a key component in modern dental implant solutions. It allows patients to get their smiles with precision and detail that wasn’t possible a couple of decades ago. The goal with digital implant planning is to make sure the dental implants and fake teeth are perfectly positioned to create beautiful, functional smiles.
There have been leaps and bounds made in developing new technology to make dental implants better and better. Traditional dental implants are much better today than they were a couple of decades ago; however, further advancements in modern dental implant solutions have been made that make it possible for patients to get their permanent teeth in 24 hours. This is something that is uniquely offered by Nuvia.
Although other dental implant providers are able to use all-on-4 dental implant methods and may be equipped to provide advanced procedures such as zygomatic dental implants, it can be a drawn out and lengthy process taking up to 10+ months. In these instances, a provider will place a temporary set of teeth that will be replaced by permanent teeth months later.
The traditional dental implant experience may also entail a liquid diet for some time and could require more follow up visits.
Permanent teeth in 24 hours from Nuvia is just what it sounds like. After the implant surgery, patients receive their permanent set of teeth that they can begin to use on a soft-food diet immediately. Permanent teeth in 24 hours can save you time by cutting down on necessary return visits and makes for a great solution for patients who are traveling for dental implants.

Smart implants are an adaptation of current dental implants that are still undergoing research and development. These devices will be able to monitor health metrics in the mouth, such as bone growth and temperature, potentially even detecting early signs of infection or implant failure. While still in the early stages of development, smart implants could revolutionize post-operative care and long-term monitoring of dental implants.

While dental implants have become the industry standard for replacing missing teeth, there are other options outside of modern dental implant solutions that can be used in restorative dentistry and repairing smiles.
Depending on individual circumstances, dental bridges or dentures can be alternatives for some patients. It is important to note that these do not offer the same bone maintaining benefits. For more information on dentures vs dental implants, read here.
A person aging does not automatically take a toll on the quality of dental implants. However, with age can come additional health and medical needs. It’s important to maintain good oral hygiene habits as you age, including having regular dental check ups.
While dental implants are designed to be a long-term solution, their functionality over time can depend on several factors, including the patient’s oral hygiene, lifestyle choices, and the material used in the implant. With proper care, they can indeed last for decades.

What is the newest technology in dental implants?
Some of the newest advancements in modern dental implant solutions are in the materials that dental implants are made of. Traditionally, acrylic material has been used to create the fake teeth that attach to the dental implants secured in the jaw bone. However, acrylic and ceramic materials are not as strong as titanium and zirconia, two materials that are used to create strong, and durable dental implants.
Modern dental implant solutions often include the use of zirconia and titanium because of their durability and strength against cracking. Get zirconia teeth at Nuvia in 24 hours rather than waiting for what may be up to 10+ months for acrylic/procelain teeth.
