Let’s be honest—if you’ve spent years hiding your smile, the last thing you want is to finally fix your teeth and have them look… well, fake.
You want a smile that looks and feels like you. It should be natural and feel comfortable.
So let’s take a closer look at what Nuvia smiles look like so you don’t have to ask yourself “will my dental implants look fake?”
Do Dental Implants Look Fake?
Dental implants have come a long way—and so has the technology behind them. What used to be one-size-fits-all is now an incredibly precise and personalized solution. Your teeth aren’t just built to function—they’re custom designed for you.
At Nuvia, your teeth aren’t mass-produced or milled out of plastic. They’re crafted from zirconia, a strong, biocompatible material that mimics the sheen, translucency, and shape of real teeth.
And they’re not floating on your gums like dentures. They’re anchored into your jaw with titanium implants—so they don’t shift, click, or fall out when you speak or eat.
In fact, the most common thing we hear from patients isn’t, “These look fake.”
It’s, “I should’ve done this years ago.”
Take a Close Look at These Smiles
You can see and hear what dental implants are really like from actual patients.
Every smile you see on our website, in our videos, or on our socials belongs to a real Nuvia patient. People who once dealt with broken teeth, failing bridges, and the embarrassment of missing teeth.
Here are just a few Nuvia patients sharing about their experience getting new teeth.

Will My Dental Implants Feel Natural?
That’s another big concern we hear. And it makes sense. After all, you’re replacing all your natural teeth—how could they possibly feel like your own?
The secret is in the fit.
Because Nuvia teeth are designed for your exact facial features, bite, and bone structure, they don’t just look real—they are created to fit your mouth comfortably as well.
Though there may be an adjustment getting used to dental implants (especially after missing teeth for so long), patients report that their false teeth feel completely natural.
Unlike dentures, you won’t be taking your dental implants and new teeth out at night. No messy adhesives, and no worrying about your teeth slipping, clicking, or falling out.
Full mouth dental implants don’t come with the uncomfortable drawbacks that dentures do. Of all the dental solutions to failing and missing teeth, dental implants are the industry standard as they come the closest to the real thing.
What to Do if You’re Worried About Fake Looking Dental Implants
Here’s the good news: you don’t have to figure this out on your own.
Take the 60-second quiz to find out if you might be a candidate for full mouth dental implants.
If you qualify, you’ll meet with a smile consultant—someone who has helped hundreds of patients design smiles they love.
You’ll get a preview of what your teeth could look like and get to pick the shade and color. You won’t have to worry about your teeth looking fake.
Natural Looking Dental Implants with Permanent Teeth in 24 Hours
At most places, you’ll have your surgery… then wait for what could be up to 10+ months wearing a denture while your dental implants heal.
At Nuvia, that won’t be your experience.
You’ll get your implants one day and your permanent set of zirconia teeth just 24 hours later.
That means no plastic healing teeth (temps). No months of waiting. No hiding your smile.
Just one procedure, three providers—including an oral surgeon, a CRNA, and a restorative doctor—and a brand-new smile the very next day.
A Common Misconception: Dental Implants are Too Expensive
Yes, dental implants are an investment—but the idea that they’re too expensive is often based on a misunderstanding.
Many people compare dental implants to cheaper, temporary fixes like dentures or bridges without realizing how quickly those “cheaper” options add up. Repairs, replacements, and ongoing discomfort can drain your wallet and your quality of life.
Dental implants are built to last. At Nuvia, you’re not paying for patchwork. You’re getting a one and done, permanent solution to failing and missing teeth.
Better still, flexible dental implant payment plans make it more affordable than most people expect.

What About the Pain?
Let’s address another concern some people have: Is the procedure painful? It’s one of the most common concerns, especially if your past dental experiences haven’t been the best.
At Nuvia, patients are safely sedated by a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) for the entire surgery. That means you’ll be completely asleep—no pain, no anxiety, and no memory of the procedure. Your oral surgeon will also use local anesthesia to ensure the area is fully numb.
Once you wake up, most patients are surprised by how manageable recovery really is. Yes, you might have some swelling or mild discomfort, but it’s typically addressed with over-the-counter medication—and most people feel significantly better within a few days.
You’ve been through worse. Especially if you’ve dealt with failing teeth, infections, or patchwork dental work that never quite fixed the problem. This is different. It’s a one-time, permanent solution that can get you out of dental limbo.
