For many people, the dental consequences of an accident don’t show up all at once. They can show up years later — in cracked teeth, failed root canals, crowns that keep breaking, and the slow realization that more treatment is always around the corner.
Whether the accident happened when you were a child or more recently, a full mouth restoration with dental implants may be a way to finally stop managing the damage and replace it with a permanent solution.
These patient stories show what’s possible for people who spent years — sometimes decades — living with failing teeth that just seemed to get worse.
Hi. I'm Chris, and I've had these dental implants for two years, but this is the shape I was in before getting them. And I wanna let you know three good things and three bad things about getting dental implants done. And one of those things is figuring out how much this would cost me. That's a big one, but we'll talk about that later. Bad number three. You're gonna talk funny for a while. That's nothing to be worried about. It goes away. It just takes time to get used to your new implants and learn how to talk like you did before. I was a little self conscious after I got these implants because I knew that people would, you know, think that I had false teeth. Let me just say, these aren't dentures. Okay? I'm speaking now as good as I spoke before. Actually, even better. But you will you will have a little bit of a lisp, and, it takes some getting used to and learning how to, pronounce certain words and syllables again like you did. Well, look. If you're worried about talking funny for a little while, don't worry about it. For what these things have done to my self confidence in my life, I would have list a lot longer if I'd had to. Good number three. You know, I like to go out and grill and have a good steak occasionally, and I also like corn on the cob on the grill. Now I spent a lot of time in my life not being able to eat corn on the cob like a normal person. With these teeth, it doesn't matter what I eat. These implants are actually stronger than my what my original teeth were. And you remember that photos before of me before the implant? Imagine trying to eat a steak or corn on the cob with those teeth. And look, if you're the kind of person that likes to have a good steak and grill, maybe some baby back ribs, and you're missing out on those things because of your teeth, you really need to get this procedure done because it's gonna change your life. It changed mine. Now bad number two, your face is gonna be swollen quite a bit after you get all them teeth pulled, but it doesn't take long to get back to normal. I actually thought it'd be a lot more painful than it actually was. They sent me home with medication. I went to sleep, woke up, and took my meds. And before I knew it, I was back at Nubia getting my permanent teeth within twenty four hours. You know, there aren't many things to change your life the way these do that you can have in twenty four hours. And that brings me to good number two, permanent teeth in twenty four hours. All my life, I've been to dentists, and they tried everything. Root canals, crowns, nothing worked. They would fall out, break. There's no comparison at all. And just knowing that I don't have to worry about what I eat or going back to the dentist or, heck, picking up an apple and finding a tooth in it. It's been a game changer for me. I sleep better at night. It's done wonders for my self confidence, and I got it all in twenty four hours. A bad number one. If you're a smoker, well, you might wanna think about quitting. Nicotine will damage the bone and the implant. Let me give you the real. Every day that you wait, you could be losing bone in your jaw. And in some instances, bone loss can disqualify you from getting this procedure done at all. Now look. I know you don't know me personally, but as a friend and someone who is in love with his implants, I'm begging you. Get in there and get it done. Now just like anything in life, this is an investment. But I'm here to tell you from my own experience that it was an investment well worth it. NUVIA made it easy for me, but everyone's different. And and you will have to adjust your finances. But I'll tell you, if I had to do it again and again and again, I would. But the great part is you won't have to do it but once. Hey. Look. I get it. It's hard to find a price online. It's also hard to find a price online for a lot of things. Nubia has a cost guide. It's in the link below and free to download. It's amazing. It'll help you get a better idea and understanding of what you might pay. Now after you've downloaded the cost guide, the next thing you're gonna wanna do is schedule that consultation. That's the only way they're gonna know. When I went for my consultation, they were able to tell me how much I would be spending before I left the office. If your car breaks down and you call a mechanic, he's not gonna be able to tell you how much it cost to fix it without diagnosing it and looking at it. You have to get in for that consultation. And that brings me to good number one, self confidence. Let me tell you something. I never smiled. Every picture of me before I got these implants, my mouth is closed with a goofy little half smile. Now I smile as big as I can at the camera, and people notice. Look. Life is already tough. Why make it tougher by being self conscious of the way you look and having no fun? Life is meant to be enjoyed. Get this procedure and start enjoying life and smiling. People will love your smile. Now having said all that, I do wanna say this. I haven't regretted a day that I had this procedure done. I have more self confidence, taken more selfies than ever before, and I've actually had lots of compliments. Now I wanna be in those pictures. I wanna smile. I wanna be able to feel normal. And I think at the end of the day, that's really all we want. Just to be able to smile and have someone smile back.
Hey, everybody. I have a wonderful life changing story to tell you. At a young age, Brandon was in a horrible ATV accident. Fortunately, he had a helmet on. Unfortunately, the accident damaged a lot of his teeth. He had to get stitches. The surgery had wire his mouth shut, and eventually he had to be in an upper denture. So join me to watch to see how the doctors and the Nuvia team help restore Brennan's confidence and smile back. My name is Brandon Byrd. I'm looking to change my life and my smile. Bring my confidence back. So I'm Dr. Heimer of new v dental implants center. And today we're kind of talking about Brandon burden's case. And when I initially met Brandon, he kind of told us about that. He had been in an ATV accident years and years ago. So when I was 19 years old, I got into a really bad quarrel or accident. So I was at little Sarah Sanders riding my four Wheeler. I had a female on the back with me at the time. She was wearing a helmet. I hadn't been wearing a helmet and we had stopped at one location and decided to sit there and just let the girls play. And she said, you better put on this helmet. So OK. And the blessing that she gave me that day was to walk away from it. Unfortunately, I ended up with surgery, plastic surgery, and my jaw wired shut. Had she had not had made me put on the helmet. I wouldn't be here today. When we initially met with him, you can see that he had lost all of his upper teeth. It it broke the side of the helmet, knocked a lot of my teeth out which caused him to need some extensive oral surgery, which kind of wires jaw shut. And I had my jaw wide shot, so I got stitches right here. I got 76 inches the entire on that, too. It was cut off. I look through a straw and I dealt with a lot of uncomfortableness which caused me to eventually get a denture. And so he had been in a denture for a good amount of time and it kind of caused some self-confidence issues. It was a pretty traumatic experience, so it impacted a lot. He just doesn't want to take the dangers out in front of his significant other. He doesn't like the way that it feels and it fits and it's loose all the time. And then when you throw that against teeth that are loose on the bottom, it causes that denture to pop out and rock. And so it just creates a poor experience overall when you're a denture wear, regardless of how long you've been in that denture, it's important if you want to have this procedure done to see. It's a little sooner than later, because as the teeth are not there, the bone volume shrinks. And so you lose bone in the height where you lose it with. So even his brand of being as young as he is, we look for his doctor looking at patients that are in dentures without any teeth in their mouth. As you bring up this X-ray and this is just kind of one shot, but we're kind of measuring the bone width here. And also our height and our dental implants come in a number of different sizes. And so we have some wine ranges of bone width and height that we need for this particular surgery. However, when it gets thin like this, we potentially have to look at other solutions as well. And so with Brandon, he was luckily enough, we were able to do this traditionally and use just traditional dental implants and get him restored into a, you know, with the smile, the 24 hour delivery that he doesn't have to take out of his mouth. Let's get back to Brandon's story. Before we get to Brandon's story, if you're rooting for Brandon and are excited for his smile, go ahead and throw a comment down below. It affect me in many ways, you know, at a younger age, having to deal with going to the dentist and your parents being able to make ends meet. And try to do what they can for you. You know, I wasn't able to get the help that I needed to be able to get my smile back. So I dealt with it for a year. And then I got my upper adventure when I was 20 years old. I think it affected me mostly as far as me not being able to be the person that I really am a happy person, generally just happy, but having a smile that doesn't promote that. To be that happy person, you're not able to lift your gums and smile. They bring you on. And so, Yeah. Why do you feel like you need to have this surgery? Oh, boy. Because I'm ready for my life to begin, so to speak, and in the confidence where I think I need to be. So just recently, I lost this bottom tooth, and that's mostly what we've been here. I mean, forced me to do something about it now because I do see a lot of clients and I'm the face of a pretty large contracting company. It is a big, big thing in my career and where I want to be is present myself to a lot of people, I think, have expectations. They look at you in a certain way, you know, and that somewhat dictates the future relationships that you have with them. So having a beautiful smile, being confident about yourself is one good step to maintaining a good relationship with the client. I was never a fan of getting the bottom of bottom data, so I was never a solution. And Thank goodness, over the years, technology's evolved to where it is now. To have the option that I have today, how do you find out about Nubia provolone? Because he has just barely got the procedure. You know, he said if you could go back and do it again, he'd do it in a heartbeat. That kind of gave me the confidence of knowing that there is something out there that could definitely work for me. I recently got a really good smoker and we smoked a lot of stuff and caught on the carbs. It's been something that has always been a favorite, but I've never had the confidence to get really good after it. So do you have a similar experience wishing the buying into steak or corn on the cob but can't because of dentures or other dental health issues? Comment down below to share your experience with us. I don't know about you, but I'm excited to see the rest of Brandon smile. Transformation let's go. What are you looking for? To fill the roof of my mouth. Be an odd thing, but somebody that lives with something like that for a while. It's definitely an exciting thing to know that you can filter through your mouth and then of course, all the other benefits that go along with it the confidence, the smile. I could really dig down deep and be who I am. You know, when I'm with my kids and my wife, I feel like I am who I am. So I can be. But when I'm out public, I kind of shy away from that a little bit, just due to the carbon and some of my smile. But I'm looking forward to all that. I just feel for Barney. All right. Well, tell me, how are you feeling? Good Yeah. Yeah so tell me, how. How How's it been? Put this new change. Like learning to walk again. Yeah Yeah. With a smile. All in all, it's been great. The day the surgery was a Monday, I got them installed on Tuesday and went back to Nevada, had a one to recovery day and then haven't stopped working. So a lot better, confident, more confident. And it's getting better and better. There's still a couple of things, you know, that they're working through, like the learning part of it, you know? You know, feeling the roof of your mouth and stuff is also a good thing. What do you do when you look in the mirror? What do you see? I mean, you want me to be honest. Just a star, is it? Yeah yeah, I'm sure I'll be on a magazine or something one day. The billboard? Yeah billboard. Good you guys are all awesome. Happy? I couldn't ask for a better experience when I think about it. You know, I'm doing work using tools, but my face, I think about it a little bit more. You know, and especially somebody else walking by me or something like that, you know, you just kind of have your guard up, you know? It's like rolling in a new Rolls Royce, you know? You ain't going to let no kid ride their bikes by, you know, a valet park this.
Trauma-related dental damage can follow someone for decades. These transformations show what’s possible when patients choose to stop repairing and start replacing.

Some patients have been in and out of dental offices for most of their adult lives — not because of neglect, but because of damage they’ve been trying to manage ever since an accident. These conversations from the Real Talk: Dental Implant Podcast feature patients who reached the point where they were done patching and wanted something permanent. If that sounds familiar, these are worth listening to.
I've had these dental implants for six months now, and here's the shape I was in before getting them. I wanna let you know about three bad things and three good things about getting this done. And one of those things is figuring out cost, which is a big one, but we'll talk about that later in the video. Okay. So bad number three is there was a lot of pressure at first, something unnatural in my mouth. Took a couple months for for me to kinda get used to them, and they're feeling better each and every day. So, yeah. In the beginning, it may feel unnatural. So I'd rather go through this procedure and deal with the uncomfortableness other than what I was going through with the teeth breaking, the root canals, the dry sockets, the cost of the dentist, the taking the time off work. Everyday they start to feel more natural, so it's not that big of an issue. Good number three. So I don't have any any more anxiety of my teeth breaking or or thinking about what I'm gonna eat. When I go to dinner with my family, I can order anything on the menu where before, I had to look look at the choices they had on soup and things like that. It's the ultimate freedom. I can eat like a kid again. Anything I I want, I can have. So bad number two is the lisp. Really hard to talk at first. Your tongue doesn't know where to go. I don't know if it's hitting the palate or it's hitting the teeth. But, everyone said I sounded funny. I I kinda felt like I couldn't communicate as good as I could before. Speaking in church was was really tough for me. I kinda was self conscious that I was gonna have a lisp and people weren't gonna understand what I was trying to perceive in my in my talk. But now it's all getting better. I feel like I can talk normal. I don't have a lisp anymore. So if you're worried about a lisp, it's not permanent, it goes away, and you have nothing to worry about. You're just gonna start talking natural again over time. Good number two, permanent teeth in twenty four hours. I went in, got the anesthesia, and I was up in less than two and a half hours, And had my permanent teeth the next day. Came home that night and went back to work the next day. I was a little swelled, just took minimal pain pills. And within a week, I was hundred percent out of pain, living like normal. So how many things in this world can you get in twenty four hours? If you call a contractor to build you a deck, it takes three months. So the fact that I got permanent teeth in twenty four hours and erased the thirty years of pain, the not being able to smile, having no confidence, not being able to eat, it was all worth it. So the way I found Nubia was, I was at the bank one day, and I mentioned something about my teeth to the teller. And she laughed and smiled and said that her and the lady in the other room both had, twenty four hour teeth from Nubia Dental. And, they explained that it caught the cost was a little a little bit of the reason they waited to do the procedure, but it's one of the best choices they've ever made in their life. And and, they recommended me doing it. I know it's frustrating to find the cost of a procedure like this. Everyone's different. You don't know if you need uppers, you need lowers. Or in my case, I needed a full restoration with uppers and lowers. So when you make an appointment with Nubia, they go over all the numbers with you and give you a cost. In the meantime, Nubia has a great cost guide. And I'm gonna leave a link in the description below for you. So why don't you go take a look? It literally cost you nothing. It'll give you a better idea of what the price might be to change your life forever. So bad number one, you're gonna go through a period, short period where you're biting your tongue and biting your cheeks, and the pain sucks, but it's gone away already. And it's something that's happens every once in a while. It's pretty much gone away, so it's not really a concern anymore. So good number one, just being able to smile again. I had my smile for years. I, like being funny. I like making people laugh, and it was really hard when I couldn't smile myself. The stares I get, the compliments I get, it's just awesome. It's been one of the best choices I've I've ever made in my life, and I would definitely do it again. And I've recommended it to a couple people. They've already had the procedure, and they thank me all the time. They're really happy with it and, enjoying their lives and enjoying their implants. So look, if you're on the fences about this and you've lived the type of life I've lived where you couldn't smile, you had anxiety, you you hid your teeth, you couldn't eat, you just were embarrassed all around from your from your teeth, I recommend you you just look into it and see what what a difference it can make in your life.
Yeah. Here they are. I only got the tops. I'm gonna tell you a few things I liked about these teeth, and I'm gonna tell you a few things I didn't like. One of the things I would like to speak about would be cost, and we'll get to that a little later. I've had my implants about four and a half months, and number six, one of the bad things was speaking. It takes a minute, you know, to get things adjusted so that your tongue gets used to the new teeth so that you can now speak once again freely and clearly. So, you know, give it a chance, take your time, and just realize that there's gonna be a little bit of slurring at first. I am four months and about three weeks in, and I would say I'm speaking fairly well. Number five, one of the good things was that I started thinking about my health about twenty years ago. I I went in one day and it was done the next day. How amazing is that? And I got these teeth and and it's a success. Not only is my health better, but I'm easier to look at too. Number four, one of the bads was flossing. It's not just like flossing the rest of your teeth where you just get the floss and you put it up in there. You gotta actually get the little thing and you gotta put it up under your gums and then clean out in between each stud. Now I did notice when they removed my teeth that I wasn't doing a really good job on the front two studs. They're really close together in my mouth. So it's a spot about that wide, and so I was missing that spot. Sometimes you could tell from when they took them out to clean them. So I'm focusing a little more on getting that spot so I don't have, yuck breath because we don't want yuck breath. So when you're flossing, make sure you get in between all of the studs. I got four on mine. Sometimes it's a six in one, sometimes it's a four in one. So I got the four in one, and I have to be conscious to get all three areas. So, yeah. Be careful when you're flossing that. You'd be sure and get all three areas. Number three, one of the goods was cost. Sunuvia has smile coordinators which help with the financing. They get it all hooked up for you and and it's a simple process. And then if you're used to just paying your bills every month, it's just it's a simple process. They can even make it direct deposit. My smile coordinator was OJ, and he was really helpful. And, you know, OJ is not just about the business. OJ is a pretty personal guy, man. He he cares about what he does, and he enjoys life. And and we talked about some cool stuff, and, you know, OJ got it working just perfect. It's within my budget. I got the teeth I wanted, and OJ didn't make it sound scary. He was a very good smile coordinator. And if you're worried about the cost, don't be. We're gonna leave a cost guide down below so that you can get a a good idea before you even go in and see OJ or one of our other smile coordinators. Number two, the last bad is pain. I had less pain from the Nuvia procedure than I had when I got one root canal. Then I have a problem with pain. I'm in pain all the time every day, and I have a huge high tolerance to pain. I would say the pain was there seven to ten days, overwhelmingly. And then after that, it was just a mild toothache per se, a mild toothache per se in four places where the four implants are. After ten days, very mild. After that, went away. And number one, which happens to be the last one of the six, but the best one, is you go in to get the work done, and the next day you leave with these beautiful teeth. How can you beat that? If you like eating steak and beef jerky and and, you know, wonderful fish, shrimp, or even too hard to cut with a plastic fork. I checked it out. So now I can even eat shrimp. By the day, my words are coming out clearer. Now I can eat whatever I want because we're past the doctor's visit at the four month period. Just in case you're not aware, you can't cut shrimp with a plastic fork. So as you can imagine after not having any shrimp for four and a half months, these fajitas are sounding good. Shrimp? Some people are concerned about the gap in between your teeth and your gums, and I'd never heard about a gap before I got my teeth. And now that I have them, there's no problem with the gap. Okay. I got a good comparison for you. I had a bridge done, and so I had to floss under my bridge. And the bridge gap was way bigger than any gap that I have now. My gum seemed to have grown up and filled in everything just so beautifully that it's comfortable. It's not even uncomfortable. You know, I even forget the teeth are there until I go to put my night guard in. When I put my night guard in, that's when I remember I have NUVIA teeth. Other than that, I I remember when I'm flossing them or when I'm cleaning them, but it's just so natural now. Everything is just like natural teeth. It's really nice. Just instead of flossing between the teeth, you floss above the teeth. So you gotta kinda in, go across, you know, you still get a little back and forth action, but it's going across as you're doing it. And don't forget to get the small gap if you have a small gap. I got a small gap about that big. Don't forget to get that. When they took the teeth out after the four months for the examination, I can see that I was missing the small gap a little bit with my flossing. So be sure and get that spot, you don't want yuck mouth. What's really important is our health, and if you can get new teeth and it won't only show that you're healthy, it will show that you care about yourself, And and before I quit drinking alcohol and doing other drugs, I didn't care about myself. I only cared about the party. The party had to stop before I could become an adult and and straighten out my financial situation enough to where I could be put in this position to have teeth. And I don't feel like my material things are what's important in this situation. And I do have some nice material stuff. However, that's not the importance here. The important thing here is my health.
After taking the 60-second quiz to see if you may be a candidate for permanent teeth in 24 hours, you’ll have an in-person consultation at a Nuvia dental implant center near you. Your provider will take imaging and do a full evaluation of your teeth — including any that have been previously repaired. This step is important because accident-related dental damage often goes deeper than what’s visible, and there’s no way to know the full picture without actually looking.
Teeth that have been cracked, root canaled, crowned, or repeatedly repaired after an accident often have a shortened lifespan — even when they’re currently holding. Your provider will walk you through which teeth are stable, which are at risk, and what a full restoration would actually involve. For many patients in this situation, a full mouth approach isn’t about removing healthy teeth; it’s about acknowledging that the damage from years ago has already compromised more than it looks like from the outside.
At your consultation — before any procedure is scheduled — you’ll receive a clear breakdown of the full investment and the financing options you qualify for. Most Nuvia patients choose a monthly payment plan, making full mouth dental implants more affordable than many expected going in. You’ll know exactly what you’re committing to before you commit to anything.
24 hours after your procedure, you’ll return to get your custom set of permanent teeth placed. Nuvia’s in-house lab works overnight with your restorative doctor to have them ready. With many traditional implant processes, getting your permanent teeth can take 10 or more months. That’s not how it works at Nuvia.
For patients whose dental problems trace back to an accident, full mouth dental implants often mark the first time in years — sometimes decades — that their teeth are no longer a source of ongoing worry. No more bracing for the next crown to break. No more planning meals around what you can and can’t chew. No more avoiding photos or conversations because of how your teeth look. What happened to your teeth doesn’t have to define what comes next.
Get clear answers about candidacy, what happens to previously repaired teeth, timelines, and what determines whether full mouth dental implants may be the right next step for you.
