Have you ever thought you’d found the perfect quick-fix for your dental woes, only to discover there’s a catch? It’s like snagging an express ticket and then facing a layover.
That’s often the case with what’s known as “Teeth in a Day®”—a term that sounds like a promise of immediate results. But here’s the twist: they're typically a placeholder, a 'temp' until your true smile is ready. This could take up to 10+ months.
Now, let's pull back the curtain on a groundbreaking alternative. Nuvia's Permanent Teeth in 24 Hours doesn't just talk the talk; it walks the walk, bypassing the temps and delivering the grand finale—your permanent and beautiful smile—in just one day.
Curious? You should be, because there’s a world of difference, and we’re here to tell the full story.
Temps, Teeth in a Day®, and Traditional Dental Implants - What Does it All Mean?
In the landscape of dental restoration, terms like "temps" and "traditional dental implants" often pop up, and can sound like a foreign language. Let's translate this for you.
First of all, 'temps', is short for temporary teeth. After you’ve had dental implant surgery, temps are put in place to protect the implants while your gums heal properly.

They may look like real teeth, but they often do not feel like them. They're only meant to be a temporary solution until your permanent, custom-made teeth are ready to be fitted.
Traditional dental implants is an umbrella term that describes the approach providers have taken to dental implants for the last 20 or so years.
After one (or sometimes multiple!) surgeries to place the dental implants, patients wait with either a removable denture or a fixed denture until their permanent teeth are done. This could take up to 10+ months.
Although “Teeth-in-a-day®” sounds like you get your permanent teeth in one day, what it really means is that you will have a set of temporary teeth after your implants are placed. When you pull back the curtain, it is another name for a traditional method of giving a patient dental implants.

Traditional Implants: The Journey from Temps to Permanents
With traditional dental implants, right after the surgery, temps are fitted to your mouth. This means that the doctor will take a premade denture (temp) and begin to drill holes in it around where your implants are so that the device will fit in your mouth.
Once the holes are big enough to accommodate the dental implants, the temps are put in and fixed in place with a liquid plastic they will cure to harden once it is in your mouth.
Keep in mind, this set of teeth is NOT custom fit for your mouth. Patients have described this temporary set of teeth as “bulky” and "uncomfortable.”
These teeth will sit in your mouth until the permanent teeth are made and can only be removed with a special tool in the dental office.
Many patients complain about problems with their gag reflex, loss of taste, food getting stuck under the temp, and irritation of it not feeling natural. Given that these teeth can’t just simply be removed for temporary relief, it can be a long and frustrating journey to your final set.
Temporaries were once the best dentistry could offer during the healing process, but with new, advanced solutions like Nuvia's Permanent Teeth in 24 Hours, they've become a hassle that can be avoided.


The Experience You Deserve: Nuvia's Permanent Teeth in 24 Hours
Instead of suffering through what could be months of temporary teeth, you can get your permanent teeth in 24 hours at Nuvia.
These are teeth that are custom to you and created to fit in your mouth.
After more than 10 years and millions of dollars in research, we've refined a process that keeps patient experience, safety, and comfort top of mind.
Here's how it works:
On day one, you come in for surgery where an oral surgeon carefully places the dental implants. These implants are the anchors for your new teeth.
Then, the magic happens.
Nuvia’s in-house lab technicians get to work immediately, crafting your custom set of zirconia teeth. These aren’t just any teeth—they’re designed to fit your mouth precisely and, with proper care, are made to last a lifetime.
By the next afternoon, your new teeth are ready. You return to the clinic, and have your permanent teeth placed. Just like that, in 24 hours, you walk out with a smile that's ready to shine for years to come.
No need for temporary solutions or repeat visits to get your final teeth.

Cost-Effectiveness Over Time
The traditional dental implant process can often involve hidden costs, such as extra charges for sedation, damage repair, and costs for extra visits, among other things. Unfortunately, these hidden costs can add up very quickly.
This won’t happen to you at Nuvia. Everything is included in a one time, flat fee.
Nuvia’s permanent teeth in 24 hours may even beat the price of traditional dental implants. How? We save on costs with the limited number of appointments needed to get you your teeth. We also don’t use a 3rd party lab with their own upcharge to create your new teeth. Rather than costing you more, we decided to pass those savings on to you.
Lastly, when you compare a temporary solution like dentures to Nuvia’s full mouth dental implants, it may seem like dentures are more affordable at first. However, they aren’t designed to last and could end up costing you much more for repairs, replacements, maintenance, and adhesives over the years.
