Affordable Dental Implants: How Real Patients Make It Work

The New Year is the perfect time for new beginnings. If you've been hiding your smile, dental implants could be your solution. Achieving a beautiful smile not only boosts confidence, but it also enhances oral health. Joining us now from NUVIA Dental Implant Center is doctor Jordan Heimer, who's sharing more on new technology that can restore your smile in twenty four hours. Welcome, doctor Heimer. Yeah. Thanks for having me. So when some patients hear that they have to get an implant, I imagine they feel a little skittish. Can you briefly explain how dental implants have traditionally been done and the challenges patients face with that approach? Yeah. So, you know, traditionally, dental implants have been done in one or two ways, especially if a patient needs their whole mouth, you know, teeth replaced like we do. So, generally, the the patient walk into the dentist, you know, they'd have their their teeth removed and the implants placed, and they'd either be put into a set of removable dentures for four to six months or those, you know, a set of flexible acrylic temporaries would be attached to those implants. And once again, that patient would be left to heal for four to six months. And the challenges that that those that those kinda bring up is, one, is teeth weren't made to move. And so you put into a set of dentures and, you know, you're always afraid of, like, hey. Are my teeth gonna fall out? Right? You don't wanna you don't wanna be at work or in a family function and and have your teeth fall out of your your mouth or, you know, with the if they're in a you know, if they're already attached to the implants, those materials can can tend to break. And so they it just it just can lead to a lot of anxiety for for patients, in, you know, in the traditional manner that it's been done. Teeth were not meant to move. I'm gonna put that on a t shirt, sir. Thank you so much. I would have to bring levity to something like this because this could really change the life of someone. And I wonder if you could talk to us about how NUVIA is different than those traditional methods you just mentioned. Yeah. So, you know, at NUVIA Dental Implant Center, we focus and and our goal is is we place patients into a permanent, set of teeth the very next day. So we we skip those temporary phases. And so it takes that that worry of of of a patient's mind of, like, are my teeth gonna you know, are they gonna move and fall out at a family function? Mhmm. Or are they gonna break on me? You know, that that gets the those patients get to put those worries aside, and they you know, the minute that we deliver that that prosthetic for them, they get to go back to their normal life and just just get used to their their brand new smile that we delivered for them. I love that. So I understand each NUVIA patient is treated by three providers. Why is this team approach so important? So I've been doing this this type of dental implant treatment myself for a while now, and I, you know, I did it at one point in time where I did all three. I did the sedation. I did the surgery, and I did the restorative. And that's a lot on a on a provider, and and it can also you know, and so that doesn't always lead to the best outcome. So at Nuvia Dental Implant Center, we are using a CRNA or an anesthesiologist, that person is focusing on that patient's safety while you're having your surgery done. They're, you know, they're solely focused on, okay, keeping that patient safe and comfortable. That allows the surgeon then to to focus on providing the best surgical outcome for that patient. And, you know, the restore this is really a restorative process. So you want a a doc that knows where to put teeth for both function and aesthetics. And so when you combine all three of those that they're re they really get to optimize their skill set, and it really does lead for the best outcome for for each patient. I love that. And let's see this because we have some before and after shots. And I have to say everyone looks fantastic. I mean, look at this. I'm sure there's quite a few viewers who wanna know if in fact this is a painful procedure, what can you tell us? Yes. So, you know, just like we were talking about, you know, we do utilize, you know, CRNA or an anesthesiologist. That way, you know, when a patient comes in for their day of surgery, the only thing they're probably gonna remember is having the IV placed. After that, they're gonna drift off to sleep, and they're not gonna remember a thing. You know, in fact, many of our patients come back the next day, and they're like, man, that was the best nap I've had in a long time and, you know, I I don't remember anything. I like that. That is that is good. So if someone is considering dental implants, how do they get started with NUVIA? So they're just gonna go to our website. It's NUVIA smiles forward slash news TV and take a sixty second quiz, and that may tell a patient if they're a candidate or not. If so, we'll reach out and have you come in for a scan or a consult and discuss your options. It is that simple. Well, thank you so much, doctor Heimer.
