ABC4’s Good Things Utah recently welcomed Dr. Jordan Heimer, Nuvia’s Head of Restorative Dentistry, to discuss how life-changing a permanent set of teeth can be especially when patients all over the country can get them in 24 hours.
In this interview, Dr. Heimer explained how patients experience multiple challenges with traditional methods of full-mouth dental implants and how Nuvia is transforming both smiles and the patient experience with "Permanent Teeth in 24 Hours".
During his visit on the set of Good Things Utah in Salt Lake City, Dr. Heimer painted a picture of what it used to be like to get full mouth dental implants.
For decades, people suffering from missing or failing teeth have had limited options.
The typical process for full-mouth dental implants required patients to wear uncomfortable, temporary dentures for up to 10+ months while their implants healed.
These temporary teeth, made from acrylic plastic, could easily break and lead to frustration along with more visits to the dentist.
Unbelievably, this is still how full mouth dental implants are widely done. You may have heard this process be called “Teeth-in-a-day”.
Luckily, Dr. Heimer brought good news to viewers of Good Things Utah. Patients no longer have to endure the hassle of temporary teeth.
Unlike conventional approaches, Nuvia delivers a permanent zirconia set of teeth in just 24 hours after the dental implant procedure.
That means no waiting months for a final set of teeth, and no dealing with weak, temporary solutions that seem to break at the worst times.
When asked about how this is possible, Dr. Heimer shared that Nuvia has developed a highly efficient and precise system that allows patients to receive their permanent set of teeth in just one day.
"The mouth, lips, and tongue are incredibly sensitive to change," he explained. "Everything gets used to a feeling and then if the patient goes back for six months later [for permanent teeth], then you have to change all of that again... That is really a struggle– versus [Nuvia] puts them in their final prosthetic."
Patients don’t have to re-adjust multiple times throughout the process of getting new teeth with permanent teeth in 24 hours. One set of beautiful, custom-fit teeth. One-time adjustment.
Nuvia’s novel approach has sparked the curiosity of many in the dental field leading to Nuvia’s expansion as more and more providers want to be able to offer their patients this kind of experience.
During the segment, Dr. Heimer highlighted that each Nuvia patient has a highly-experienced, three-provider team. This is for patient safety, creating a high-quality smile, and providing exceptional care.
CRNA (Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist) – Focuses solely on patient safety and comfort during sedation.
Oral Surgeon – Performs the implant surgery and with years of oral & maxillofacial surgery can take on complex cases.
Restorative Dentist – Creates well-fitting, beautiful new teeth.
Dr. Heimer notes how this approach is unique and how other providers might take on each role themselves. “I've done it all myself, like all three of those, and it can it's very stressful. And so we've shifted it to where we have every person focused on what they're best at”.
Nuvia’s approach not only helps keep patients safe, it allows providers to be highly-focused on what they’re doing instead of multi-tasking and becoming stressed.
Not only does this approach help give patients the experience they have at Nuvia, it is one contributing factor to the 99.13% success rate of Nuvia Dental Implants.
