Tampa, FL, October, 2026 — Reality TV star Cortney Reardanz's fiancé, Phil, got a brand-new smile at Nuvia Dental Implant Center. With an upcoming wedding, the couple didn't have a year to spend waiting on dental work. Phil walked into the clinic for surgery and walked back in 24 hours later to get his permanent teeth.
Phil had dealt with dental problems for about four years. He was back at the dentist every couple of months, and he worried about breaking a tooth every time he ate.
Life in the public eye added a new kind of pressure. Online comments started pointing out that Phil was missing a tooth and rarely smiled in photos. Reading them made Phil self-conscious about a smile he'd never given much thought.
Cortney said the comments made her sad. To her, Phil is funny, silly, and playful, but the hate kept people from seeing that side of him.
Phil made it clear that Cortney was the reason he went through with it. He didn't want her to be embarrassed by what people were saying about him online.
I'm scared even now every day. I'm like, you sure you wanna do it? Are you sure you wanna do it? Like, tomorrow's the day. Do you wanna back out now? Like, I just get anxious. With our wedding coming up, I didn't have a year to wait. How do you feel about getting the implants? I'm a little nervous about it. I'm not doing this for me. I'm doing this for you because I love you. Bye. Courtney tells me I have to smile all the time. Smile more. And some of the bad comments are that I'm never smiling or not showing my teeth. With anybody in like the public eye or like social media or TV, you get so much online hate that I think he wasn't prepared for. So it makes me sad. He's going through all this online hate about his smile and his teeth. I never thought about my smile instead. I started reading all the nasty comments from people on social media. Then I become more self conscious about it and decide I wanted to do something to fix it. I'm hoping once he gets the implants and has a new beautiful smile, he'll start receiving like positive comments and love. And I hope the hate will stop. The first day I met Courtney, knew she was different than anybody else. Just her laugh, her smile. People would be surprised, like, how funny and silly and childish Phil is. I think he's just insecure about his smile because a lot of people commented he's missing a tooth. So it makes me sad like the world doesn't see that side of him or like his playful self where like, why is he not smiling? If Courtney wasn't in my life right now, I probably wouldn't even do this. I'm doing this because I don't want her to be embarrassed because of the bad things being said on social media about me missing the one tooth, and I want to be perfect for her. Walking into the clinic tomorrow, I'm a little bit nervous. I haven't had no teeth since I was about three months old. I'm just hoping everything works out. When I first started looking into this, most places want 10 to 15 appointments where you could be waiting over a year before you get your permanent teeth. Nuvia does it in twenty four hours. That's it. I'm hoping once he gets the implants and has a new beautiful smile, he'll start receiving like positive comments and love, and I hope the hate will stop. I felt more reassured. Another patient was in the lobby and she's like, Oh, I'm here for my four month checkup. Everything's great. I love it. I was talking four days, but I was freaking out for a second. It's going to be a lifetime of having no more problems as I'm getting older, my teeth are going to get worse. I'm going to be spending money at the dentist all the time. It's worth the financial expense and a little bit of pain for a couple days to be happy and have a good smile forever. Phil and Courtney just walked in only twenty four hours after Phil's surgery.

I hope it goes good. I hope he's not in pain the next few days. One, two, You can take off your mask. People that doubt what Courtney and I have, I don't really care what they think. It's what we think that really matters. It's a new beginning for me. I feel now I have a lot more confidence. Smile more. I don't worry about teeth. Like if I would eat something, I'd worry about what if I break a tooth or I'd go back into dentist.

Why Did the 24-Hour Timeline Matter So Much?
When Phil started looking into his options, most offices quoted 10 to 15 appointments. Some patients wait more than a year to get their permanent teeth that way. With a wedding on the calendar, Phil and Cortney didn't want to spend their engagement working around months of temporary teeth and dental visits.
Nuvia's permanent teeth in 24 hours process changed the math for the couple. Phil had surgery on day one and returned the next day for his new smile.
Phil also knew his teeth would only get worse with age, bringing more dentist visits and more costs.
"It's worth the financial expense and a little bit of pain for a couple days to be happy and have a good smile forever," Phil said.
How Does Nuvia Deliver Permanent Teeth in 24 Hours?
Nuvia uses the All-on-4® method, which places implants at an angle to make the most of the bone a patient already has. An oral surgeon places the implants, a CRNA manages sedation, and a restorative dentist designs and attaches the new teeth. All three work under one roof at every Nuvia center.
While the patient rests after surgery, Nuvia's in-house lab builds a custom set of zirconia teeth. Zirconia is a strong, tooth-colored material made to last.
Phil admitted he was nervous the night before his procedure. Cortney was nervous too. A conversation in the lobby helped calm him down. Another patient there for her four-month checkup told him everything was going great and that she loved her new smile.
Twenty-four hours after surgery, Phil and Cortney walked back into the clinic to see his new smile. Phil now says he has a lot more confidence. He no longer worries about breaking a tooth when he eats or making another trip back to the dentist.
Across more than 44,000 patients treated, Nuvia providers have a 99.1% dental implant success rate.

Not everyone is a candidate for permanent teeth in 24 hours. Every Nuvia consultation includes a 3D CT scan, so patients can learn if they qualify for full mouth dental implants, see what their options are, and get their exact treatment cost with no commitment.
Nuvia offers all-inclusive pricing with no hidden fees. A free cost and information guide breaks down pricing, financing options, and common questions surrounding cost.
