What Are Dental Implants and how do they work? What are the different types of dental implants? Answers to these questions and more - particularly how you can get a brand new smile with dental implants in 24 hours from Nuvia Dental Implant Center.
While there are a few different types of dental implants, the basic idea is the same; Dental implants are the industry standard for replacing missing or failing teeth.
They work by using pretend tooth roots (the dental Implant) that a dentist or oral surgeon carefully places into your jaw. This is what the new teeth are attached to and what holds them in place.
Once the Dental Implants are in, fake teeth are securely attached on top that look and feel like your natural teeth.
Those who have had missing or failing teeth share how this is a significant confidence booster for them that helps them to be more comfortable when smiling, talking and eating.

When you’re dealing with missing or failing teeth, a solution can’t come soon enough. At Nuvia, you can get permanent teeth in 24 hours thanks to our proprietary process.
These permanent teeth are ready to be used on a soft-food diet. At Nuvia, you won’t have to worry about a liquid-only diet.
Full mouth dental implants are a great option for those missing 5 or more teeth. They work to restore function, looks, and allow patients to live life on their terms,
They are also great for patients that have enough natural, healthy bone to support them. In case patients don’t have enough bone, zygomatic dental implants can be done to restore the upper teeth.
Traditional methods of placing dental implants can take up to 10+ months after the implant is placed before patients are given their permanent set of fake teeth.
During this delay, patients are typically given temporary, acrylic teeth that can be prone to breaking or cracking. Luckily, you don’t have to experience this with permanent teeth in 24 hours from Nuvia.
Zygomatic dental implants are the solution for those with moderate to severe bone loss in their jaw.
Essentially, a zygomatic dental implant is one that is stabilized using the cheekbone, rather than the jawbone. For more on zygomatic dental implants, check out this page.
The type of dental implant you get or is recommended by your provider will likely impact the cost of the procedure. For example, cases with more complexity or those that require additional procedures can cost more than those that don’t.
What are the 3 types of dental implants?
There are many different types of dental implants; those made from different materials, single vs full mouth dental implants, or even traditional implants vs permanent teeth in 24 hours.
Dental implants are also categorized based on placement. Endosteal implants are placed directly into the jawbone; subperiosteal implants are positioned on top of the jawbone but beneath the gum tissue; and zygomatic implants are anchored in the cheekbone.
Which type of dental implants are best?
Determining the "best" type of dental implant depends on individual circumstances and needs. Endosteal implants are one of the most common placement types of dental implants; however, patients with little bone density would really benefit from zygomatic dental implants.
Additionally, the type of dental implant that will be ideal for a patient is also based on what their goals are. If they’re looking to improve their oral health and ability to eat/chew quickly, permanent teeth in 24 hours can do just that.
What is the healthiest dental implant?
The healthiest dental implant is going to be the one that is recommended by your dental provider who will assess your jaw health.
The traditional dental implant process can be outdated, inconvenient and long. Nuvia’s 24hr permanent teeth process is innovative, convenient and fast.
