When Lower Dental Implants Make Sense
If you have a healthy set of upper teeth but are missing some of your bottom teeth, lower dental implants may make sense for you. Here is how lower dental implants can change your life:
Lower dental implants anchor new teeth into your jawbone, giving you a stable, natural bite—no slipping. And with permanent teeth in 24 hours, you get your lower dental implants one day and return 24 hours later for your final set of teeth.

Bone loss under the lower ridge is common after tooth loss, especially for those who have used dentures or partial dentures for a long time. Thankfully, modern techniques can often avoid grafting:
All‑on‑4® lower dental implants refers to a method where four (or sometimes more) implants are placed and angled to use existing bone in order to support a full lower arch.
For many patients, the moment those new teeth are in, it’s like someone flipped a switch.
Patients smile without thinking. No more tight-lipped grins or turning away when someone pulls out a camera.
After 4 months of a soft-food diet, patients can eat whatever they want. Whether it’s a crisp apple, a juicy steak, or a handful of trail mix— lower dental implants stay put and do the job.
With lower dental implants, you can feel like yourself again. With no infections caused by failing teeth, better digestion, and a smile you’re proud of, in many ways life can feel easier.
Lower dental implants can transform your life—and it all begins with a simple quiz. Discover if you may be a candidate for permanent lower teeth in 24 hours with a 60-second quiz.



Yes. Implant-supported permanent dentures (different from snap in dentures!) are fixed to dental implants and designed to stay securely in place, so there’s no removing them at night or using adhesive to keep them stable.

Traditional immediate dentures are typically temporary and meant to be replaced once the gums and jaw heal. At Nuvia, patients can receive permanent teeth in 24 hours — fixed teeth attached to dental implants rather than removable temporary dentures.
Often, yes. Temporary dentures are usually bulkier because they’re designed for healing immediately after surgery, while final permanent teeth are typically custom made and often more refined, durable, and designed to feel more natural long term.
Zygomatic implants require a surgical procedure that must be performed by an experienced surgeon due to its complexity and the proximity to sensitive facial structures. At Nuvia, all we do is dental implants. Our dental implant providers have extensive experience with both standard dental implants and zygomatic implants.
Additionally, due to their invasive nature, patients may experience a longer initial recovery period with potential discomfort or swelling.
Zygomatic implants are designed to last a lifetime. Proper dental implant aftercare, oral hygiene, and regular visits to the dentist can help to ensure the integrity of your implants.
The procedure for placing zygomatic implants is performed under general anesthesia or sedation, which means patients get to sleep comfortably during the surgery. Post-operative discomfort can vary but is generally manageable with prescribed pain relievers and by following the instructions from your dental implant provider.
Zygomatic implants enjoy a high success rate. This success is attributed to the strong anchoring in the zygomatic bone, which provides excellent stability for the implants.

Nuvia patients love their zirconia teeth. Before getting their dental implants, each patient participates in a smile design, which may be done the same day as their initial consultation. This is where they can choose the shape of their new teeth and what they’d like their smile to look like. However, you can be the judge of whether or not zirconia teeth look good. See patients with their new smiles here.
Zirconia teeth and Nuvia dental implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care. For more on how to care for your dental implants, read this article about dental implant aftercare.
Zirconia is a high quality material that is much more durable than cheaper acrylics. This will play a role in the cost of zirconia teeth. However, it’s important to consider the maintenance of dental implants and how a higher-quality material may be less prone to breaking, cracks, and costly repairs. For more on how much dental implants cost, download the free dental implant cost guide here.
Zirconia teeth are designed to look and feel as close to natural teeth as possible. Nuvia uses digital scanning technology to create your zirconia teeth so they are just the right fit for your mouth.
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.
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.
The healthiest dental implant is going to be the one that is recommended by your dental provider who will assess your jaw health.
To learn about the downsides of all-on-4® dental implants, check out this video.
All-on-4® dental implants support a full arch of teeth, typically consisting of about 10 to 14 prosthetic teeth (fake teeth). This setup is designed to replace an entire row of upper or lower teeth using four or more implants as the supporting structure.
Nuvia’s full mouth dental implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care. Other factors can impact the longevity of dental implants such as lifestyle habits and bone density.
Individuals with insufficient jawbone density or those suffering from certain medical conditions that impair bone healing (such as uncontrolled diabetes or severe osteoporosis) may not be suitable candidates for All-on-4 implants. Heavy smokers or those with poor oral hygiene might also face increased risks of implant failure and may not qualify for dental implants.
Full mouth dental implants are an excellent solution for individuals who have lost most or all of their teeth and are looking for a durable, functional, and aesthetic replacement. They offer significant advantages over traditional dentures, including improved oral health, increased comfort, and great functionality in eating and speaking.
Surgery is required to place full mouth dental implant; however, you will be comfortably asleep with general anesthesia during the procedure at Nuvia. Each patient is assigned a Board Certified Nurse Anesthetist for each Dental Implant Surgery at no additional cost!After the surgery, it isn’t uncommon to feel some discomfort during the first few days of healing. For more information on what to expect in terms of discomfort after surgery, check out this article.
Recovery time can vary depending on the extent of the surgery and the individual’s health. Initial healing typically occurs within a few weeks, but the complete integration of the implants with the bone can take several months. Most patients can return to normal activities within a few days to a couple of weeks after the surgery.
The number of implants needed for a full mouth restoration can vary depending on the method used. Common configurations include All-on-4® dental implants, which uses four implants per arch, and All-on-6 or All-on-8, which use six to eight implants per arch, respectively, providing additional support and stability.
