She Was Covering Up Her Dentures With a Mask Until…

For Erika, a travel nurse who thrives on connecting with others, her smile was once a source of pain and embarrassment. 

‍

She loved talking with people, but her dental situation left her feeling self-conscious, so much so that she often hid behind a mask—not just for safety, but to cover up her dentures.

‍

Struggling With Dentures and Discomfort

Before finding Nuvia, Erika’s journey was full of toothaches, decay, and the eventual loss of all her teeth. 

‍

The solution? Dentures. 

‍

But instead of restoring her confidence, these dentures made her feel anything but herself. “They had me feeling like I was Jim Carry with these big fake teeth,” Erika recalls. 

‍

The oversized dentures not only felt uncomfortable but also made her feel “goofy,” taking away her confidence to socialize and be her true self.

A Transformation Beyond the Physical

Everything changed when Erika discovered Nuvia. After receiving her dental implants and permanent teeth, she found herself able to speak freely, engage with others, and most importantly, regain her confidence. 

‍

“It was hard not being able to express myself… It’s just wonderful to be able to have my confidence back and be able to smile and be able to show people who I am,” Erika shares with a renewed sense of self-assurance.

‍

Her new smile has given her the freedom to be seen, to connect, and to be herself without the fear of judgment.

Embracing Life With Confidence

Erika’s transformation goes beyond just fixing her teeth—it’s about reclaiming her life. 

‍

She no longer feels the need to hide behind a mask, and her confidence has soared, allowing her to be the social, engaging person she’s always been. 

‍

“Nuvia gave me the push to go out there, be myself, get back into the social life, be confident, and just smile,” she says, a smile spreading across her face.

‍

Erika’s story is a powerful reminder of how the right dental care can change not just a smile, but a life. 

‍

With Nuvia, she has not only found a solution to her dental problems but also a path back to herself.
