She Was Tired of Dentists Trying to Take Her Money

Kristy’s experience with dental care left her feeling frustrated, swindled, and ultimately defeated. 

After years of putting her trust in the wrong hands, she decided to stop going to the dentist altogether. But as her dental issues worsened, Kristy realized something had to change.

‍

A History of Disappointment and Distrust

Kristy had her fair share of dental problems—root canals, cavities, and more. Unfortunately, procedures to have those fixed didn’t always go as planned. 

She vividly remembers a time when, after getting a root canal, the dentist cemented her tooth back in place only for it to fall out the same day. This lack of professionalism and care led Kristy to believe that dentists were more interested in her money than in providing quality care.

“I felt like I was being swindled,” Kristy recalls. Disillusioned and frustrated, she stopped going to the dentist, which only allowed her dental issues to worsen over time.

At Nuvia, we hear of patients with a similar experience all the time. Price transparency seems to be hard to come by. However, if you’re curious about the cost of dental implants and how others are paying for theirs, you can download the free dental implant cost guide to get an idea of what will determine the cost of your dental implants.

The Impact on Her Confidence

What bothered Kristy the most wasn’t just the pain or inconvenience of her dental problems—it was the impact on her self-confidence. 

Working in retail, Kristy was constantly interacting with people, and she couldn’t shake the fear that others were judging her based on her teeth. 

This fear made it difficult for her to make friends and put herself out there, both professionally and socially.

She first realized her dental situation impacted her day-to-day life in her 20s when she was trying to get out there more, get a job, and meet new people. The lack of confidence held her back from enjoying life to the fullest, making her feel isolated and self-conscious.

A Glimmer of Hope

Kristy knew something had to change. She wanted to reclaim her confidence and live without the constant worry about her teeth. 

One day, while browsing YouTube, Kristy came across a video made by Nuvia Dental Implant Center. Intrigued by what she saw, she decided to take the next step and filled out the one-minute quiz to see if she was a candidate for dental implants.

You can use the same quiz to see if you may be a candidate as well. Take the quiz below:

A New Beginning

At Nuvia, Kristy was able to get her permanent teeth in 24 hours. Right after her procedure to have the dental implants placed, Nuvia’s in-house lab began working on her final, permanent fake teeth. The very next day they were placed, restoring her smile and saving her what could have been 10+ months of wearing temporary teeth.

Kristy loves her new smile and the opportunity she now has to reinvent herself and feel confident with her teeth.
