Reality TV Star Cortney Reardanz's Fiancé Gets a Brand-New Smile in 24 Hours at Nuvia Dental Implant Center

Facing a wedding and online critics, Phil skipped the year-long wait and got permanent zirconia teeth in 24 hours.

TAMPA, FL, UNITED STATES, October 22, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- 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.

Why Did Phil Decide to Get a New Smile?

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.

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.

What Should Someone Know Before Getting Full Mouth Dental Implants?

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.

Dental problems tend to get worse and more costly the longer they go untreated, just as Phil found over four years of repeat dental visits.
