About Nuvia Dental Implant Center - Jacksonville

Nuvia Dental Implant Center in Jacksonville, located on Belfort Road near the Southside area, focuses on full arch dental implant solutions for patients who are missing most or all of their teeth or who are dealing with failing, painful dental work. The practice specializes in All On 4 style full arch implants and describes its process as delivering a permanent, fixed set of replacement teeth in 24 hours after surgery. Many patients arrive after years of root canals, crowns, and extractions that never fully resolved their dental problems, and the Jacksonville team works to give them a stable, functional smile in a single visit.

Care at this location is provided by a coordinated team that includes an oral surgeon, a restorative dentist, and a certified registered nurse anesthetist, so patients are monitored for comfort and safety throughout the surgical appointment. The restorative dentist at the Jacksonville office designs and fits the new teeth, while the oral surgeon handles the implant placement, and the anesthesia provider focuses solely on keeping the patient safe and comfortable during the procedure. This team based approach is meant to combine surgical and restorative expertise so patients can go from a failing or missing smile to a full set of permanent teeth without being referred between separate offices.

Meet the Doctors

The Jacksonville team includes Dr. Livia Barros, DDS, the restorative dentist who designs and fits the permanent teeth, and Dr. Andrew Rockafellow, the oral surgeon who performs implant placement.
