Is there a dental implant specialist that I can go to?
There is no such thing as a dental implant specialist. The closest that you will get to a specialist, is a dental surgeon who has gone for rigorous one-year implantology training. To find a dental surgeon who can fit your needs and requirements, it is highly recommended to do the following:
- Look out for the qualifications of the dental surgeon. Has the dental surgeon undergone training to do dental implants?
- Look out for the experience of the dental surgeon. Has the dental surgeon been performing implant surgery for months or years?
- Ask for previous dental implants cases that the dental surgeon has performed. Do they meet your expectations?
Dental implant surgery should not be taken lightly. A good dental implant surgeon will be able to guide you through the process and ensure that you receive the care and final results that you expect.
How long do mini dental implants last?
Your mini dental implants are designed and created to be a permanent teeth replacement solution.
However, while the mini dental implant itself is designed to be permanent, the crown that is attached to it might need to be replaced from normal wear and tear. The lifespan will depend on the following factors:
- Your oral hygiene
- Your dental maintenance habits
- Your consumption habits
Can I remove my mini dental implants for dental implants?
Yes, it is possible to remove your mini dental implants if they have failed. Failed mini dental implants can be due to the following reasons:
- Surgical incompetence
- Infection
- Unsuccessful osseointegration period
- Too much movement during the healing process
- Too much force on the implant
- Loose implant
If you suspect that your mini dental implants have failed, book a consultation with us to address them as soon as possible.
