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:

1. Your oral hygiene
2. Your dental maintenance habits
3. Your consumption habits

Look out for the qualifications of the dental surgeon.

1. Has the dental surgeon undergone training to do dental implants?
Look out for the experience of the dental surgeon.

2. Has the dental surgeon been performing implant surgery for months or years?

3. 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.


The loss of teeth has a profound impact on a patient’s life. In the past, when a tooth was lost to infection or physical trauma, few effective long term treatment options were available.

Dental implants are now the gold standard in replacing missing teeth; that fits a natural, lifelike replacement tooth back into place, without the need to tamper with or damage neighbouring teeth.

Dental implants are easy to care for and looks like a normal healthy tooth. Best of all, it restores a patient’s overall health and well-being — from improving one’s self esteem and appearance, to boosting one’s enjoyment of a good meal and nutrition by being able to chew with confidence.

Dental implants also play a very important protective role. When dental implants are placed to restore a patient’s bite to be well balanced and even, remaining natural teeth are subjected to less stress and wear and tear, as chewing forces are distributed over more units.
