No need to get it removed.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The surgery was done more than seven years ago and till date there is no pain or problem due to the implant. In these 7 years the bone has already healed well and the implant is properly fixed inside. There is no need to remove it now as you do not have any problem.
Best to leave it as it is.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
