dental implant Market

According to our new research study on "Dental Implants Market Forecast to 2031 -Global Analysis - by Product, Material, End User," the market is anticipated to grow from US$ 5,963.83 million in 2023 and is projected to reach US$ 11,285.47 million by 2031; it is expected to register a CAGR of 8.3% during 2023-2031. The dental implants market growth is attributed to the increasing geriatric population, the growing burden of dental diseases, and the surging demand for cosmetic dentistry.

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are surgically inserted into the jawbone to support replacement teeth or dental bridges. They serve as a foundation for fixed or removable prosthetic teeth that are designed to blend in with natural teeth.

North America accounted for a major share of the global dental implants market in 2023. The North America dental implants market is segmented into the US, Canada, and Mexico. The increasing prevalence of dental diseases, wide acceptance of technological advancements in dental implants, and an increasing number of dental visits are propelling the growth of the dental implant market. In addition, rising government support regarding dental coverage for dental services across the countries also favors the growth of the dental implant market in the forecast period.

In North America, the US is the largest market for dental implants. In the US, dental diseases are one of the most preventable public health challenges in the US. According to the World Health Organization cites 'alarming' dental statistics published in November 2022, more than 1 in 4 (26%) adults in the US have untreated tooth cavities. Additionally, nearly half (46%) of all adults aged 30 years or over show signs of gum disease. Millions of people in the country have some form of periodontal disease. As per the US Gum Disease & Gingivitis Statistics, published in January 2024, about 30% of adults have moderate gum disease, 9% of adults in the country have severe gum disease, and 8.52% have some concerns with their gums. As per the American Dental Association (2020), ~5 million people aged 65-74 are edentulous in the country. Therefore, the high prevalence of dental diseases fuels the demand for dental implants in the country.

As per the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, about US$ 2.75 billion is spent annually on cosmetic dentistry in the US. Moreover, numerous private and government organizations provide reimbursement policies to raise awareness of oral and dental care in the country. For instance, in 2017, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, an authority on children's oral health, provides a policy on third-party reimbursement to enhance medical care and manage patients with special healthcare needs. In addition, the CDC provides a Dental Public Health Residency Program to develop skilled specialists in dental public health. This residency program offers lucrative opportunities for dental participants to achieve improved oral health and guided practice in collaboration with public health.

Furthermore, several market players focus on implementing organic and inorganic strategies for market development. For instance, Straumann Group entered into a strategic partnership with Aspen Dental Management, Inc. (ADMI) in September 2021 to provide dental implant solutions, abutments, and CAD/CAM options to more than 1,000 ADMI and affiliated workplaces throughout 45 US states. Additionally, in January 2021, by introducing the Xeal and TiUltra surfaces in the country, Nobel Biocare encouraged dental practitioners to join the Mucointegration era. These innovative surfaces are used on implants and abutments to improve tissue integration at each level.

Increasing Digitization by CAD/CAM Technology are the Future Trends in the Dental Implants Market

Dental implant technology has undergone noteworthy advancements in recent years, revolutionizing the field of dentistry and changing the lives of millions of patients globally. Digital technologies such as computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) have transformed dentistry, mainly in fabricating implant-supported restorations, allowing extremely customized prosthetic solutions personalized to each patient's unique oral anatomy and aesthetic preferences. CAD/CAM technology makes it possible to design and produce a wide range of dental restorations, from individual crowns and bridges to full-arch implant-supported dentures. This technology allows for the accurate creation of dental prosthetics that not only fit perfectly but also work efficiently in the patient's mouth. It plays a crucial role in digital workflow for manufacturing and designing dental prostheses. The use of CAD/CAM technology allows for digital design and fabrication of dental prosthetics, such as crowns, veneers, bridges, inlays, and onlays, directly in lab settings or a dental office, offering more accurate fit and superior aesthetics. The precision of CAD/CAM systems is unmatched compared to traditional molding and casting methods. By automating the design and manufacturing process, CAD/CAM ensures accuracy that significantly reduces the need for modifications and redesigning.

Benefits offered by CAD/CAM systems include user-friendly operations, precise placement of implants, digital impressions, improvement in patient safety, and long-lasting restorations. The technology provides real-time troubleshooting, which notifies the in-correction in bit-offs and decreases the remaking of dental fixtures, which is time and cost-effective compared to conventional technology. CAD/CAM-fabricated complete dentures have various advantages over conventionally fabricated complete dentures, such as enhanced predictability of the desired outcomes, decreased porosity, and excellent fitting accuracy. These benefits of CAD/CAM systems in dental procedures increase their adoption, further supporting their usage for producing dental implants.

Digital impressions and CAD/CAM technologies can further enhance the overall precision of dental implant procedures. The approval of this technology increases the dental services offered by the healthcare provider, which, in turn, enhances the patient's experience. CAD/CAM technology is rapidly being approved in the dental industry as it permits dentists to improve their services and offer patients a suitable experience. Therefore, with the continuation of technological advancements in dentistry, the future of dental implants looks promising, as advancements will help make significant improvements and enhance patient safety and outcomes by increasing digitization with CAD/CAM technology. It is expected to amplify the market growth in the coming years.
