Dental implants have increasingly become the preferred treatment for edentulous individuals as practitioner expertise and supporting technology around dental implants continue to advance. More than 3 million implants were placed in the United States in 2019
1 before the COVID-19 pandemic forced a market-wide downturn in 2020. Nonetheless, the market for dental implants is expected to make a sharp recovery within two years before continuing its historical growth trend of 6–7% year-over-year.
This growth will undoubtedly be spurred not only by an aging demographic that contributes to higher rates of edentulism within the population, but also by advancements in supporting technologies such as treatment planning software and surgical guides allowing for greater precision and implant reliability. Furthermore, the implant placement procedure is becoming increasingly commonplace for general practitioners (GPs) without highly specialized training. A broad set of dynamic industry trends will continue to drive exciting transformations within the dental implant market over the coming years.
