Dental Implant Industry Trends and Analysis

The loss of a tooth is a very common issue that people all over the world face. Thankfully, because of the dental implant industry, we are not forced to use a hammer to place shells into our gums like some cultures did in the 7th century.

Even with proactive tooth protection options readily available to consumers, there are still large populations which have older root canals, fillings, and tooth decay issues which will need to be addressed in time. For the time being, implants may become the most popular method of replacing a lost tooth.

Research on the designs, techniques, and materials to use for dental implants has expanded within the past few years. As income levels grow and more insurance coverage for the procedures is obtained, the popularity of this procedure will continue to increase.

That means industry revenues are projected to continue rising over the next 5-year period, ending in 2023.
