The dental implants market is expected to witness positive growth over the forecast period. The increasing rate of tooth decay and rising number of dental problems globally is driving the demand for dental implants. Furthermore, the rising demand for cosmetic dentistry and improvements in dental technologies is also fueling the dental implants market growth. Better quality of life, higher life expectancy and focus on oral healthcare are some other key factors expected to support the demand for dental implants during the forecast period. However, the high cost of dental implants and lack of reimbursement policies in developing nations may hamper market growth to some extent over the coming years.

Increasing adoption of inorganic growth strategies by key players

Increasing adoption of inorganic growth strategies like acquisition and partnership by key players is expected to drive the global dental implants market growth. For instance, in January 2020, Unident AB (Unident), a portfolio company within the Triton Smaller Mid Cap Fund (TSM), completed the acquisition of Dental Systems Oy, distributor dental equipment and services and GAMA Dental AB, a dental consumable supplier. This acquisition is expected to strengthen Unident’s presence in Finland and Sweden markets. Moreover, both acquired companies were engaged in the development and commercialization of dental equipment, consumables, and supplies.

Increasing incidence of oral health diseases such as cavities and gum disease is a major factor that is expected to drive growth of the global dental implants market. For instance, according to the data published in August 2021 by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), in 2020, overall, 42.2% of adults 30 years or older in the U.S. had total periodontitis, consisting of 7.8% with severe periodontitis and 34.4% with no severe periodontitis.

One of the major challenges faced by the dental implants market is the high costs associated with the treatment procedures. Dental implants involve initial surgical placement of implants followed by several sessions of prosthetic tooth attachment, making the overall treatment expensive. This prohibits a large section of the population from opting for such procedures. Another challenge is the long duration of treatment. It can take several months for the implant to integrate with the jaw bone and for final teeth replacement. This comparatively longer treatment duration leads to lower patient compliance.

Market Opportunities: Rise in disposable income in emerging economies

The market sees strong opportunities in the emerging economies. With rapid economic growth and rising disposable incomes, the population in developing nations now have greater affordability for expensive treatments like dental implants. Additionally, increasing awareness about oral healthcare and availability of dental tourism are boosting the adoption of implants in low-income countries. Technological advancements are also playing an important role in driving growth.

The material type segment includes titanium, zirconia, ceramic, and others. Titanium contributes the highest share of the market and is estimated to hold 32.8% of the market share in 2024. As an implant material, titanium forms a strong bond with bone tissues without triggering negative immune responses. It is highly resistant to corrosion even in a moist oral environment. The corrosion resistance of titanium allows it to maintain mechanical integrity over the long lifespan of a dental implant. Implants made of titanium have demonstrated survival rates above 90% over 10-15 years according to clinical studies. Their biocompatible properties prevent toxic reactions and minimize the risk of implant failure. For both dental professionals and patients, titanium offers a very safe material option. The strength and biostability of titanium implants allow them to reliably prosthetic replacement teeth for decades. This proven performance and biocompatibility have cemented titanium as the material of choice for the majority of dental implant procedures performed worldwide.

Insights, By Type: Convenience drives preference for endosteal implants

The type segment includes endosteal, subperiosteal, and zygomatic. Endosteal is estimated to hold 41.8% of the market share in 2024. Endosteal implants are placed directly into the jawbone, making the procedure less complex than options like subperiosteal implants which are attached on top of the bone. The minimally invasive nature of endosteal implantation means less disruption to surrounding tissues and bone. This translates to shorter treatment times in the clinic and faster recovery for patients. Many dental clinicians also prefer endosteal implants as they provide secure anchorage directly in the jaw, making them particularly suitable for replacing single teeth. The one stage surgical process avoids the need to wait for osteointegration before attaching a prosthetic tooth as required by some other techniques. Patients appreciate the immediate tooth replacement enabled by endosteal implants along with their high success rates achieved through close integration with underlying bone. Their convenience has contributed greatly to endosteal implants becoming a mainstream first choice treatment option.

Insights, By End User: Accessibility amplifies demand from dental clinics

The end user segment includes dental clinics, hospitals, and others. Dental clinics contributes the highest share of the dental implants market and is estimated to hold 41.6% of the market share in 2024. Dental clinics are often the first port of call for patients seeking tooth replacement options like dental implants. As local healthcare providers, clinics can be easily visited without the need for referrals to hospitals. They also usually have more flexible scheduling and shorter wait times than hospital appointments. Treating implant cases provides opportunities for revenue growth at clinics. Many have invested in on-site radiology, 3D imaging and well-equipped surgery facilities to undertake common implant procedures themselves. Given their local presence and lower cost of care comparatively, dental clinics are highly convenient sites for patients. It is common to receive implant treatment as a day patient without any overnight hospital admission. The accessibility and affordability of consultations and treatments at clinics have made them a major driver of implant procedures worldwide. Their widespread numbers continue amplifying the demand seen from this end user segment.

Regional Insights

The North American region has remained the dominant market for dental implants globally and is estimated to hold 36.9% of the market share in 2024. With a high disposable income and advanced healthcare infrastructure across countries like the U.S. and Canada, dental healthcare has received significant prioritization. The availability of skilled professionals and sophisticated medical technology have enabled large scale adoption of dental implantation procedures in the region over the past few decades. Major global players have established their manufacturing and R&D hubs in North America, catering to both domestic as well as international demand.

Stringent regulations regarding quality standards have also ensured safety and reliability of dental implants. This has improved patient confidence towards dental implantology as a viable treatment option. With growing emphasis on dental aesthetic appeals, North America dominates the premium end of the market with patients opting for high-end features and materials like titanium implants. The large pool of elderly population requiring dental interventions and rising cases of tooth decay and periodontal diseases have further augmented market growth.

The Asia Pacific region has emerged as the fastest growing market for dental implants. Countries like China, India and Japan have become highly lucrative markets owing to their rapidly developing healthcare infrastructure and increasing medical tourism. Growing expendable incomes have prompted greater spend on advanced dental treatments. At the same time, lower production costs have made dental implants more affordable for the masses compared to developed markets. This has boosted adoption rates across middle and lower-income demographic segments.
