The dental implant market - United States

A dental implant is an artificial root made of metal, mainly titanium or zirconia, implanted in the jawbone to replace the root of a natural tooth. Dental implants are divided into premium and non-premium dental implants. On the basis of end users, the market is divided into dental clinics and hospitals, dental laboratories and dental colleges and research establishments. The global market is dominated by Europe and North America; for instance, the EU is the largest supplier and consumer of dental implants followed by North America. In the US, the market is growing, driven by an ageing population, poor eating habits, and a lack of oral hygiene. Moreover, established companies boost sales by expanding their product portfolio to products such as bone graft substitutes. Moreover, the aforementioned also offer complimentary treatment planning software as an additional benefit to bulk implant orders.
