The market for dental implants and prostheses - Spain

Dental implants and prostheses are all medical devices used to replace one or more missing teeth. Dental implants are titanium or ceramic screws inserted into the jawbone to support crowns or dentures. Dentures can be fixed or removable, and are designed to restore chewing function, aesthetics and comfort. This market is part of the wider oral health sector, and is experiencing growing demand, driven by improved quality of life and aesthetic expectations. Globally, the market is expanding rapidly, driven by two major dynamics: the ageing of the population in developed countries, which increases the need for dental replacement solutions, and improved access to care in developing countries. Between 2022 and 2028, this sector is expected to record an average annual growth rate of 7.6%, a sign of a structured market in full technological evolution. In Spain, the market for dental implants and prostheses is growing steadily. Demand is underpinned by an ageing population, growing awareness of oral health issues, and a move upmarket in the care offered by dental clinics.
