Growing demand for dental restoration solutions and aesthetic treatments is accelerating the growth of the global dental implants market.

With increasing disposable income, the willingness to undergo expensive cosmetic procedures in various countries, particularly among the aging, is primarily attributed to market growth. Besides, developing countries are witnessing robust expansion in dental clinics, offering cosmetic dentistry with advanced technology, and medical tourism growth. In addition, changes in people's lifestyles and a growing focus on dental aesthetics create a greater demand for cosmetic procedures in developing and developed countries.

Additionally, rising awareness regarding dental disorders, especially in emerging countries, will impel dental implants and prosthetics adoption rates in the coming years.

Dental implant surgery duration is of shorter time. The recovery rate and time are also faster comparatively. All these advancements in dental implantology contribute to future market growth. Other growth factors include an increase in the geriatric population worldwide, Advancements in implant technology in developed countries, a rise in demand for cosmetic dentistry, including smile corrections, and etc. rise in the occurrence of dental disorders across the globe. Techniques such as DIAGNOdent, X-rays, non-mercury fillings, and intraoral cameras drive market growth. Diagnodent is a reliable, non-invasive laser that looks inside a tooth surface for bacterial contaminants and indirectly measures its degree. Prosthodontics uses CAD/CAM technology to improve the design and creation of dental restorations. 

MARKET RESTRAINTS:

However, the dental implant market faced pitfalls. Limited reimbursement policies for dental treatment plans and most insurance providers are not covering dental treatments as a part of their Mediclaim policy, which are majorly projected to hinder the market growth. Dental treatment is usually excluded from the policy cover. Dental implants are considered a more reliable choice than veneers or crowns. However, the expense of treatment with dental implants is considerably high due to the high-priced implants and surgery. Most insurance providers in developed and developing companies classify dental implants as cosmetic surgery, therefore providing minimal or no dental implants. The high pervasiveness of peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis caused due to dental implants is further expected to restrain the market's growth.

Asia is price-sensitive and displays inhibitions to investing in dental implants, often only affordable to the elite population, offering a comparatively smaller market.

COVID-19 impact on the global dental implants market:

The COVID-19 pandemic has also hit the global dental implants market, mostly because of lockdowns all around. In addition, as a standard measure, social distancing has become the new norm. Therefore, people are now refraining from visiting a doctor, owing to which treatment procedures lack the thrust, thus adversely impacting the dental implants market.

COVID-19 has a devastating impact on every other industry, like the dental market. The dental industry is facing its dark hours with the widespread Coronavirus. Dental surgeons, including paramedics, nurses, and other healthcare workers, are at the highest risk of contracting and transmitting the Coronavirus. As a result, dental clinics around the world have been shut down. In addition, it significantly impacted the dental implant market and dental practitioners and staff at clinics, making zero earnings.
