Market Insights:
A dental implant is used to replace or restore a tooth or group of teeth to replace missing or decayed ones. A dental implant is commonly used for dental prostheses such as bridges, crowns, and dentures, making use of a biological process called osseointegration that binds or fuses the bone with materials such as titanium or zirconium. The continuous growth of the geriatric population fuels the growth of the dental implant market. With age, dental health tends to deteriorate, causing edentulism, for which restoration is required as a treatment. Increasing awareness about dental and oral care and growing demand for aesthetics (orthodontics, bleaching, smile) are driving the market. With further progress in technology, no extensive surgery is required, noninvasive procedures are available, the duration of treatment has decreased, and the procedures have become more cost-effective, which further fuels the market growth.

Based on the type of material, the global dental implant market is segmented as follows:
- Titanium Implants
- Zirconium Implants
Among the types of material, titanium dominates the dental implant market. It is a commonly used material for implants due to its high biocompatibility and ability to bind with bone. It has better biocompatibility, strength, tensile strength, fracture resistance, and durability than traditional implants, is preferred for a long life span, and is cost-effective. There is high adoption among dentists of titanium implants due to improvements in osseointegration. Zirconium is anticipated to show fast growth in the forecast period due to its growing preference over titanium for its aesthetic sense and its non-corrosive nature.
Based on the type of product, the global dental implant market is segmented as follows:
- Endosteal Implants
- Subperiosteal Implants
- Transosteal Implants
- Intramucosal Implants
Among the types of implants, endosteal implants and subperiosteal implants are commonly used, thus occupying a large share of the dental implant market. Endosteal implants are a two-stage implant procedure that is a commonly used alternative to a bridge or removable denture and are surgically placed into the jaw bone. There are several types, including cylindrical, smooth, screwed, threaded, and bald. Subperiosteal is commonly used for single-stage dental implant procedures and is placed under the gum but either on or above the jawbone. It is used by patients with a shallow jawbone or insufficient bone height. Transosseous implants are used for patients with rare bone structures. It requires hospitalization, general anesthesia, and surgery, so it is rarely used. Due to dental grafts, endosseous or subperiosteal implants are widely used as they do not require extensive surgery.
For the purpose of this study, the global dental implant market is geographically categorized into:
- North America (U.S. and Canada)
- Europe (U.K., Germany, and the Rest of Europe)
- Asia Pacific (China, Japan, and the Rest of APAC)
- Latin America (Brazil, Mexico, and the Rest of Latin America)
- Middle East and Africa (United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, the rest of the Middle East, and Africa)
At present, Europe dominates the global dental implant market. Factors driving the growth of the dental implant market in Europe are the increasing age of the population, dental tourism, a change in attitude towards oral health, an increase in aesthetics in dental care, advancements in technology, and less invasive procedures. Periodontitis affects nearly half of the EU population, and the prevalence rises further in the elderly (up to 70-85%). North America also occupies a significant share with its well-established healthcare infrastructure, favorable reimbursement policies, and affordable implants. Asia Pacific is anticipated to be the next fast-growing dental implant market in the forecast period. For emerging economies such as China and India in Asia Pacific, the key growth factors are the rise in the geriatric population, increasing dental care awareness, high disposable income, medical tourism, and changing lifestyles that are driving the dental implant market.
