U.S. Dental Implants Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Material (Titanium, Zirconium, and Others), By Design (Tapered Implants and Parallel Walled Implants), By Type (Endosteal Implants, Subperiosteal Implants, and Transosteal Implants), By End User (Solo Practices, DSO/Group Practices, and Others), and Forecast, 2024-2032

The U.S. dental implants market size was worth USD 1.23 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period. 

The U.S. has witnessed a significant rise in the prevalence of dental malocclusion and tooth loss, which has increased the number of adults seeking implant treatment. For instance, according to a research article published by MedicineNet, Inc., in August 2021, approximately half of the adult population in the U.S. was suffering from gum disease in 2020. Furthermore, the increasing importance of aesthetic restoration of tooth implants and disposable incomes are expected to increase the U.S. dental implants market share.

The growth in the adoption of implants among adults is driven by the growth in awareness campaigns initiated to understand and strategize options for better accessibility of dental implants. The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has impeded the demand for implants due to a decline in elective surgical procedures in dental clinics and hospitals.

LATEST TRENDS

Growing Demand for Antibacterial Coated Dental Implants

In recent years, the market has witnessed an increasing demand for dental implants, such as antibacterial-coated implants, due to the major factors associated with them. There are various coating materials for implants that have been studied, including bioactive glasses, hydroxyapatite silica, carbon, bisphosphonates, and calcium.

These antibacterial coatings improve implant durability and protect against harmful oral bacteria responsible for tooth decay and severe dental problems. Such benefits have stimulated many researchers to focus on synthesizing antibiotics loaded with silica particles with antibacterial properties for coating implants.

DRIVING FACTORS

Growing Adoption of Digital Implant Dentistry to Stimulate Market Growth

The growing prevalence of dental disorders has stimulated market players to increase their focus on technological advancements, such as digital implant dentistry. Digital dentistry is any device that incorporates computer-controlled or digital components in contrast to electrical or mechanical components alone.

• For instance, in December 2021, Dentsply Sirona and 3 Shape extended their strategic partnership to secure the integration of Dentsply Sirona's Connect Case Center with 3 Shape's Dental System Software.

Risks Associated with Implant Procedures Might Hinder Market Growth

Despite the increased adoption of implants in the country, the risks associated with their procedures might hamper their demand in the U.S. market. There are specific safety issues and risks associated with dental implant procedures, as they may cause infection at the implant site, damage or injury to other teeth or blood vessels, and nerve damage.

Such side effects related to implants are restricting the population from adopting these products as a treatment option, thereby limiting the U.S. dental implants market growth.

SEGMENTATION

By Material Analysis

Based on material, the market is segmented into titanium, zirconium, and others.

The titanium segment held a larger share in 2022 due to the increasing number of implant procedures coupled with the growing adoption of titanium implants in the country.

• For instance, according to an article published by the American Academy of Implant Dentistry in July 2022, more than 2.5 million implants occur every year in the U.S. This high number of implant procedures is expected to increase the adoption of titanium implants, thereby propelling the growth of the segment.

In the 2022, zirconium segment was projected to grow at a moderate CAGR, owing to the growing demand for zirconium implants among dental practices.

By Design Analysis

Based on design, the market is segmented into tapered implants and parallel walled implants.

The tapered implants segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period, 2023-2030. The highest CAGR is due to the increasing initiatives by companies to enhance implant dentistry through training and education.

• For instance, in March 2021, BIOLASE, Inc. launched the Waterlase Perio Academy (WPA) to help clinicians provide implant and periodontal services with improved patient outcomes through the continued adoption of laser technology.

By Type Analysis

Based on type, the market is segmented into endosteal implants, subperiosteal implants, and transosteal implants.

In 2022, the endosteal implants segment held a larger share of the market. The segmental growth is attributed to the growing focus of market players to invest in the R&D with an aim to manufacture innovative implants.

• For instance, in November 2020, NYU College of Dentistry (NYU Dentistry) received funding and support from Straumann Group North America to make dental implants more accessible for patients and to enhance student education at NYU Dentistry.

By End User Analysis

Based on end user, the market is segmented into solo practices, DSO/group practices, and others.

The solo practice clinics held a larger share in 2022 owing to the rising patient pool for orthodontic procedures and improved diagnosis of dental malocclusion and misalignment, especially in teenagers, which has propelled the patient volume for orthodontic procedures. Furthermore, the presence of a larger number of solo practices in the country is expected to drive segmental growth in the long run.

• For instance, according to the American Dental Association, in 2021, around 73.0% of professionally active dentists in the U.S. were practicing in privately owned dental clinics.
