Single Tooth Implants and Dental Bridges Market: Overview

Single tooth implants or dental bridges are the most common dental procedures occurring worldwide since they aid in the replacement of missing teeth or improper teeth structure and assist in restoring teeth function. Tooth loss is an extremely common event and has frequent occurrence amongst all age groups and gender. Losing a tooth affects the natural alignment of other teeth as well and hence it becomes important to replace the missing tooth to maintain the original face shape and avoid any difficulties while speaking or eating.

Single tooth implants are mostly titanium-based artificial tooth roots and are mounted directly on the jawbones. Once the fusion between the implant and the bone occurs, a cap known as the crown is placed over the implant which acts as the missing tooth. Dental bridges are replacements for teeth and they are supported by teeth around the missing tooth. They can cover either a single missing tooth or multiple ones.

Single dental implants can last for more than 15 years with a success rate of 97%, they do not hamper the teeth around the implant, and retain the natural face structure better than dental bridges. However, the process can take more than a few months. Dental bridges do not require surgeries, and the process can be completed within 2-3 dentist visits but with growing age, the patients may lose the natural facial structure.

Covid-19 Impact:

The global tooth implants and dental bridges market was negatively impacted during Covid-19 because of the closure of multiple dental units along with the mass diversion of medical facilities toward Covid-19 treatment. There was a hesitancy amongst the general population to visit dental clinics owing to the contagious nature of the virus. However, given the essentiality of dental care, the global market saw an upward trend once the pandemic was under control and non-Covid-19 related medical institutes opened up.

Single Tooth Implants and Dental Bridges Market: Growth Drivers

Rising demand for dental implants and bridges to aid global market growth

As per estimates, around 68% of adults have lost at least one tooth aged between 35 yrs to 45 yrs. Losing an adult tooth is a common occurrence. In current times, poor eating habits involving less intake of nutritious food, eating junk food, and high intake of sugar through food or drinks have had negative implications on the oral health of many individuals. A large section of the society loses their teeth with growing age, or they may even be suffering from oral diseases like cavities, gum diseases, accidents, or any other physical trauma. The rising number of patients requiring oral medical care, especially tooth replacement, is expected to drive the global single tooth implants and bridges market in the coming years.

There is a surge in demand for tooth replacement owing to the better facial aesthetics provided by implants or delta bridges. An increasing number of facial surgeries where dental procedures are also conducted regularly may aid the global market growth.

Owing to multiple initiatives by private companies to educate mass awareness about proper oral care have generated curiosity amongst a large section to opt for dental implants or bridges at the early onset of dental cavities. Earlier, these incidents were ignored till the time the pain became unbearable but now because of abundant availability of dental procedures along with many insurers covering dental operations, there is a rising comfort in patients to opt for dental surgeries like implants because of their low maintenance and effectiveness thus propelling global market expansion.

Single Tooth Implants and Dental Bridges Market: Restraints

Extreme hassle to maintain oral hygiene post the use of dental bridges to restrain the market growth

Dental bridges complicate the process of maintaining proper oral hygiene because they restrict a large segment of the mouth against access to tooth cleaners as a result creating hesitancy amongst patients to opt for dental bridges and restricting the global market growth. Especially for the older generation who struggle with other medicinal conditions, single tooth implants and dental bridges may create an additional hassle.

Single tooth implants have a high cost associated with them and the duration of these implants may range from anything up to 6 months. The time and money spent on single tooth implants may not be affordable for a large section of society thus restricting the global market growth.

Single Tooth Implants and Dental Bridges Market: Opportunities

Adoption of new technology and zirconium crowns to provide growth opportunities in the global market

The dental segment of healthcare is shifting towards the adoption of advanced technologies which ease the process of dental treatment and can cater to the most complex dental procedures which are anticipated to provide lucrative growth opportunities in the global single tooth implants and dental bridges market. This is also coupled with a rising preference for zirconium crowns which create less tension on the surrounding teeth, propelling dentists to encourage the use of zirconium instead of porcelain crowns.

Single Tooth Implants and Dental Bridges Market: Challenges

Poor reimbursement policies in developing nations to challenge market expansion

Contrary to the healthcare of developed nations, the economies that are currently either developing or developed do not have reimbursement policies in place to take off the high expense of oral treatments. Even though basic oral hygiene is a necessity, the general population in struggling economies may not have the necessary disposable income to spend on single tooth implants or dental bridges thus creating challenging situations for global market expansion.

Single Tooth Implants and Dental Bridges Market: Segmentation

The global single tooth implants and dental bridges market is segmented by product, material, and region.

Based on product, the global market is segmented as dental bridges and single tooth implants. The dental bridge segment is segmented into 3-unit bridges, 4-unit bridges, Maryland bridges, cantilever bridges, and partial bridges. The segment is dominated by single tooth implants because of low oral maintenance and better aesthetics associated with tooth implants as compared to dental bridges. Dental bridges may lead to early deterioration of surrounding teeth thus their adoption.

Based on material, the global market segments are all-ceramic, porcelain-fused-to-metal, and metal alloys. Currently, there is a higher demand for zirconium crowns and it may lead the segment in the coming years.

Recent Developments:

• In December 2021, the acquisition of Carestream Dental's Intra-Oral Scanner by Envista Holdings Corporation assisted in enhancing digital workflow and other range of dental processes like prosthetics, aligners, and dental bridges.
• In October 2021, India-based King George’s Medical University announced that it will soon be able to treat tooth decay amongst patients with the help of stem cell technology with the help of CO2 incubator machine, thus allowing patients to have more options for tooth-related treatments apart from tooth implants of dental bridges.
