However, poor dental insurance coverage for dental implants and low reimbursement might hinder the growth of this market to a certain extent. The overall adoption of dental implants have been more as compared to dental prosthetics due to better aesthetics and hygiene associated with the use of dental implants. Some of the prominent players in this market include Straumann (Switzerland), DENTSPLY International (U.S.), Zimmer Holdings (U.S.), Biomet 3i (U.S.), 3M ESPE (U.S.), Danaher Corporation (U.S.), Avinent Implant System (Spain), and OSSTEM IMPLANT Co.

Scope of the Report

Dental implants and prosthetics are used as restorative methods for replacement of missing tooth. Although both dental implants and dental prosthetics act as permanent solutions for dental restoration, dental prosthetics could replace dental implants in developing countries, if price is considered as a major factor. Willingness to spend on dental implants and prosthetics, and rising awareness among the patients are expected to help the growth of the dental implants and prosthetics market.

The Australia dental implants and prosthetics market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.8% from USD 35.89 million in 2015 to USD 52.19 million in 2020 during the forecast period of 2015-2020. Rising incidences of dental caries and other periodontal diseases among the aging baby booming population as well as growing aging population which is more prone to tooth loss are the main factors driving the growth of this market. Rising disposable incomes, increasing willingness to spend out of pockets for dental implants, increasing awareness, and the requirement of quality dental care among the people is further expected to help the growth of this market. This market is also characterized by increased adoption of all ceramic materials, for instance zirconia. Zirconia crowns and bridges are found to be more similar to natural tooth and hence are more aesthetically appealing as compared to other materials. This has resulted in its more widespread acceptance. However, limited reimbursements and high cost of dental implants may restrict the growth of this market to a certain extent.

The report analyzes the dental implants market by material and by procedure. Based on the material used, dental implants are segmented into two categories, namely, titanium implants and zirconium implants. The dental prosthetics market is segmented into crowns and bridges, abutments, and dentures. Increasing focus on quality dental care and willingness to spend on dental implants has helped the Australian dental implants & prosthetics market to grow. As compared to majority of the developed and a few developing economies, the penetration of dental implants is very low in Australia. This is mainly due to the high price of dental implants and the unfavorable reimbursement scenario for dental surgeries in the country. In 2014, the penetration of dental implants in Australia was 4.6 implant cases per 1,000 inhabitants. The penetration of dental implants in the country is on the rise for past few years; and this trend is expected to continue in coming years as well. Growing awareness of dental care in the country, surge in number of trained dental professionals, increasing aging population, and enhanced government support for dental care are expected to drive the dental restoration procedures performed in Australia in coming years. This, coupled with an increase in per capita income and thereby increase in affordability of dental implants, is expected to increase the uptake of dental implants in Australia in coming years.
