COVID-19 Impact - Dental Implants Market

The global economy was severely affected in 2020 due to the exponential growth of COVID-19 cases. Since the beginning of the pandemic, millions of patients worldwide faced health issues due to delayed care as hospitals canceled nonurgent operations, including dental implants. A large number of operations were canceled or postponed owing to disruption caused by COVID-19. The Association of Dental Implantology estimated over 130,000 individual implantation procedures to be performed in the UK in a year. According to NHS estimates, from 2016 to 2018, more than 22 million patients were diagnosed or treated by a dentist in the UK. However, according to British Dental Association, in July 2020, out of 2,053 dentists, only 36% were ready to resume dental practices in the UK. Additionally, 64% of surgical procedures were postponed, and more than half have had follow-up appointments rescheduled. Thus, the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the dental implants market. However, with the mitigation of ill effects with time, the oral health treatment service providers are performing normally in the UK.
