Implants—Billion-Dollar Industry by 2013?

I just read this morning of a report that should bring some welcome news to every implant doctor in the United States. According to Millennium Research Group's new US Markets for Dental Implants 2009 report, the US dental implant market will recover after 2010 and exceed $1 billion by 2013.

The report asserts that beginning in 2010, “market growth will be stimulated by preference for minimally invasive procedures that offer improved aesthetic results and boast shorter treatment lengths.”

We all hope this happens. But even if the overall picture isn’t quite this rosy, implant practices can succeed in this economy. Remember, the need for implants never goes away. People will still lose teeth, no matter what’s going on in the economy. If they are properly motivated by you, they will still want the best possible option. We know that implants are that option!
