Dental implants and prosthetics are used to replace those missing and damaged teeth. Dental prosthetics help patients with enhanced esthetics and chewing function. Dental prosthetics support the jawbone by replacing missing teeth and help in decreasing oral bone loss. Dental implants offer long-lasting solutions to dental problems. Such implants and prosthetics provide natural-looking teeth, which perform exactly like natural human teeth.

Such natural-looking teeth increase confidence and comfort levels in patients. There are several types of dental prosthetics such as dental implants, veneers, dentures, crowns, and others. Dental implants are usually implanted into the jawbone that can replace one or more teeth at a time. Veneers are thin shells that cover chipped or discolored teeth. Dentures are removable appliances to replace a few or all teeth.

Crowns usually cover single damaged teeth. A dentist or a dental professional conducts a thorough examination or an assessment of damaged teeth or oral cavities. A detailed and thorough assessment with the help of x-rays helps dentists choose a type of dental prosthetic to use. Dentists have to take the impression of the existing teeth into a mold that helps in creating prosthetics to fit perfectly in the mouth of a patient.  

COVID-19 Impact on Dental Prosthetics Market

The COVID-19 pandemic affected the global dental prosthetics market negatively. The lockdown and social distancing policies made it difficult for dentists, dental technicians, dental surgeons, and others to treat patients. The demand for dental procedures and services such as dental prosthetics decreased, due to the high risk of COVID-19 infection. People and governments focused more on essential healthcare during the pandemic than dental healthcare.

Low supply of raw materials, lack of labor, halt in the production line, the shutdown of several manufacturing units, and disruption in the supply chain affected the global dental prosthetic market. However, the slack in the pandemic-related restrictions and regulations in the post-pandemic period is expected to boost the global dental prosthetics market in the coming years.
