THE NUMBERS FOR DENTAL
IMPLANTS ARE SIMPLY
STAGGERING
There are 31 MILLION
Americans between the
age of 35 and 45, who
are missing at least one
natural tooth.
There are 45 MILLION
Americans over the age
of 65, of whom fully 30%
have no natural teeth.
If a minimal number
of two mandibular
anterior implants were
placed for each of these
completely edentulous
elderly Americans, the
revenue to dentists
would be over 90 BILLION
dollars, or almost 1
MILLION dollars for
every dentist in the
nation.
If the "baby boomers"
who are missing teeth
each had one dental
implant, it would mean
another MILLION dollars
for every dentist in
America.
Fewer than 5% of
general dentists have
ever placed a dental
implant.
"First, plan to
put the teeth where they
need to be to support
normal occlusion,
function, and esthetics.
Then, plan to put
the implants where they
need to be to support
the teeth.
Lastly, plan to
put bone where it needs
to be to support the
implants."
