Moreover, according to WHO studies, periodontal disease, is one of the major cause of tooth loss. It also mentioned that periodontal disease is an 11th most prevalent disease across the globe.
Globally, it is estimated that 2.4 billion people suffer from caries of permanent teeth, and 486 million children suffer from caries of primary teeth. Also, according to the American College of Prosthodontists (ACP), 178 million Americans are missing at least one tooth. Additionally, 40 million people on an average in the United States are missing all of their teeth. The ACP estimates that this number is expected to rise over the next two decades owing to increasing cavity and tooth decay. According to a Brazilian study published in the International Journal of Dentistry, the major reasons responsible for dental implant procedures in Brazil were, cavities (38.4%), periodontal diseases (32.2%), eruption problems (6.4%), orthodontics (5.7%), prosthetics (3.6%), injury/trauma (2.6%), occlusal problems (1.1%), and others (9%).

Millennial and baby boomers are primarily responsible for the growth of cosmetic dentistry. In the field of dentistry, dental implants are used highly in order to obtain better results. Dental implants are usually associated with seniors; however, a growing number of younger people are now opting for dental implantation procedures instead of bridges. Aside from the functionality it provides, dental implants also go well with the trend of natural-looking teeth and can last as long as your regular teeth.
