Summary

The Scandinavian market for dental implants and final abutments includes the markets for Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and Norway. In 2008, the Swedish dental implant market was by far the largest of any Scandinavian country, as well as the headquarters of several major international suppliers. While implant prices are high across Scandinavia, the high GDP per capita of Norway allows for especially high prices.
