With increasing global awareness of oral hygiene, aging populations needing more restorative care, and rising adoption of aesthetic dental services, the market continues to grow. Technological advancements—including digital imaging, CAD/CAM systems, intraoral scanners, and laser treatments—are further transforming dentistry by enabling more precise, efficient, and patient-friendly care.
According to Fortune Business Insights, the global dental market was valued at USD 37.86 billion in 2024.
