Dental Prosthetics Market Drivers

Rising Prevalence of Dental Diseases

Tooth decay, gum diseases, and other dental issues are increasing in the patients. There are growing number of cases for edentulism, which leads to increasing demand for dental prosthetics. According to American College of Prosthodontists, more than 36 million Americans are fully edentulous and over 120 million are partially edentulous. This results in increasing the adoption of dentures in patients. Moreover, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), 3.5 billion people are affected with oral diseases worldwide. Most of the cases are of dental caries, periodontal diseases, tooth loss, and oral cancers. Rising initiatives for oral health care are contributing to the growth of dental prosthetics usage across the patient population. For instance, according to the report published by USA government, in May 2024, the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention Centre (CDC) strengthens the workforce with dental public health specialty residency training program. Furthermore, rising awareness about dental issues and their consequences among individuals results in increased adoption of dental prosthetics for preventive care. According to the American academy of implant dentistry, 35 million American’s has missed all the teeth of at least single jaw. This results in an increasing number of dental implants in patients. Hence, rising dental issues among individuals are expected to drive the growth of the dental prosthetics market.

Rising Demand for Cosmetic Dentistry

The rising focus on enhancing aesthetic dental beauty is fueling the growth of cosmetic dentistry. Changing preferences in the population for dental beautification shows a rising shift towards customized dental solutions. This results in increasing demand for cosmetic dental procedures which increases the adoption of dental prosthetics such as crowns, bridges, and veneers.  Moreover, there is increased spendings on cosmetic dentistry by individuals which also results in the growth of the market. For instance, in July 2023 report published by Dentistry (U.K.), one third of young population of age under 35 had cosmetic dental procedure in year 2022. The average spending made by the age group of under 35 is USD 4,734.1 (£3,677) and 25-34 is USD 32,187.6 (£25,000) or more. Thus, the growth in cosmetic dentistry is expected to drive the growth of dental prosthetics market.

Dental Prosthetics Market Opportunities

Advancements in CAD/CAM Technologies

Computer aided design/computer aided manufacturing technologies are used to create crowns, dentures, implants, and other dental prosthetics. These technologies help in improving the accuracy of prosthetics related to fitting & structures and create aesthetic appearance. It reduces the treatment time and minimizes discomfort while using those prosthetics. Moreover, advancements in these technologies enhance the quality of treatment and the products. Advanced data analysis, intraoral scanners, virtual models, and removal of manual quality control are some of the major advancements in the CAD/CAM technologies in recent times. Advanced intraoral scanners are more focused on enhancing operator control and patient comfort. Integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in virtual imaging results in automating the prosthetics design process. With the help of historical data, it recommends models on the basis of data analyzed by the generative AI. This enhances the accuracy and precision in the prosthetics virtual structures. These advancements in the CAD/CAM technologies are expected to create growth opportunities for the stakeholders in the dental prosthetic market.

Dental Prosthetics Market Analysis: Top Market Opportunity

The Dental Implants Segment is Expected to Dominate the Dental Prosthetics Market in 2024

Based on type, the global dental prosthetics market is segmented into dental implants, crowns, bridges, dentures, veneers, abutments, and inlays & onlays. In 2024, the dental implants segment is estimated to account for the largest share of the global dental prosthetics market. The large share of this segment is mainly attributed to the rising tooth issues and the increasing number of accidents.

Dental implant is a surgical procedure of replacing teeth from the root with the help of metal screw. Dental implants are placed into the jawbone, and it provides support to the dental crowns, bridges, and artificial teeth. Tooth issues such as chewing issues, defective speech problems, and gum related problems generate demand for dental implants. Dental implants help in improving patients’ appearance and health as well. It also helps in decreasing tooth sensitivity and enhancing the individual’s facial appearance.

According to WHO, in the U.S., for example, over 10% of adults aged 65 to 74 and nearly 20% of adults over 75 experience edentulism, often because of untreated dental issues like periodontal disease and cavities. Globally, the WHO has noted similar trends, especially in low- to middle-income countries where dental care access remains limited​. This increase in edentulism has led to a growing demand for dental implants as a preferred solution over traditional dentures. Dental implants offer a more permanent, natural-feeling alternative that provides better support for chewing and speaking. As a result, the dental implant market is expanding, driven by both aging populations and increased awareness of implant technology's advantages

Geographical Analysis

North America Dominates the Dental Prosthetics Market in 2024

In 2024, North America is estimated to account for the largest share of the global dental prosthetics market. The large share of North America in the dental prosthetics market is primarily attributed to the presence of leading dental prosthetics providers in the region, increasing number of patients with dental issues, and rising dental hospitals and dentists. According to the Statistics Canada (Canada) article, published in October 2024, says that dental offices are expected to grow in 2022 and 2023 by 1.4% and 4.6% respectively. This shows an increasing number of dentists in the region. The high prevalence of dental issues such as tooth decay, tooth loss, and periodontal diseases generates a demand for dental prosthetics in the region. Moreover, high disposable income and availability of dental insurance coverage also impact the growth of the market in the region. For instance, in March 2022 Canada government launched Canadian Dentalcare Program under which government will pay low to middle-income households’ dental expenses through the public funding. These factors impact on the growth of dental prosthetics market in the region.

However, the demand for dental prosthetics in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region has been growing significantly and is projected to expand further, driven by factors like rising oral health awareness, an aging population, and lifestyle-related dental issues such as cavities and tooth loss. The APAC dental prosthetics market is anticipated to see robust growth, with countries such as China, India, and Japan emerging as major markets. This growth is spurred by increasing accessibility to dental care, a larger middle class with disposable income, and the rising popularity of dental tourism, especially in regions with cost-effective treatment options.

The market growth is also bolstered by the prevalence of periodontal diseases, which increase the need for dentures, crowns, bridges, and implants. Technological advancements, including digital dental imaging and CAD/CAM systems, are enhancing the quality and accessibility of dental prosthetics, making them more appealing to patients seeking both aesthetic and functional solutions for tooth replacement.
