The global cosmetic dentistry market size was valued at USD 27.00 billion in 2023. The market is projected to grow from USD 29.50 billion in 2024 to USD 76.33 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 12.6% during the forecast period.

Cosmetic dentistry refers to all types of dental procedures which are performed to improve the aesthetics of teeth. Cosmetic dentistry procedures include dental implants, dental prosthetics, teeth whitening, inlay & onlay, and teeth bonding. These treatments are focused to improve the misaligned and crowded teeth, malocclusions, alignment of jaws, and others. The cosmetic market includes equipment such as dental imaging equipment, dental lasers, handpieces, curing light equipment, and consumables used in these mentioned cosmetic dental procedures.

The market for cosmetic dentistry is expected to grow significantly in the coming years, driven by factors such as the increasing prevalence of dental malocclusion and edentulism, coupled with the growing focus on aesthetics amongst the population. This trend is contributing to an increasing number of implants, prosthetics, orthodontics, and teeth whitening procedures. In addition, the advancements such as the introduction of advanced products are driving market growth.

Additionally, new product launches and the rising number of distribution acquisitions and collaborations in the industry are likely to propel market growth.

• For instance, in May 2022, Osstem Implant introduced the Key Solution (KS) implant systems in Europe. Similarly, in March 2022, bredent GmbH & Co.KG launched a new generation of whiteSKY zirconia implants. The implant is designed for various indications, including short-span bridges in the premolar and molar regions and single restorations in the aesthetic zone.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the dental market experienced a decline in revenue in 2020, as many dental offices either shut down or operated with limited services. This resulted in lower need for dental products. Travel restrictions and global lockdowns further contributed to the decline. Nonetheless, in 2021, the cosmetic dentistry market started to bounce back as dental practices resumed operations and there was a rise in the utilization of tele-dentistry and digital tools. The resurgence in demand for cosmetic dental procedures in 2021 contributed to significant growth and this trend of growth is projected to continue in the upcoming years.

Cosmetic Dentistry Market Trends

Higher Adoption of Digital Tools for the Cosmetic Dental Applications

Increasing consumer focus on dental aesthetics is fueling the demand for cosmetic dental procedures. Use of digital tools such as intraoral scanners, CAD/CAM devices, 3D printers, coupled with artificial intelligence is currently trending in the industry. The use of digital tools has revolutionized the industry, allowing for more precise and efficient treatment options. Intraoral scanners, and other digital devices are increasingly being adopted to design custom dental restoration such as crowns, veneers, and bridges with enhanced accuracy.

• For instance, according to a survey published in January 2023 in Cureus, 40.9% of respondents in India used CAD/CAM.

On the other hand, 3D printing and the resins for 3D printers are also gaining popularity in the market. 3D printing enables dentists to provide same-day restorations to patients, reducing the number of appointments needed and improving overall patient satisfaction. Artificial intelligence is another emerging trend in the field of cosmetic dentistry, with AI algorithms being used to analyze patient data and predict the outcomes of various cosmetic treatments. These digital technologies are increasing the adoption of cosmetic dental procedures across the globe, making this a major trend in the global cosmetic dentistry market.

Cosmetic Dentistry Market Growth Factors

Growing Focus on Dental Aesthetics to Boost the Market Growth

In recent years, there has been a notable increase in the number of people seeking orthodontic treatments, dental veneers, dental crowns, inlays and onlays, and bonding agents. This trend can be attributed to an increased awareness of the significance of dental aesthetics, dental care, and oral health, leading more individuals to opt for treatments to correct malocclusions and improve their aesthetics.

Additionally, the number of adults seeking orthodontic and other cosmetic treatments is notably increasing across the globe which is expected to drive cosmetic dentistry market growth.

• For instance, a survey article published in the Dentistry Journal in January 2022 stated that there had been a rise in the number of adults seeking teeth-aligning treatment in recent years. Similarly, in August 2023, the British Orthodontic Society survey reported that there was a 76% rise in adults seeking tooth-aligning treatment after the outbreak.

Such increased demand among adults due to increased awareness about cosmetic dental procedures and rising focus on aesthetics is expected to fuel the global cosmetic dentistry market growth.

Dental Tourism for Cosmetic Procedures to Boost Market Growth

The demand for cosmetic dental procedures such as teeth whitening, veneers, and clear aligners has been steadily increasing in recent years. Factors such as advancements in technologies and increased awareness of dental aesthetics are boosting the demand for these procedures.

Dental tourism, or traveling to another country for dental procedures, has become an increasingly popular trend. This trend is expected to boost the market in countries such as Mexico, Thailand, UAE, and Hungary, which are popular destinations for dental tourism. These countries offer a wide range of cosmetic dental procedures at a fraction of the cost compared to other countries, which increases the number of cosmetic dental procedures, thereby boosting market growth. Additionally, advancements in dental technology are further boosting tourism for cosmetic dentistry, which is expected to grow significantly in the coming years.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

High Cost and Limited Reimbursements to Restrain the Market Growth

Globally, the demand for dental cosmetic procedures is witnessing a significant growth. However, high costs associated with these treatments are expected to impede market growth in the forecast period. The expensive nature of cosmetic dentistry procedures can deter many patients from undergoing such treatments.

• For instance, as per a ValuePenguin report in 2023, the average cost of braces in the U.S. is around USD 6,000 for full mouth, while lingual braces can range from USD 6,500 to USD 11,500. Similarly, according to Arlington Dental Excellence, a single tooth implant can cost between USD 3,100 – USD 5,800, a multi-tooth implant can cost between USD 6,000 – USD 10,000, and full mouth implants can cost around USD 60,000 – USD 90,000. Such high expenses involved in these procedures are hindering their adoption among the general population.

Additionally, cosmetic dental procedures such as orthodontics, prosthetics, and other dental cosmetic procedures are not reimbursed in several countries. Moreover, prolonged orthodontics treatments are linked to various complications, such as increased dental cavities, decalcification, root resorption, and allergic reactions, which can further impede market growth. For instance, an article published in Applied Sciences in March 2023 stated that gingival mucosa and root resorption are common periodontal problems associated with orthodontic treatment. These limitations associated with cosmetic dental procedures are expected to hinder market growth in the coming years.
