Global Restorative Dentistry Market Report and Forecast 2024-2032

Global Restorative Dentistry Market Outlook

The global restorative dentistry market size was valued at USD 19.31 billion in 2023, driven by the increasing prevalence of dental caries and emphasis on facial aesthetics across the globe. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.9% during the forecast period of 2024-2032, with the values likely to rise from USD 20.84 billion in 2024 to USD 38.29 billion by 2032.

Restorative Dentistry: Introduction

Restorative dentistry is a branch of dentistry that involves the dental procedure of repairing or replacing a tooth. It is used to restore the appearance and chewing capacity of teeth. It also incorporates other treatments such as endodontics, prosthodontics, and periodontics.

Dental fillings, crowns, bridges, and implants are some of the most common restorative dentistry practices among others. Different types of materials are involved in restorative dentistry. They include metals, amalgam alloys, polymers, dental base resins and other noble metals.

Global Restorative Dentistry Market Analysis

Oral diseases affect approximately 3.5 billion  people in the world. Out of which, untreated tooth decay in permanent teeth has been the most common condition. Oro-dental trauma (injury to the teeth, oral cavity, or mouth) is estimated to affect around 1 billion  people in the world. Edentualism (total tooth loss) is highly prevalent in people aged 60 years or above. With the rise in such conditions, the restorative dentistry market demand has seen a significant upswing in recent years.

Digital dentistry is the new trend observed in the market these days. The conventional method of using lost-wax casting technology has been replaced by CAD-CAM technology. It is widely applied for inlays, onlays, veneers, crowns, fixed partial dentures, and implants. While it offers fewer complications, improved accuracy, longevity and biocompatibility, the initial cost of the material used in the process is quite high. To combat this, titanium ceramic crowns may be used as an affordable alternative to the noble material crowns.

As the research and development in restorative dentistry continues, we can expect improved, accurate and economical options for the patients leading to the restorative dentistry market growth. Virtual articulator, also known as software articulator, is a computer program that can be used as supplement to mechanical articulators to provide better visualization. T-scan is another diagnostic device that uses disposable and paper-thin sensors to analyze biting forces. It offers a higher degree of accuracy in teeth balancing, enabling better muscular activity. These inventions are a clear indicator that the market will undergo a digital and technology driven revolution in the future.

Global Restorative Dentistry Market Overview

With a high-tech infrastructure that supports research and development in the healthcare sector coupled with a high number of dentists, North America has garnered majority of the restorative dentistry market share in the historical period. This can also be attributed to high prevalence of dental caries in the territory and rising emphasis on facial aesthetics leading to orthodontic cases. However, the Asian Pacific is anticipated to grow at the fastest rate.

The Asia Pacific region is a highly growing and developing area in the healthcare segment. When compared to the west, healthcare is affordable, and people get quality services with a minimal waiting period. As a result, dental tourism has flourished in the region. Countries like India, Malaysia, Thailand, and Taiwan are the most common countries with footfall.

In addition, LYC Healthcare Berhad, a Malaysian investment company acquired Elite Dental Team Sdn Bhd (EDTSB) in May 2024. EDTSB operates 26 dental clinics throughout Malaysia, including hubs like Kuala Lumpur. This indicates that the Asian-pacific restorative dentistry market size can get bigger in the forecast period.
