• Growing oral health awareness bolsters the dental service organization market growth.

Increasing awareness of oral health plays a vital role in the growth of the dental service organization market. As people become more conscious of the importance of oral health due to increasing oral cancer among the people, they seek out more dental services. For instance, according to the American Cancer Society's estimated figure, in 2023, the number of oropharyngeal cancer & oral cavity is expected to reach 54,540 while deaths from oropharyngeal cancer are expected to reach 11,580. DSOs have diversified their service offerings beyond essential dental treatments to include comprehensive treatments such as implants, orthodontics, cosmetic dentistry, oral cancer, and treatment for sleep apnea.

This technological integration enables more efficient operations, better patient care, and increased efficiency in dental offices. DSOs have grown substantially in the last decade, becoming a significant segment of the dental industry. For instance, Risio, a recently launched dental start-up, seeks to reshape oral hygiene care by offering preventive dental services to all patients from the comfort of their own homes. Risio takes care of dental needs, from teeth whitening to elderly dental care, at a reasonable price and with flexible financing plans.
