Dental Crowns & Bridges Market Forecasts to 2030 - Global Analysis By Product (Dental Crowns and Dental Bridges), Restoration Type (Anterior Restoration and Posterior Restoration), Material, Age Group, Technology, End User and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Dental Crowns & Bridges Market is accounted for $4.25 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $6.35 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 8.2% during the forecast period. Dental crowns and bridges are restorative dental treatments used to repair and replace damaged or missing teeth. A dental crown is a cap placed over a damaged tooth to restore its shape, size, and strength, improving its function and appearance. A dental bridge, on the other hand, consists of one or more artificial teeth anchored by crowns on adjacent natural teeth or implants. Bridges fill the gap left by missing teeth, helping to restore proper chewing function, maintain the alignment of remaining teeth, and improve overall dental aesthetics.

According to the study published by Frontiers in Public Health in April 2021, the highest prevalence of dental caries in East Africa was found in Eritrea, which was 65.2%, followed by Sudan, which was 57.8%.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Expanding dental insurance plans

Expanding dental insurance plans significantly raises patient accessibility to restorative dental treatments. As more insurance providers include coverage for crowns and bridges, patients are more likely to seek these procedures, knowing that a portion of the costs will be covered. This financial support reduces the economic burden on patients, encouraging them to prioritize their dental health. Additionally, comprehensive insurance plans often educate patients about the importance of restorative care, leading to higher demand for treatments that enhance both functionality and aesthetics, ultimately driving market growth.

Restraint:

Material sensitivities

Material sensitivities in dental crowns and bridges, such as allergic reactions or intolerances to metals like nickel, or sensitivity to certain ceramics, causes discomfort or complications for patients. These sensitivities may lead to adverse reactions or the need for additional treatments, affecting patient satisfaction and potentially deterring individuals from undergoing these procedures. As a result, dental professionals must carefully select materials and manage sensitivities, which can increase treatment costs and complexity, thereby impacting overall market growth.

Opportunity:

Increased awareness about oral health and cosmetic dentistry

As more individuals become aware of the benefits of restorative treatments, such as improved functionality and appearance, demand for dental crowns and bridges rises. Public campaigns and dental health programs highlight the role of these treatments in preserving oral health and correcting dental issues, leading to greater patient engagement and willingness to invest in high-quality dental care. Additionally, cosmetic dentistry's growing popularity for enhancing smiles motivates individuals to seek crowns and bridges as part of their overall dental treatment plans, further propelling market expansion.

Threat:

Procedure complications

Procedure complications in dental crowns and bridges include issues such as improper fit, discomfort, sensitivity, and potential damage to adjacent teeth or gums. These complications lead to the need for additional treatments or adjustments, causing patient dissatisfaction and increased treatment costs. The potential for complications can deter patients from opting for these procedures and influence their perception of the reliability of restorative treatments. This can hamper market growth by reducing patient willingness to undergo crowns and bridges.

Covid-19 Impact

The covid-19 pandemic significantly impacted the dental crowns and bridges market by leading to a decrease in elective dental procedures due to lockdowns, social distancing, and reduced patient visits. Many dental practices experienced temporary closures or restricted operations, resulting in postponed treatments. However, as restrictions eased and dental care resumed, there was a surge in demand for restorative treatments, as patients sought to address deferred dental issues and restore their oral health.

The adult segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The adult segment is estimated to be the largest during the forecast period. In adults, dental crowns and bridges are commonly used to address issues such as damaged, decayed, or missing teeth. Crowns restore the function and appearance of damaged teeth by providing a protective cover, while bridges replace missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth or implants. These treatments are essential for maintaining oral health, improving chewing function, and enhancing aesthetic appeal, thus contributing to overall dental well-being and confidence in adult patients.

The digital impressions segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The digital impressions segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR growth during the forecast period. Digital impressions technology in dental crowns and bridges streamlines the process by using digital scanners to capture precise, high-resolution images of the teeth and oral structures. This technology eliminates the need for traditional, messy impression materials and reduces the likelihood of errors. The digital data is used to design and manufacture custom crowns and bridges with high accuracy and fit. Benefits include faster turnaround times, improved patient comfort, and enhanced overall treatment outcomes.

Region with largest share:

The dental crowns and bridges market in the Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to register the largest market share due to increasing awareness of oral health, rising disposable incomes, and advancements in dental technology. The expanding aging population and improving healthcare infrastructure contribute to the demand for restorative dental treatments. Additionally, growing dental tourism in countries like India and Thailand attracts patients seeking affordable and high-quality care. Government initiatives to enhance dental care access and education further boost the market, driving expansion across the region.

Region with highest CAGR:

The dental crowns and bridges market in North America is thriving to have highest CAGR during the projected timeframe, fuelled by a high prevalence of dental issues and a strong emphasis on cosmetic dentistry. Increased disposable incomes and comprehensive dental insurance coverage enable more patients to seek restorative procedures. Additionally, a growing number of dental clinics and professionals specializing in restorative dentistry contribute to market growth. Public awareness campaigns further emphasize the importance of oral health, driving demand for crowns and bridges in the region.
