The dental practice management software market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.62 billion in 2024 to $1.78 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing demand for efficient practice management, growing prevalence of dental diseases, regulatory compliance requirements, rising awareness about dental care, integration of billing and payment solutions.
The dental practice management software market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.45 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to cloud-based software solutions, tele-dentistry services, interoperability with other healthcare systems, personalized patient engagement tools, demand for data analytics and business intelligence. Major trends in the forecast period include shift towards subscription-based models, emergence of virtual consultation platforms, integration of virtual reality in dental software, rise of predictive analytics for treatment planning, growth of dental software-as-a-service (SaaS) offerings.
The rising prevalence of patients with oral diseases is expected to drive the growth of the dental practice management software market in the coming years. Oral diseases encompass various conditions affecting the mouth, teeth, gums, and associated structures, resulting in discomfort, impairment of oral function, and potential systemic health issues. Limited access to dental services, often due to financial constraints, lack of insurance coverage, or geographic barriers, can exacerbate the effects of poor oral health habits, such as teeth grinding, nail-biting, and using teeth as tools, which in turn increases the likelihood of oral health problems. Dental practice management software enhances patient care by streamlining workflows and improving efficiency, enabling dental practices to better manage the rising number of patients suffering from oral diseases. For instance, in November 2022, the World Health Organization (WHO), a United Nations agency based in Switzerland, reported that nearly half of the global population (3.5 billion people) suffers from oral diseases, with the majority located in low- and middle-income countries. This includes a significant prevalence of untreated dental caries (2.5 billion), severe gum disease (1 billion), and approximately 380,000 new cases of oral cancer each year. Thus, the increasing number of patients with oral diseases is a key factor driving the growth of the dental practice management software market.
Key players in the dental practice management software market are intensifying their focus on developing advanced solutions to gain a competitive edge. Notably, treatment plan software represents a significant advancement in this domain, assisting healthcare professionals in creating and managing comprehensive plans tailored to individual patient needs.

This platform enhances remote monitoring and delivers timely, relevant patient data, offering fully customizable treatment plans integrated with features such as seamless practice management and patient communication. Its automation capabilities streamline planning processes, enhance patient engagement, and reduce administrative burdens, positioning it as a valuable asset in the dental practice management software market.
