Digital dentistry encompasses the utilization of digital technologies and devices to conduct dental procedures, replacing traditional mechanical or electrical tools. This includes a wide array of advanced techniques and equipment aimed at enhancing efficiency, precision, and patient care within dental practices.
The primary categories of solutions in digital dentistry are instruments and consumables. Instruments in digital dentistry comprise tools and equipment utilized for various dental procedures, such as scanners, milling machines, and 3D printers. These instruments enable dentists to accurately capture digital impressions, design restorations, and fabricate dental prosthetics with exceptional precision. Digital dentistry solutions are applied across specialty areas such as orthodontics, prosthodontics, implantology, and others, facilitating diagnostics, therapeutics, and other dental applications. These solutions are utilized by end-users such as hospitals, dental clinics, and other dental care facilities.

This digital dentistry market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The digital dentistry market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $6.14 billion in 2024 to $6.86 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the proliferation of private dental clinics and chains, increasing dental disorders, demand for aesthetic dentistry, and increasing geriatric population demanding more dental care.
The digital dentistry market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.63 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to greater awareness of oral health and the benefits of digital dentistry, expanding dental tourism, integration of tele-dentistry, enhanced patient experience, and comfort with digital solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include the adoption of artificial intelligence, the growth of teledentistry services, the expansion of 3D printing applications, the integration of augmented reality, advancements in intraoral scanners, the embrace of blockchain technology, and the development of smart dental implants.
The growth of the digital dentistry market is expected to be driven by the increasing prevalence of dental disorders. Dental disorders encompass various conditions affecting teeth, gums, and oral structures, including cavities, gum disease, tooth decay, and oral infections. These disorders result from factors such as poor oral hygiene, unhealthy dietary habits, tobacco use, limited access to dental care, and aging populations. Digital dentistry is revolutionizing the diagnosis and treatment of dental disorders through technologies such as computer-aided design or computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems, digital imaging, and artificial intelligence (AI) diagnostics, improving precision and treatment outcomes. For example, the National Health Service (NHS) reported a significant 120.0% increase in dental treatments delivered in the business year 2021-22, totaling 26.4 million courses compared to the previous year, highlighting the growth in dental care demand.
Key players in the digital dentistry market are concentrating on integrating artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies into diagnostic products, such as AI-guided orthodontic scans, to enhance treatment precision, efficiency, and early detection capabilities. AI-guided orthodontic scans leverage artificial intelligence to conduct precise scans of patients' teeth, aiding in treatment planning and customization. For instance, DentalMonitoring introduced an AI-guided scan for orthodontics called ScanAssist in June 2023. This device utilizes AI-guided instructions and real-time feedback to assist patients in completing their scans, aiming to improve patient engagement and experience. ScanAssist generates a 3D mouth model and tracks patients' scans, providing high-quality images and detailed analysis of treatment progress and oral health. This feature employs software and AI to identify over 130 intraoral observations for braces and aligner treatments.
In September 2023, Straumann Group acquired AlliedStar to enter the Chinese scanner market with a competitive and cost-effective scanner solution. AlliedStar, a China-based provider of dental digital equipment and software, complements Straumann's strategic goals in expanding its digital dentistry offerings.
