Report Overview

The cosmetic dentistry market was estimated to be USD 15.8 billion in 2015. This growth is fueled by growing significance of dental esthetics and cognizance of such procedures coupled with growing middle class and increasing disposable income in developing countries. Dental tourism on a whole has rapidly grown, allowing new markets to emerge and, in the process, built a strong base for cosmetic dentistry. The use of CAD/CAM to improve the designing and creation of dental restoration and dental prosthetics has allowed this industry to flourish further.

Development of minimally invasive cosmetic dental procedures has allowed a lot of patients to undergo treatments that they did not prefer earlier. Technological advances have also enabled the utilization of novel techniques, and they are being used extensively. Improved emphasis on new products being launched by the key players is another factor that has allowed the industry to prosper further.

Cosmetic dentistry market, by region, 2013 - 2024 (USD Billion)

An increasing need for more esthetic appeal in the field of dentistry is being observed globally. This has triggered the development of a wide range of techniques and procedures that cater to specific needs of the patients. Escalating demand for dental implants and orthodontic appliances in the developing markets has caused a growth spurt in dental tourism.

The major restraints that are hindering the growth of the cosmetic dentistrymarket are lack of reimbursement options and high cost of dental imaging. Cosmetic procedures are used to improve esthetics, hence, do not qualify as vital procedures. Thus, insurance companies and government agencies do not provide favorable reimbursement options to individuals opting for these procedures. Dental imaging requires expensive instruments and equipment, which limits access to all due to financial constrains.
