According to FutureWise analysis, the Digital Dentistry market in 2025 is US$9.59 billion and is expected to reach US$ over 19.66 billion by 2033 at a CAGR of 9.39%. The dental industry is experiencing an exciting evolution, fueled by a wave of digital transformation that’s reshaping patient care as we know it. With the rapid adoption of cutting-edge technologies, such as CAD/CAM systems, intraoral scanners, and 3D printing, the Digital Dentistry market is revolutionizing the delivery of treatments. Imagine receiving faster, more precise care, all while spending less time in the dental chair! As practices around the globe embrace these innovative solutions, we are witnessing a remarkable shift from traditional methods to digital workflows. This transformation is not just improving clinical outcomes; it's paving the way for a new era in oral healthcare delivery that prioritizes patient comfort and efficiency. Welcome to the future of dentistry! This growth is driven by the increasing adoption of CAD/CAM systems, 3D printing technologies, and digital imaging in dental practices. The rising demand for accurate, time-efficient, and patient-friendly procedures is further propelling the shift toward a digital workflow.
The integration of AI and Mainstream Adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) have progressed from concept to reality in the dental field, with 18% of dental professionals in the U.S. already integrating AI into their practices, and 66% considering its adoption. Various AI platforms, such as 3Shape Automate, Dentbird, Pearl, and Diagnocat, have gained popularity for their ability to analyze X-rays, assist with patient diagnostics, and optimize workflows. AI technology is now capable of automatically designing crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, and surgical guides, expanding its role from basic diagnostics to comprehensive treatment planning.
By 2024, the adoption of intraoral scanners (IOS) in the US market is expected to reach 57%. These devices have evolved from basic impression tools into comprehensive hubs for diagnostics and communication. They now play a central role in treatment planning, patient education, and long-term monitoring, significantly enhancing treatment acceptance rates.
Digital dentistry is a broad term that refers to any dental technology that utilizes computer-based components, including hardware devices and software solutions. The goal is to enable dental professionals to provide treatment using computer-aided tools and technologies. New possibilities in dentistry, such as digital scanning, allow dentists to take impressions, perform diagnostics, and plan treatment without the use of mechanical tools. For example, impression scanners and design software significantly speed up the process of creating dental products, reducing the amount of manual work.
Since more than 20 distinct CAD/CAM technologies are now available as restorative dentistry solutions, the new millennium has brought about a transformation in digital dentistry. The development of digital laboratory laser scanning technology and the accompanying software enabled the dental laboratory to build a digital dental environment to accurately present a three-dimensional (3D) virtual model that automatically accounts for the occlusal impact of the opposing and adjacent dentition. Also, this method enables the simultaneous design of 16 full-contour, anatomically sound teeth. It basically takes a complex occlusal scheme, and its parameters condenses the information, displays it in an intuitive way that dental professionals with a working understanding of dental anatomy and occlusion can modify the design, and then sends it on to the automated milling unit. The use of digital technology in the dental laboratory industry can efficiently automate or even eliminate some of the more labour-intensive and mechanical processes (such as waxing, investing, burnout, casting, and pressing) involved in the traditional fabrication of dental restoration, giving the dentist and technician the ability to produce functional dental restorations using a standardized, precise process.
