Restorative Dentistry Market Overview

The global restorative dentistry market was valued at USD 22.4 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow to USD 34.8 billion by 2030, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7% from 2025 to 2030. This growth is driven by a rising prevalence of dental conditions such as tooth decay, periodontal disease, and tooth loss—largely influenced by aging populations and inadequate oral hygiene.

Technological advancements, including CAD/CAM systems and 3D printing, are significantly improving treatment precision and efficiency. Furthermore, the market benefits from increased public awareness of dental health, a rising demand for cosmetic dental procedures, and the growing popularity of dental tourism in emerging economies.

The COVID-19 pandemic initially had a negative impact on the market. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), over 4,248,389 COVID-19 cases had been reported by May 2020. During lockdowns, dental practices were disrupted as many clinics closed due to infection risks associated with aerosol-generating procedures. Dentists often resorted to remote consultations and prescriptions rather than in-person treatments.

A major contributor to market growth is the global burden of dental caries. According to the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019, dental diseases affect 3.5 billion people worldwide. Specifically, 520 million children suffer from caries in primary teeth, while 2 billion people are affected by caries in permanent teeth. These figures highlight the increasing demand for restorative dental treatments.
