Restorative Dentistry Market Challenges: Navigating Technological Advancements

The global restorative dentistry market size is expected to reach USD 34.8 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 7.7% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growth of the restorative dentistry market is attributed to the improved quality of services offered and the availability of large patient pool. Moreover, innovation in implants & prosthetics, increasing demand for cosmetic dentistry, and growth of dental tourism is expected to fuel market growth in the forecast period.

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected the dental market in 2020. According to the WHO guidelines, viral infection mainly spreads through the eyes, nose, and mouth which makes it difficult for the dentist to operate on patients during such times. Routine cleaning, orthodontic procedures, preventive therapies, and oral examinations that do not involve pain management were postponed during the COVID-19 pandemic thus negatively impacting the restorative dentistry market.

Technological advancement such as guided tissue regeneration with CAM/CAD software solutions, computer-aided implant dentistry, and digital radiography has improved the accuracy of restorations. The new equipment and composite materials have attracted the patient for treatment and resulted in better health outcomes and higher satisfaction along with timeliness of dental treatment. Thus, advanced technology is anticipated to boost the restorative dentistry market.

This factor may hamper the market growth.
