Custom crowns and bridges lead the market, while prefabricated options are increasing in emerging areas
Global market for dental crowns and bridges
Dublin, Jan. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — U.S “Dental Crowns and Bridges Market by Type, Material, End User and Region” reference has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com offering. This comprehensive research report focuses on the global and regional market size and forecast from 2024 to 2035.
The global dental crowns and bridges market is estimated to be USD 3.36 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 8.02 billion by 2035, with a CAGR of 8.23% from 2025-2035. The market will grow due to several factors including increasing prevalence of dental problems such as tooth decay, periodontal diseases and dental trauma, increasing awareness about oral health. technological developments in the materials used; and increasing demand in emerging markets.
Computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology has revolutionized the dental industry, enabling the accurate and efficient production of dental restorations. For example, Directa’s Ceramir CAD/CAM Blocks in March 2024 further reinforced this trend. These blocks offer flexibility for a wide range of prosthetic applications, including crowns and bridges, simplifying workflow and improving the overall quality of dental treatments.
By type, the custom crowns and bridges segment accounted for the highest revenue segment in the global dental crowns and bridges market in 2024 due to the growing demand for customized dental solutions and advancements in CAD/CAM technologies that enable precise and aesthetically pleasing restorations. For example, Formlabs Dental received FDA 510(k) Medical Device Clearance for its Premium Teeth Resin in August 2024. With this approval, dentists in the United States have been able to use 3D printing technology to create a variety of temporary dental restorations, such as e.g. veneers, inlays, inlays, single unit crowns and bridges up to seven units in length. Following identical EU certifications for these applications, this customizable hardware solution simplifies the manufacturing process and broadens the range of applications for users in the United States. Furthermore, the prefabricated crown and bridge segment is projected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to cost efficiency, shorter processing time, and increasing adoption in emerging markets with limited access to customized solutions.
By material, the ceramic segment accounted for the highest revenue segment in the global dental crown and bridge market in 2024 owing to superior aesthetics, biocompatibility, and increasing preference for metal-free restorations among patients and clinicians. For example, Directa introduced Ceramic CAD/CAM BLOCKS, a new product line, in March 2024. These blocks can be used for crowns, bridges and other prosthetic applications. Furthermore, the zirconia implant segment is projected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period due to its excellent strength, wear resistance, and natural appearance, which align with patient demand for long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing dental solutions.
By end-user, the individual practice segment accounted for the highest revenue segment in the global dental crown and bridge market in 2024 due to the dominance of independent dentists performing routine crown and bridge procedures supported by high patient trust and accessibility. For example, Corpus Partners expanded its footprint in Atlantic Canada in July 2023 by purchasing Hallmark Dental Laboratory through Canadian Dental Laboratories Limited Partnership. Additionally, the DSO/group practice segment is projected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period due to consolidation trends in the dental industry, improved operational efficiency, and better access to advanced dental technologies in organized practice environments.
North America is expected to hold the highest revenue share during the forecast period due to high prevalence of dental disorders, advanced healthcare infrastructure, significant patient awareness, and widespread adoption of innovative dental technologies. Furthermore, Asia Pacific is projected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period due to rapidly developing healthcare infrastructure, increasing disposable income, increasing dental tourism, and increasing awareness of oral health and aesthetics in emerging economies. For example, Stratasys reported in February 2023 that it had received FDA approval for the first time for TrueDent resin, which is used to 3D print temporary crowns and bridges in a variety of colors. It makes it possible to produce colorful, highly esthetic monolithic dental products in batches in a single mixed part.
