The Dental Laser Treatment market is anticipated to grow from US$ 445.3 million in 2023 and is projected to reach US$ 864.58 million by 2031; it is expected to register a CAGR of 8.6% during 2023-2031. The increasing cases of dental diseases, growing geriatric population, and increasing product launches and product developments are contributing to the dental laser treatment market growth. However, the high cost of dental laser treatment hampers market growth. Further, advancements in laser dentistry are expected to bring new dental laser treatment market trends in the coming years.
North America accounted for a major share of the global dental laser treatment market in 2023. The North America dental laser treatment market is segmented into the US, Canada, and Mexico. The high prevalence of dental diseases and technological advancements in dental tools and solutions are projected to accelerate the growth of the market in the region.
In addition, the market is driven by expanding awareness among patients regarding the advantages of laser treatments, rising dental tourism, and existence of major market players in the regions. The US is one of the most developed countries in North America. Dental diseases are one of the most preventable public health concerns among chronic health conditions in the US.
According to the World Health Organization's dental statistics published in November 2022, over 1 in 4 (26%) adults have untreated tooth cavities in the US. Additionally, nearly half (46%) of all adults aged 30 years or over show signs of gum disease. Millions of people in the country have some form of periodontal disease. As per the US Gum Disease & Gingivitis Statistics, published in January 2024, ~30% of adults have moderate gum disease, 9% of adults in the country have severe gum disease, and 8.52% have some concerns with their gums. Approximately 5 million people in the US aged 65-74 are edentulous; of these, ~3 million have lost all of their teeth owing to dental caries, as per the American Dental Association (2020).
The high prevalence of dental diseases fuels the demand for dental laser treatments in the country. Lasers can effectively remove decayed tissue from a tooth and prepare the surrounding enamel for fillings. Lasers are particularly effective in treating gum diseases, removing infected gum tissue, and helping reshape the gums, thereby promoting healing while reducing discomfort and recovery time.
Several market players focus on technological advancements in dental tools and solutions that are allowing companies to launch new and innovative products. For instance, in February 2024, Biolase, the world's recognized leader in dental laser technology, introduced its state-of-the-art all-tissue laser system, Waterlase iPlus Premier Edition, which was launched at the 2024 Chicago Dental Society Midwinter Meeting. The new laser system is an extraordinary update to the industry leading Waterlase iPlus and represents the pinnacle of innovation in dentistry.
The use of dental lasers in cosmetic treatments is expected to increase during the forecast period as dental lasers target specific tissues with unparalleled precision and minimal invasiveness and provide aesthetic outcomes. Dental lasers’ quiet operation and patient-friendly nature make them an optimal choice for cosmetic dental enhancements. Dental lasers can also be used for gum contouring to eliminate excessive gum tissue to create a more uniform and visually pleasing gum line.
Laser technology is effective in resolving tongue-tied or lip-tied conditions resulting from a tight frenulum. It can result in an improved range of motion, speech, and smile aesthetics. In addition, the use of digital tools such as CAD/CAM systems and smile design software for defining the required outcome and the use of dental lasers to actualize the envisioned changes are expected to create growth opportunities for the dental laser treatment market.
American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and The South African Dental Association are among the primary and secondary sources referred to while preparing the dental laser treatment market report.
