The U.S. veterinary dental health market size was estimated at USD 2.92 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.20% from 2025 to 2030. The market is expanding due to rising awareness of hidden oral diseases in pets, increased emphasis on pain and stress management during dental procedures, improved client education and communication, growing adoption of evidence-based guidelines like the AAHA Dental Care Guidelines, and expanded availability of dental diagnostic tools and equipment. These factors are encouraging routine dental check-ups and treatments, leading to higher service uptake across general and specialty veterinary practices.
Oral disease remains the most commonly diagnosed health issue in adult dogs and cats in the United States, yet pet owners often overlook it. While routine dental care is widely recognized as vital to human health, many companion animals receive little to no dental attention. It is estimated that over 80% of dogs and 70% of cats develop some form of dental disease by the age of three, highlighting a critical gap in preventive care.
Common conditions include dental caries, tooth fractures, oral tumors, and feline-specific issues like tooth resorptive lesions and gingivostomatitis. However, periodontal disease is by far the most prevalent. If left untreated, this chronic and progressive condition can lead to pain, tooth loss, systemic infections, and damage to internal organs. As awareness grows, veterinary dentistry in the U.S. is rapidly evolving to meet demand. Pet owners are increasingly recognizing that oral care is not just cosmetic but an essential part of overall pet health. Poor dental hygiene can result in significant discomfort, reduced quality of life, and increased risk of heart, liver, and kidney complications.
Veterinary dentistry now emphasizes both treatment and prevention. Professional dental cleanings under anesthesia, combined with dental radiography, allow veterinarians to detect and address hidden problems such as root abscesses, bone loss, and fractures. At-home dental care, while important, is often insufficient for reaching below the gumline where the most serious issues begin. Technological advancements have further enhanced care quality. Digital dental radiography offers precise diagnostic imaging, while laser dentistry is gaining popularity for procedures like gingival contouring, tumor removal, and minimally invasive periodontal treatments. These innovations improve clinical outcomes, reduce discomfort, and shorten recovery times.
