Dentures are artificial replacements for one or several teeth, serving as a practical solution for tooth loss. They facilitate easier eating and speaking, contribute to facial aesthetics, and closely resemble natural teeth.
The primary types of dentures are complete dentures and partial dentures. Complete dentures are removable appliances utilized when all teeth in a jaw need prosthetic replacement. Various materials are employed in the construction of dentures, including acrylic, ceramic, porcelain, metal, and others. Dentures can be categorized as fixed or removable based on their usage. Different manufacturing processes for dentures include conventional methods and the use of 3D printing technology. These dentures find application in specialized dental hospitals, somatology departments in general hospitals, and dental clinics.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp increase in U.S. tariffs and resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the medical equipment sector, especially for imported components used in imaging machines, surgical-grade stainless steel, and disposable plastics. With hospitals and clinics pushing back against price increases, manufacturers are facing margin pressure. The situation is further complicated by regulatory challenges, as switching suppliers due to tariffs often necessitates re-certification of medical devices, leading to delays in market entry. In response, companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing key components, ramping up domestic production of standardized items, and accelerating research into more cost-effective materials.
The dentures market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides denture market statistics, including denture industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a denture market share, detailed denture market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the denture industry. This denture market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The dentures market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.84 billion in 2024 to $2.99 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to dental health awareness, aging population, restorative dentistry needs, cosmetic dentistry culture, dental tourism, and insurance coverage.
The dentures market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.99 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to regulatory compliance, oral health education, minimally invasive dentistry, increasing medical tourism, and emerging market expansion. Major trends in the forecast period include digital dentures, interest in sustainable and biocompatible denture materials, 3D scanning for precise measurements, advancements in denture materials, and adhesive-free dentures.
The forecast of 7.5% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.3% from the previous estimate for this market.This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through supply chain disruptions for high-impact acrylic resins and computer-aided design or computer-aided manufacturing (CAD or CAM)-milled framework alloys, sourced from key regions such as Mexico and Singapore, which could lead to prolonged prosthetic fabrication times and increased denture costs.The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The increasing prevalence of periodontal diseases and edentulism is anticipated to drive the growth of the denture market in the coming years. Periodontal disease results from inflammation of the gums and bones that support the teeth. Gingivitis represents the early stage, while periodontitis is a more severe form, potentially leading to loose or lost teeth as the gums recede from the tooth. Dentures are removable dental implants designed to replace missing teeth and restore smiles. For example, in March 2023, the World Health Organization, a Switzerland-based governmental body, estimated that oral diseases affected nearly 3.5 billion people in 2022. Additionally, in February 2024, the British Dental Association, a UK-based health organization, reported that over 12 million adults in England have unmet dental needs. Therefore, the high prevalence of periodontal diseases is expected to drive growth in the denture market.
The rapid pace of urbanization is expected to drive the growth of the dentures market in the future. Urbanization refers to the trend of population concentration in urban areas, leading to the expansion and development of cities and towns. Urban areas typically feature a higher density of dental clinics and practitioners, providing individuals with easier access to dental care, including denture-related services. For example, in February 2024, according to Our World in Data, a UK-based nonprofit affiliated with the University of Oxford, approximately 7 billion people were living in urban areas worldwide. This figure is projected to rise to 9.8 billion by 2050, resulting in more than a 50% increase in the urban population. Consequently, rapid urbanization is fueling the growth of the dentures market.
The denture market is witnessing a notable trend with the introduction of advanced technical equipment. Technological advancements, such as 3D printed digital denture equipment and CAD/CAM systems, are enhancing the production of removable full-arch dentures. For example, 3dme Solutions launched 3dme Crown in October 2022, utilizing AI technology to automatically design crowns based on patients' 3D scan data. This trend reflects the industry's commitment to leveraging advanced tools for precision and efficiency in denture design and production, meeting the evolving needs of patients and practitioners alike.
Major players in the dentures market are driving innovation through the introduction of cutting-edge technologies, exemplified by the adoption of ceramic-infused 3D printing resins. These advanced materials, showcased by SprintRay Inc. in May 2023, leverage additive manufacturing processes to craft high-performance dentures. The resins seamlessly integrate the durability and aesthetic qualities of ceramics with the precision and customization features inherent in 3D printing. Notably, the high impact denture base within this range has received FDA 510(k) approval, further endorsing its efficacy for 3D manufacturing and repair of both full and partial removable dentures and baseplates.
In August 2024, Ultradent Products Inc., a US-based manufacturer of dental products, acquired Medicinos Linija UAB for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is intended to enhance Ultradent's product offerings and expand its market presence in the dental industry by leveraging i-dental's innovative technologies and expertise in dental materials. Medicinos Linija UAB is a Lithuania-based company specializing in the manufacture of dentures.
