Dental inlays and onlays are types of dental restorations utilized to repair teeth with moderate to extensive decay or damage, without necessitating a full crown. They serve as a conservative alternative to crowns, preserving more of the natural tooth structure. A dental inlay is a custom-made restoration crafted outside the mouth by a dental laboratory, while a dental onlay covers a broader area of the tooth's surface, extending beyond the cusps.
The main types of dental inlays and onlays include direct and indirect methods. Direct dental inlays and onlays involve creating and placing these restorations directly within the patient's mouth during a single dental visit. Various materials such as porcelain, zirconia, gold, and composite are utilized for these applications, catering to hospitals and 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 dental inlays and onlays market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides dental inlays and onlays market statistics, including the dental inlays and onlays industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with dental inlays and onlays market share, detailed dental inlays and onlays market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the dental inlays and onlays industry. This dental inlays and onlays 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 dental inlays and onlays market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $3.46 billion in 2024 to $3.81 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased auxiliary support, minimally invasive dentistry, aesthetic considerations, evidence-based dentistry, and educational initiatives.
The dental inlays and onlays market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.56 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to regenerative dentistry solutions, an increase in consumer awareness, a rise in demand for cosmetic dentistry, an increase in dental practices, and a rise in dental practitioners. Major trends in the forecast period include nanotechnology integration, the 3D printing revolution, smart materials and sensors, regenerative dentistry approaches, and personalized treatment planning.
The forecast of 9.9% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 1.0% 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 pressed ceramic ingots and digital impression scanning tips, sourced from key regions such as France and Taiwan, which could lead to delays in indirect restorations and higher lab fees.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 rising prevalence of dental diseases is poised to fuel the expansion of the dental inlays and onlays market in the foreseeable future. Dental diseases encompass various conditions affecting the teeth, gums, and surrounding oral structures, often resulting in discomfort and potential complications if not addressed promptly. Contributing factors to the increasing prevalence of dental diseases include inadequate oral hygiene, poor dietary habits, tobacco use, alcohol consumption, and the aging population. To address the need for restorative treatments prompted by dental diseases, dental inlays and onlays offer a conservative, functional, and aesthetically pleasing solution for restoring teeth affected by decay, damage, or other dental issues. For example, as reported in the 2022-23 Annual Report released by the National Health Service in August 2023, there was a significant increase in dental disorder treatments administered, totaling 32.5 million instances, representing a 23.2% rise compared to the previous year. Consequently, the growing burden of dental diseases is propelling the growth of the dental inlays and onlays market.
Major players in the dental inlays and onlays market are focusing on creating innovative products, such as high-precision dental printers, to offer dental professionals a fast and accurate 3D printing solution for producing dental models and restorations. High-precision dental printers are specialized devices designed to create highly detailed and accurate dental models, prosthetics, and restorations, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal functionality for various dental procedures. For example, in February 2023, Desktop Metal Inc., a US-based manufacturing company, introduced the Einstein Pro XL 3D Printer, tailored for high-accuracy, high-throughput dental labs. This advanced 3D printer can print fine details (45 microns) over a large build area and incorporates cutting-edge technologies like 4K UHD projection, Hyperprint, and a closed-loop sensing system to enhance performance.
In April 2022, National Dentex Labs, a US-based manufacturer of dental crowns, acquired Swan Dental Lab for an undisclosed amount. As a result of this acquisition, National Dentex Labs will integrate the services provided by Swan Dental Lab, including case planning, comprehensive customer service, and a full range of dental products. Swan Dental Lab is a US-based dental laboratory.
