Dental X-ray equipment plays a crucial role in capturing images of the interior of teeth and gums, aiding in the identification of dental issues such as decaying teeth and cavities.
The primary types of dental X-ray equipment include extraoral X-ray systems, intraoral X-ray systems, and hybrid X-ray systems. Extraoral X-rays involve placing the X-ray film outside the mouth to capture images. The technologies utilized in dental X-ray equipment include digital and analog. These systems find applications in various fields, including cosmetics, medicine, and forensics.
Tariffs are impacting the dental x-ray equipment market by increasing the cost of imported imaging sensors, x-ray tubes, flat panel detectors, electronic control units, and shielding components used in intraoral and extraoral systems. Dental clinics and diagnostic centers in North America and Europe are most affected due to dependence on imported high-precision imaging components, while Asia-Pacific faces higher manufacturing input costs for export-oriented systems. These tariffs are increasing equipment prices and delaying technology upgrades for smaller clinics. However, they are also encouraging localized assembly, regional supplier partnerships, and domestic production of digital dental imaging equipment, supporting long-term supply chain resilience.

The dental x-ray equipment market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.19 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for cosmetic dentistry diagnostics, rising investments in advanced dental imaging, growing adoption of AI-assisted image analysis, expansion of dental care infrastructure in emerging markets, increasing focus on patient safety and diagnostic accuracy. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of digital dental imaging systems, rising use of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), growing preference for compact and portable x-ray units, expansion of hybrid imaging systems, enhanced focus on radiation dose optimization.
The dental X-ray equipment market is expected to experience growth driven by the increasing demand for cosmetic dentistry. Cosmetic dentistry involves procedures aimed at enhancing the appearance of teeth, gums, and bite. Dental X-ray equipment plays a vital role in cosmetic dentistry by aiding in diagnosis, planning, and executing various cosmetic procedures, ensuring patient safety and optimal outcomes. Statistics from 2023 reveal a growing trend in Americans using tooth whiteners, with an anticipated 38.92 million users and 80% of those aged 18 to 49 expressing a desire for whiter teeth. The prevalence of cosmetic dentistry procedures, such as teeth whitening, is contributing to the expansion of the dental X-ray equipment market.
Major players in the dental X-ray equipment market are advancing portable technologies, such as handheld X-ray devices, to capture a larger market share, enhance operational efficiency, and improve patient care through innovative imaging solutions. A handheld X-ray device is a portable imaging tool intended for use in medical, dental, and industrial applications. Its lightweight, battery-operated design facilitates easy transport and operation in diverse settings, including clinics and remote locations. For example, in February 2024, Mid America Dental Sales, a dental supply company based in the US, launched the X4 Handheld X-Ray Device, an efficient and lightweight dental X-ray solution. The X4 Handheld features a protective scatter shield that exceeds 0.5 mm lead equivalency, ensuring maximum safety for users. It operates with a fixed beam of 70kV/2mA and has a focal spot of 0.4 mm, making it suitable for various dental procedures, particularly advantageous for clinicians working with implants or treating pediatric patients.
In March 2025, Mikrona Group AG, a Switzerland-based manufacturer and distributor of orthodontic products and dental equipment, acquired Dental Axess AG for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Mikrona intends to reinforce its position in digital dentistry by incorporating Dental Axess's advanced CAD/CAM systems, intraoral scanners, 3D printers, X-ray equipment, and software platforms. Dental Axess AG, also based in Switzerland, supplies digital dentistry hardware and software, supporting dentists and dental laboratories with advanced design, scanning, and printing technologies.
