Dental Technology: Opportunities to Optimize Dentistry

The over $136 billion dental market is growing steadily at 6% annually, with several emerging trends accelerating investor interest in dental technology.1 

For example, the dental service organization (DSO) model continues to surge in popularity among dental professionals, especially during a period of heightened operating challenges. Momentum in the DSO market, a need to drive efficiencies, and high fragmentation across the dental landscape support rising tech adoption within dental practices of all sizes. 

Case in point: Consolidation is driving professionalization throughout the sector, leading to greater investment in modern tech systems that enhance the patient experience while streamlining operational and clinical workflows. At the same time, it’s becoming more imperative for dental practices, both big and small, to invest in tech solutions to stay relevant in an increasingly competitive market. 

With these tailwinds in place, investors are targeting dental tech companies that aid operational scalability, drive patient acquisition and satisfaction, improve quality of revenue, and minimize overhead costs. Key areas of focus include practice management software and artificial intelligence solutions, which are becoming more critical across dentistry.
