Cosmetic Dentistry Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2022 - 2027)
The Cosmetic Dentistry Market is expected to register a CAGR of 7.1% during the forecast period.
COVID-19 had a significant impact on the growth of the market during the forecast period. As per the news report published by American Dental Association (ADA) in August 2022, ADA released a revised infection control guide that outlines the importance of implementing comprehensive infection prevention and control practices in the dental office as well as other treatment settings. The lockdown circumstances postponed many outpatients' visits and reduced the patient influx, thereby negatively impacted the growth of the abutment implants market. For instance, in May 2020, the article titled 'COVID-19 Outbreak- Immediate and Long-Term Impacts on Dental Profession' stated that approximately nine out of ten dental practices had less than a quarter of their typical patient volume, with 82% of dental practices have had less than a quarter of typical income and revenue. Thus, the COVID-19 pandemic harmed the abutment implants market. However, the patients have started to visit dentistry due to the relaxation of restrictions during the post-pandemic period. Thus, owing to the aforesaid factors the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the studied market.
Based on an article published in January 2021 titled "COVID-19 and Dental Implants: Impact and Perspectives", the pandemic made healthcare professionals, and implant dentists, take extra measures to deliver exceptional care in the safest possible environments. The same source also reports that patients with symptoms of a COVID-19 infection were prohibited from entering implant clinics. Such factors greatly affected the market's growth rate. However, owing to the resumption of elective procedures and practices, the market is anticipated to bolster over the coming years.
Cosmetic dentistry procedures are referred to any dental procedures that improve the appearance of teeth, gums, and or bites and primarily focus on improvement in dental aesthetics in shape, size, alignment, color, position, and overall smile appearance. Some of the common cosmetic procedures include porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, dental bonding, smile makeover, full mouth reconstruction, gum lift and contouring, and others. Oral diseases are the most common non-communicable diseases and affect individuals throughout their lifetime, which results in pain, discomfort, and disfigurement. Inadequate exposure to fluoride and poor oral hygiene hurt oral health. According to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) in 2020, estimates that 96% of females opt for cosmetic dentistry and more than 70% of female patients who opt for cosmetic dentistry are between the ages of 31 and 50. Also, the resource article titled "7 ADVANTAGES OF COSMETIC DENTISTRY IN 2022" published in April 2022 stated that more dentists are performing cosmetic dentistry as it becomes more popular, making it more widely available. Furthermore, more sophisticated dental treatments typically require numerous sessions to complete, some procedures, like composite veneers, are likely to be completed in a single appointment. Owing to such advantages of cosmetic dentistry, the market is likely to grow over the forecast period.
Moreover, the growing geriatric population increases the prevalence of tooth-related diseases and is in part fueling the demand for dental aesthetic procedures.

According to Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2020, about 47.2% of population in the United States who are above the age of 30 have some form of periodontal disease. According to the study titled "Update on the prevalence of untreated caries in the US adult population, 2017-2020" published in the Journal of American Dental Association in April 2022, untreated caries were found to be prevalent in 21.3 %. The prevalence of coronal and root caries was 17.9 and 10.1 %, respectively. Caries was most common in those aged 30 to 39 years (25.2%) and 40 to 49 years (22.3%), men (23.5%), and those of other races (36.5% )This untreated dental caries can lead to tooth extraction and generate the need for cosmetic dentistry in the region.
Also, the National Institute of Health article titled 'Estimates of Funding for Various Research, Condition, and Disease Categories' published in June 2021 reported that an estimated USD 638 million annual research support for dental/Oral and Craniofacial Disease based on grants, contracts, and other funding mechanisms used across the National Institutes of Health.
