The major factors include increasing incidences of oral health disorders, an increase in demand for cosmetic procedures, and the adoption of advanced technologies and product innovations that are propelling the growth of the market. Restorative dentistry is a part of dentistry that aims to replace damaged or missing teeth. The objective of restorative dentistry is to save teeth and restore the original look, shape, and function of natural teeth. The other factor which is bolstering the market growth is increasing awareness among people, concerns regarding oral care and dental problems, rapid advancements in technologies, a growing number of dental care practitioners, intensifying medical and dental tourism, growing investments by key market players, expansion of healthcare facilities, and rising government initiatives. Also, the rising elderly population and growing expenses in the healthcare sector are facilitating the growth of the market.
Rising Incidences of Oral Health Disorders and an Increase in demand for Cosmetic Procedures
The growing instances of oral disorders such as dental cavities, tooth decay, plaque, and periodontal diseases are bolstering the growth of the market. The rising number of patients suffering from dental issues is fueling the growth of the market. For instance, the Health Authority of Abu Dhabi (HAAD), the regulatory agency of the health care sector, has stated that around 40 percent of oral health expenditure in the nation is associated with dental caries and periodontal disease treatment. Owing to the rise in the aged population, the demand for restorative dentistry is rising, which, in turn, strengthens the growth of the market. Moreover, the surging demand for cosmetic procedures due to the rising emphasis on enhancing the appearance of smile, teeth, gums, and others are propelling the growth of the market.
Rising Awareness and Intensifying Dental Tourism to Support Market Growth
Over the past few years, people are becoming more aware of oral health due to the rise in dental diseases. Not only the elderly population but even young children are also going through dental infections such as tooth decay, cavities, and others.

For instance, in 2017, the “MY SMILE” program was launched in 12 Government and Private schools, including 1500 students aged 4-6 years old in Dubai. In addition, many tourists visit UAE for dental work as the country provides the best dental services with the highest standards, high-quality treatments, and the use of advanced technology, which, in turn, facilitate the growth of the market.
