United Kingdom Dental Devices Market Analysis

The United Kingdom Dental Devices Market size is estimated at USD 1.65 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 2.22 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.10% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

Oral diseases, such as cavities (tooth decay), gum (periodontal) disease, and oral cancer, are increasing among the UK population, resulting in a rising focus on diagnosis and treatment, which is expected to increase the demand for dental devices.

For instance, according to a report published by the UK government in January 2024, the increasing burden of oral diseases is driving the growth of the UK dental devices market. The report was evidenced by nearly half of adults experiencing oral health impacts and 21% reporting severe impacts on daily life, along with an aging population that retains an average of 25.4 natural teeth in 2022

The demand for dental implants has significantly increased as they have become a preferred option for replacing missing teeth due to their durability, aesthetic appeal, and functionality. This trend has led to a notable rise in the need for various implant components, including abutments, screws, and healing caps.

For instance, according to an article published by the Solihull Dental Centre & Implant Clinic1 in March 2024, over 238,900 dental implant procedures were performed in the United Kingdom in 2022, highlighting a rising demand for advanced dental care solutions. This surge in procedures reflects an increasing patient preference for restorative treatments and the adoption of innovative dental technologies. Consequently, these factors are boosting the growth of the market.

The expansion of dental practices equipped with state-of-the-art technologies underscores the growing demand for advanced radiology equipment. In May 2023, the Direct Dental Group opened a new dental practice in London featuring the latest advancements in dental technology. The practice boasts modern X-ray machines and an intra-oral scanner, eliminating the need for traditional dental impressions. This focus on high-tech equipment ensures that patients receive the most precise diagnoses and treatments, reflecting a broader trend toward incorporating cutting-edge technologies in dental care.

Hence, the growth of the dental devices market in the United Kingdom is driven by increasing demand for advanced dental treatments, heightened consumer interest in aesthetic procedures, and ongoing technological innovations. However, factors such as delayed dental appointments and lack of preventative care have been impacting the demand for dental devices, thereby expected to restrain the growth of the UK dental devices market during the forecast period.
