The dental practice management software market was valued at US$ 2.78 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 6.35 billion by 2031. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 10.9% in 2023–2031. The emergence of digital health and integrated technologies will likely remain a key dental practice management software market trend.
Dental practice management software is used to help dentists tackle unique challenges. These solutions are easy-to-handle cloud-based software that helps smooth clinical and administrative routines and deliver powerful tools for managing dental clinic data. The dental practice management software provides templates for dental practices that can import and organize tooth, X-rays, and gum graphics. This leads to increasing use of this software by the dental practitioner and thereby drives the demand for dental practice management software.
Most patients worldwide face tooth loss due to accidents, periodontal diseases, injuries, tooth decay, and others. The rising prevalence and recurrent nature of dental caries and periodontal disease increase the demand for endodontic treatment procedures. For instance, tooth decay and periodontal disease are the two main risks to dental health. According to the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, adults over 30 who have periodontal disease have a rate of 47.2%. The prevalence of periodontal disease increases with age; among adults 65 and over, 70.1% have the condition. Men are more likely than women to have this condition (56.4% vs. 38.4%). Thus, a high prevalence of dental diseases is likely to boost dentists' adoption of dental practice management software in the coming years.
Data collected during a dental procedure can be managed using a safer, more standardized information system called cloud-based delivery mode. With the help of the cloud-based system, users can access data on any device anytime by connecting to the computer via the internet or a web browser. Commercial and academic institutions can manage laboratory data generated from tasks like sample testing, instrument usage, automation, and report generation more easily with the help of the cloud-based delivery mode. An incredibly controllable substitute that facilitates access to real-time data about patients, staff, and devices on a healthcare facility's grounds is a cloud-based delivery mode system. Entteri, a Finland-based company in the dental sector, offers Romexis AssisDent, an example of a cloud-based delivery method. Romexis AssisDent increases the clinic's output to the fullest. Every stage of the patient experience is covered, including making appointments and reminding patients to follow up. It also provides sophisticated tools for business reporting. Process automation has made a variety of management solutions available to patients.
The healthcare industry is constantly developing significantly due to the increasing global demand from a large population, which has increased new product development, product launches, and approvals. Additionally, major market players are engaged in investing in research and development activities to ensure the innovation and development of efficient products. For instance, in September 2022, Carestream Dental launched a new cloud-based practice management software solution for oral and maxillofacial surgery. According to a press release from Carestream, this solution, known as Sensei Cloud for Oral Surgery, is intended for accessible, user-friendly management solutions for oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) specialists. In January 2024, Smilefy, Inc. released Smilefy 4.0, a 3D smile design program powered by Al. Dentists can create print-ready 3D models, design 3D smiles, and offer patients a trial to see their new smiles before committing. This establishes realistic expectations and facilitates communication.
