Factors such as integration with accounting systems, interoperability with diagnostic tools, the development of patient portals, mobile accessibility, modifications for specialty practices, and improved data security protocols have significantly contributed to the growth during the historic period.

• The market size of dental practice management is predicted to experience a swift surge in the coming years. It is expected to inflate up to $3.26 billion by the year 2029, with an impressive compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.8%.
This surge during the projection period can be linked to the digital revolution within the healthcare sector, an increase in the use of cloud-based solutions, emphasis on patient-driven care, measures for data privacy and cybersecurity, mobile accessibility, and support for remote work. Key trends anticipated during the projection period involves patient loyalty and retention programs, customization and scalability, resources focusing on education and training, optimizing appointments and managing resources, and developing patient portals.
The escalating incidence of oral health problems is playing a pivotal role in propelling the dental practice management market forward. Oral health problems encompass conditions that implicate the mouth, teeth, gums, tongue, and other related structures, leading to complications like cavities, gum disease, and oral infections. The swell in these dental health issues corresponds to an increased need for dental services and necessitates improved, cutting-edge practice management solutions, to not only enhance operational efficiency but also advance patient care and elevate the overall practice experience in dentistry. For instance, in 2022, the World Health Organization, a dedicated agency of the United Nations accountable for international public health, reported that oral disorders distress 3.5 billion individuals across the globe, which is roughly half of the planet's population. It is noted that three-quarters of the affected individuals are found in lower- and middle-income countries. Hence, the rise in oral diseases stands as a significant driver to escalate demand for the dental practice management market.
