The full dentures market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market for complete dentures has seen robust growth in the past few years. The market which was valued at $1.53 billion in 2024 is expected to reach a size of $1.67 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1%.
The growth during the previous period can be credited to an increasing demand for solutions to serious and persistent oral health issues, a surge in periodontal diseases, growing consciousness about aesthetic dental solutions, a greater focus on improved oral health, and a rise in caries prevalence.
The full dentures market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Expectations are high for significant growth in the full dentures market in the upcoming years. By 2029, its projected to expand to $2.33 billion, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%.
This expected growth during the forecast period is a result of an increased need to resolve severe and long-term oral health issues, a rise in incidences of periodontal diseases, an uplift in the demand for aesthetic dental solutions, along with an amplified focus on superior oral health, and a surge in cases of caries. Major trends influencing this forecast period include technological breakthroughs, 3D printing, innovative materials, cost-effective and efficient solutions, advancements in denture technology and new developments in denture fabrication.
The escalating incidence of periodontal diseases is anticipated to influence the expansion of the full denture market in the future. Periodontic diseases, alternatively termed as periodontal diseases, are a collection of inflammatory disorders impacting the supporting structures of the teeth. This high incidence of periodontal disease is attributed to the widespread presence of gum diseases, inadequate oral hygiene, aging demographics, and a growing understanding of the effect of oral health on overall well-being. Full dentures bolster the oral soft tissues and might assist in preserving the natural contour of the mouth and jaw, potentially alleviating complications associated with periodontal diseases. These dentures have the ability to replace missing teeth, eliminating the necessity for further extractions and assisting in maintaining oral functionality. For example, the World Health Organization (WHO), an intergovernmental organization based in Switzerland, reports that periodontal diseases impact approximately 19% of the worldwide adult population, equating to over one billion cases globally each year. Therefore, the escalating incidence of periodontal diseases propels growth in the full denture market.

Leading firms in the full denture market are concentrating their efforts on creating cutting-edge solutions, such as 3D-printed permanent dentures, with the goal to increase patient satisfaction by offering personalized, more effective, and rapidly produced alternatives. A 3D-printed permanent denture solution implies a modern approach to producing dentures using 3D printing technology, offering an efficient and highly adaptable answer for patients requiring dental prosthetics. For example, in February 2023, US-based additive manufacturing firm, Stratasys Ltd., introduced TrueDent, the first monolithic, full-color 3D-printed permanent denture solution. This novel approach simplifies the denture production process, allowing the creation of an entire denture in a single print instead of assembling numerous parts. Using advanced materials, the technology offers both aesthetic appeal and functional durability, addressing common problems faced in conventional denture manufacturing. The full-color feature of these dentures not only enhances the visual quality but also ensures a better match to the patient's natural gum and tooth colors.
