The growth of this market is attributed towards major relying factors including; the worldwide growing geriatric population, the increasing prevalence of oral health disorders across the globe, the increasing awareness regarding dental reformation, the escalating demand for dental implants and orthodontic appliances also causing a surge in dental tourism, the development of minimally invasive cosmetic dental procedures and the improving emphasis of key players on the launch of new products etc.

Additionally, the massively spurring technological advancements in cosmetic dentistry such as that of the CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design And Computer-Aided Manufacturing) systems which extensively use 3-dimensional technology to enhance the design and creation of dental restorations and dental prosthetics are opening new doors for the overall cosmetic dentistry market. Also, the adoption of technological advancements such as 3D tooth printing, digital smile design, and 3D dental imaging are also contributing to the growth of the market.

Moreover, in order to educate and inform the end-users about the benefits associated with oral care, various organizations are emphasizing on conducting awareness programs through advertisements and campaigns across cities in several regions which is comprehensively propelling considerable amount of growth in the cosmetic dentistry market.
