Dental Imaging Market Research, 2032
The global dental imaging market size was valued at $6.4 billion in 2022, and is projected to reach $14.7 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 8.7% from 2023 to 2032. Dental imaging is a technology that produces visual representation of the teeth, jaws, and surrounding oral structures for diagnostic and treatment purposes. Dental imaging technologies are used by dentists and oral surgeons to visualize the teeth, jaws, and surrounding tissues in order to identify and diagnose various oral health conditions.
There are several types of dental imaging technologies available including X-ray systems, intraoral cameras, scanners, and others. Dental X-rays are also commonly used to examine teeth structures. It uses electromagnetic radiation to capture images of the mouth. The radiation beam passes through soft tissues and creates images of teeth and bones. Dental imaging has a wide range of applications, including detection of dental and oral health conditions, monitoring progress of treatment, and cosmetic industry.
