The 3D Dental Scanners Market size is estimated to grow by USD 999.51 million at a CAGR of 13.19% between 2023 and 2028.
There is an increasing adoption of these products by dentists due to factors such as the rapidly dropping prices of dental scanners, as well as the increasing availability of low-cost quality dental scanners. In addition, the added benefit of decreasing time consumption for one patient diagnosis and treatment broadens their spectrum of reach to more patients, thus increasing their profit. Moreover, there is an increasing focus by companies on developing affordable dental scanners. For example, Dental Wings uses a biocompatible finish for the wand that aids in reducing the manufacturing cost. Hence, such factors are positively impacting the market.

The desktop or laboratory 3D dental scanners segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. The desktop or laboratory 3D dental segment is commonly purchased bundled with Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) software. In addition, a dentist needs to check whether the scanner and its software are compatible with the milling and 3D printer before the purchase. This segment is mostly used to scan outside the mouth.

The desktop or laboratory 3D dental scanners segment was the largest segment and was valued at USD 265.18 million in 2018. Moreover, these scanners use light, cameras, and rotating platforms to scan dental structures for cases related to orthodontics, implants, and restorations. In addition, a few scanners offer automated scanning for individual dies, while others scan the entire model at once. 3D desktop or laboratory dental scanners can improve the productivity of dentists by 40% to 80%. For example, the D2000 lab scanner, by 3Shape, lets the dentist capture upper, lower, and bite impressions in a single scan. It captures the textures and colors of the original teeth for a real-time design experience. Hence, such factors are expected to fuel the growth of this segment which in turn will drive the market growth during the forecast period.
A 3D dental light scanner is essentially used to measure the shape of a tooth by using projected light patterns and a camera system. It typically comprises a projector and two cameras. In addition, there are two types of 3D dental light scanners available in the market: White light scanners offer reliable data about dental structure by recording, measuring, and translating photographic images. Moreover, an organized light can catch a dense point cloud compared with regular laser scanners. Furthermore, organized light scans can be accurate and to the point and, therefore, are chosen when a close, correct virtual model is required. In addition, white light scanners are apt for scanning components such as metal parts, tools and dies, molded/cast parts, and intricate prototypes. Hence, such factors are expected to fuel the growth of this segment which in turn will drive the market growth during the forecast period.
3D dental laser scanners enable dentists or technicians to find the dental structure with ease and accuracy. In addition, the scanner needs to be put inside the mouth, and shine a laser beam around the mouth. Thus, the reflections as a result of shining the laser beam get calculated and stored as a point on the computer. Moreover, 3D dental laser scanners capture clear and accurate dental impressions within minutes without the requirement for customary impression materials. Several manufacturers require CAD since assembling procedures during product development are mechanized and automated. Furthermore, the laser technology in 3D dental scanners is revolutionary. The main advantage of 3D dental laser scanners is they make a digital copy of the scan, which can be stored and referred to whenever needed. Hence, such factors are expected to fuel the growth of this segment which in turn will drive the market growth during the forecast period.

North America is estimated to contribute 39% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that will shape the market during the forecast period. Factors such as the increasing prevalence of edentulism, dental cavities, and periodontal diseases due to poor eating habits in adults and children are significantly contributing to the market growth in North America. In addition, the increasing number of visits indicates the need for the management of dental disorders, which facilitates the growth of the regional market. Moreover, several dental conditions such as edentulism or tooth lessness are prominent in the population aged above 60 years. As a result, it presents significant opportunities for revenue generation from dental implants in the region. Hence, such factors are driving the market growth in North America during the forecast period.
In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the growth of the global 3D dental scanners market witnessed a significant slowdown due to the shutdown of several manufacturing units, including 3D dental scanners, in North America. However, in 2021, the initiation of large-scale vaccination drives lifted the lockdown and travel restrictions, which led to the restoration of operations in manufacturing units. Such factors are expected to drive the market during the forecast period.

There are multiple factors influencing market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges.
One of the key factors driving the 3D dental scanner market growth is the increase in accuracy, speed, and productivity with advanced procedures. There has been rapid development in the digital ecosystem due to increasing digitization. In addition, the advances in technology and innovative materials have been impacting the dental industry with more durable and highly aesthetic prosthetics. There is a shift among dentists/clinicians, laboratory technicians, and patients among digital processes which enables more accurate/precise restorative outcomes and highly effective patient treatment.
Moreover, 3D scanners help in capturing important minute details, thus making the diagnosis and treatment faster as well as more accurate. In addition, these devices have made the process of dentistry simple and seamless. Furthermore, the scanners enable dentists to integrate the scanned images with the patient's electronic health records, allowing easy access to data from any place in the world. Hence, such factors are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.
A key factor shaping the 3D dental scanner market growth is the constant technological advances. The advancements in dental care have enhanced outcomes for conventional oral therapeutic care issues. In addition, various dental equipment and devices have been developed to make dental procedures more comfortable for patients and very handy for professionals.
Moreover, the rising urban population worldwide is driving the demand for restorative, cosmetic dentistry, and procedures. In addition, digital dentistry extensively reduces the turnaround time for preparing dental implants. Furthermore, automation in dental laboratories has decreased expenditure significantly. Hence, such factors are positively impacting the market. Therefore, it is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.
High initial capital investment and excessive cost of dental diagnostic procedures are some of the key challenges hindering the 3D dental scanner market growth. The innovation and technology in dentistry allow patients to have effective treatment. In addition, it comprises any dental procedure that improves the appearance of individual teeth, gums, or any problem related to the oral cavity, including supporting structures.
However, the price for 3D dental scanning is relatively expensive. In addition, the cost of treatment can become more expensive depending on the required treatment, the 3D dental scanning involved, and the nature of the procedure. Moreover, dental insurance does not cover most of the diagnostic dental procedures. Hence, such factors are negatively impacting the market. Therefore, it is expected to hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
