Global Dental Crown Market - Size, Share, and Forecast (2025-2033)

Dental Crown Market Size

The global dental crown market size reached US$ 4.21 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 7.25 Billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 6.3% during the forecast period 2025-2033.

Dental Crown Market Overview

The dental crown market is poised for sustained growth over the next decade, underpinned by demographic shifts (aging populations), heightened aesthetic consciousness, and technological revolutions in digital dentistry. While North America currently dominates in terms of installed base and reimbursement frameworks, Asia-Pacific is emerging as the fastest-growing region, driven by rising incomes and expanding dental infrastructure. 

Key players such as 3M, Ivoclar Vivadent, Dentsply Sirona, and Nobel Biocare continue to invest in R&D, particularly in advanced ceramic materials and chairside solutions, which will further accelerate market expansion. To capitalize on growth opportunities, stakeholders must address cost barriers, bolster workforce training in digital workflows, and navigate complex regulatory landscapes. Overall, the outlook for dental crowns, especially high-demand segments such as monolithic zirconia and digital chairside crowns, remains highly positive through 2033. 

Dental Crown Market Executive Summary

Dental Crown Market Dynamics: Drivers & Restraints

The rising prevalence of dental disorders is significantly driving the dental crown market growth

The rising prevalence of dental disorders, particularly dental caries and periodontal diseases, directly fuels demand for dental crowns, as these conditions often result in extensive tooth damage that cannot be adequately restored with simple fillings. For instance, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), globally, an estimated 2 billion people suffer from caries of permanent teeth, and 514 million children suffer from caries of primary teeth, once decay progresses beyond a critical threshold, crowns become necessary to restore tooth structure and function, especially when fillings fail to provide sufficient strength or protection. 

Similarly, severe periodontal diseases affecting around 19 percent of the global adult population (over 1 billion cases) can lead to significant tooth structure loss or tooth mobility. In such cases, crowns (often placed on teeth with root‐canal treatment or on implant abutments) are used to rehabilitate damaged dentition.

Regionally, these burdens translate into growing crown volumes. In North America, especially in the United States, as decay or periodontal breakdown worsens, clinicians routinely place crowns to salvage heavily restored or endodontically treated teeth, driving market growth. For instance, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that nearly 47% of adults over the age of 30 in the U.S. have some form of periodontal disease. 

Thus, as the global burden of oral disease continues to climb, more patients require the structural reinforcement and esthetic restoration that dental crowns provide, making this segment one of the fastest‐growing in restorative dentistry.

The high cost associated with dental crowns is hampering the growth of the market

High fabrication and material costs for dental crowns, ranging from approximately US$ 500 to 3,000 per tooth, depending on whether they are ceramic (zirconia, porcelain) or PFM, create a substantial financial barrier for many patients, especially where insurance coverage is limited or absent. In developing regions, out-of-pocket expenses discourage patients from electing crown treatments. When costs are this high and reimbursement support is minimal, many patients opt for alternative, less expensive treatments, directly suppressing crown adoption and overall market growth 

The price of dental crowns can vary widely, ranging from US$ 500 to US$ 3,000 per crown, depending on the material. Premium materials like zirconia and porcelain tend to be the most expensive. For instance, according to Ocean Breeze Prosthodontics, porcelain crowns and zirconia crowns prices range from $800 to $3,000, porcelain-fused-to-metal prices range from $500 to $1,500, and gold crowns prices range from $600 to $2,500.

Dental Crown Market, Segment Analysis

The global dental crown market is segmented based on virus type, material, end-user, and region.

The ceramic/porcelain from the material segment is expected to hold 32.14% of the market share in 2024 in the dental crown market 

The ceramic/porcelain segment dominates the dental crown market primarily because these materials best replicate the natural translucency and coloration of teeth while offering high strength and biocompatibility. In 2024, ceramics accounted for the largest share of the global crowns market, owing to their ability to blend seamlessly with surrounding dentition and their minimal risk of allergic reactions. 

Advances in digital workflows have further cemented ceramics’ leading position. In February 2023, SprintRay Inc. launched a complete chairside “Ceramic Crown 3D Printing Ecosystem,” enabling same-day, in-office fabrication of fully sintered ceramic crowns in under 45 minutes. Such innovations lower turnaround time and reduce lab dependence, making ceramic crowns especially attractive for anterior teeth, where aesthetics are critical. 

Development of advanced ceramic/porcelain dental crowns by market players is further driving the growth of the segment. For instance, in March 2025, Cybermed Inc. launched REON Ceramic C&V (Crown and Veneer), a cutting-edge ceramic 3D printing material. This advanced material is specifically designed for final permanent prostheses, offering exceptional strength, biocompatibility, and aesthetic precision. The introduction of REON Ceramic C&V marks a pivotal advancement in digital dentistry, streamlining the transition to fully integrated 3D printing workflows for final restorations.

Dental Crown Market, Geographical Analysis

North America is expected to dominate the global dental crown market with a 42.92% share in 2024 

North America’s strong position is underpinned by advanced healthcare infrastructure, high per-capita dental expenditure, and robust insurance reimbursement policies (e.g., the American Dental Association’s support for direct reimbursement plans), which together lower patient out‐of‐pocket costs and boost uptake of crowns for both restorative and cosmetic purposes.

Moreover, North America, particularly the United States, has rapidly embraced digital dentistry technologies (CAD/CAM systems, intraoral scanners, and chairside milling units), enabling same‐day restorations that enhance efficiency and patient satisfaction; this technological edge further cements the region’s leadership among North America. 

For instance, in May 2025, Glidewell launched Fusion with BruxZir Zirconia, a modernized bilayered restoration designed to mimic nature perfectly. Priced at just $199 per unit, Fusion with BruxZir Zirconia is for dentists who desire the highest level of esthetics in their smile transformations. To create this new restorative solution, Glidewell uses proprietary manufacturing technology to fuse a milled wraparound zirconia veneer to a milled zirconia core, authentically replicating the dentin-enamel relationship of real teeth. Fusion with BruxZir Zirconia is the first crown in the CAD/CAM age that truly mimics natural dentition

Asia-Pacific is growing at the fastest pace in the dental crown market, holding 20.17% of the market share 

With growing urbanization, there has been a rise in awareness about oral hygiene and the importance of dental care across the region. Government initiatives and increased public health campaigns about the importance of oral health are encouraging more people to seek dental care. For instance, the Indian Dental Association (IDA) drafted the National Oral Health Programme to address the burden of dental disease in an effective manner to bring about 'optimal oral health' for all. Networking for the optimal oral health of the nation contributes to leading a healthy and satisfying life.
