U.S. Tooth Filling Materials Market – By Product, By End Use, & Forecast, 2024 – 2032

U.S. Tooth Filling Materials Market Size

The U.S. tooth filling materials market size was valued at around USD 703.3 million in 2023 and is expected to exhibit growth at a CAGR of 5.5%. Rapid expansion is being seen in the U.S. tooth filling market propelled by key trends which include a high incidence of dental caries, increased awareness of dental care and hygiene, effective reimbursement structures, and growing demand for dental aesthetics.
 

The marketing of tooth filling materials is undoubtedly growing as the incidence of dental caries in the U.S. increases because more individuals require restorative dental treatment to cavities and tooth decay. Dental Caries is a serious chronic condition that most people, regardless of age, deal with, there's a particularly high rate of incidence within children, adolescents, and the elderly population.

Tooth filling materials encompass those which dentists use to fill oral cavities and restore the structure and function of the damaged teeth. Such material includes amalgam, composite resins, glass ionomer and gold. They are meant to provide restoration from both structural and aesthetic aspects. These fillings were specifically developed to accommodate the functional aspects of repairing a tooth and also the increasing patient requests for less conspicuous or even tooth shaded fillings.
