Dental practice management software market to reach $954.53m by 2028

It is due to an increased focus on maximising dental chair utilisation.

The global dental practice management software (DPM) market is projected to grow by $954.53m from 2024 to 2028, with a compound annual growth rate of 8.52%, as reported by Technavio.

Key drivers include an increased focus on maximising dental chair utilisation and the need for detailed, customised reporting.

DPM software is being rapidly adopted by clinics, hospitals, dental colleges, and independent practitioners, the report said. Cloud-based and web-based platforms lead the trend, offering scalable, flexible solutions that enhance efficiency and lower costs.

The rising elderly population and growing demand for managing oral health issues, including insurance processing for elderly patients, are also boosting adoption.

Prominent platforms like Denticon and Planet DDS provide essential features such as data security, payment processing, insurance management, and patient communication tools. Additionally, private equity investments are accelerating growth, especially in areas like cosmetic dentistry and dental tourism.

DPM software also delivers valuable daily reports, tracking key metrics on appointments, prescriptions, and finances. This functionality allows dental practices to make informed, data-driven decisions, improving operational and financial performance.
