The UAE dental devices market consists of a wide variety of dental equipment and supplies, and includes almost all of the materials necessary for conducting and caring for oral health diagnostics, treatments, and prevention. Digital imaging systems, intraoral scanners, milling machines, CAD and CAM restorations, and dental lasers are examples of such structures; in addition to ergonomic chairs, these types of dental devices are also widely utilised. Consumables, such as dental implants, prosthetics, clear aligners, and biomaterials, as well as preventive products, are also part of this segment. Dental devices are used to support many restorative and/or aesthetic procedures, including but not limited to restorative dentistry, veneers and smile makeovers, orthodontics, endodontics, periodontics, and general prevention. They are found within different settings throughout the country, including hospitals, private clinics, dental laboratory facilities, and specialised centres for the delivery of both routine dental treatment and complex dental treatment in an adaptive health care system.

 

Market growth within the UAE is being driven by: Increased awareness of dental health from the public, the growing number of dental problems resulting from changes in lifestyle; and, demand for aesthetic dentistry from residents of the UAE and medical tourists. Dubai and Abu Dhabi attract both domestic and international patients because of the level of quality of care provided and affordability when compared to other countries for the same cosmetic and restorative procedures. Additionally, recent developments in digital technology as it relates to dentistry (i.e. AI-powered diagnostics, 3D printing, less invasive dentistry) will yield greater benefits to the healthcare providers as well as their patients by significantly improving accuracy and patient experience. In addition to the above, the UAE government is attempting to speed up the growth of the dental devices market by requiring mandatory health insurance to provide dental coverage, implementing a healthcare modernization strategy in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi, providing free zone incentives for technology adoption and development, and investing in infrastructure for improved access to all emirates of the UAE, including those that are underserved.
