The artificial intelligence (ai)-based caries detection market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $0.62 billion in 2025 to $0.72 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing adoption of digital imaging in dentistry, increasing prevalence of dental caries, advancements in ai algorithms for image analysis, rising awareness of preventive dental care, availability of affordable dental imaging devices.
The artificial intelligence (ai)-based caries detection market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.29 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of tele-dentistry services, integration of ai with cloud-based dental platforms, development of portable intraoral imaging devices, rising investment in ai-powered healthcare solutions, increasing demand for personalized dental treatment. Major trends in the forecast period include AI-powered diagnostic accuracy, predictive analytics for early detection, remote dental monitoring, integration of imaging and ai software, personalized treatment planning.
The rising prevalence of dental diseases is expected to drive the growth of the AI-powered caries detection market. Dental diseases affect the teeth, gums, and surrounding tissues, potentially causing pain, infection, and difficulty with oral functions. The increasing consumption of sugary and processed foods is contributing to the rise of dental problems, as these foods promote tooth decay and gum issues by fostering harmful oral bacteria. AI-based caries detection systems help manage these diseases by accurately identifying early-stage tooth decay, allowing for prompt treatment and reducing the risk of severe complications. For example, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) reported in September 2023 that approximately 62.06% of older adults are expected to experience tooth decay, while 54.57% are likely to suffer from periodontal disease by 2050. This growing burden of dental diseases is driving the demand for AI-based caries detection technologies.
Companies in the AI-based caries detection market are focusing on creating innovative solutions to improve accuracy and efficiency in dental care. These solutions, such as advanced clinical enhancers, streamline clinical workflows, save time, and reduce the risk of human error. For instance, in January 2025, VideaHealth, a U.S.-based dental technology company, launched the Caries 3 model, which incorporates an advanced clinical enhancer to improve accuracy by filtering out potential false positives based on factors such as caries size and tooth location. This model is the only FDA-cleared AI tool for detecting caries in individuals aged 3 and above using bitewing and periapical X-rays. The Caries 3 model enhances patient communication through improved visualizations, making it easier for dental professionals to explain conditions and encourage treatment acceptance. These advancements help dental practices deliver precise, evidence-based care while staying at the forefront of technology.
In July 2025, Dentalcorp Holdings Ltd., a Canadian healthcare services company, partnered with VideaHealth to integrate AI-powered caries detection technology across its nationwide dental practice network. This collaboration represents a significant step in Dentalcorp’s growth strategy, enhancing clinical quality and streamlining operations within its network. By adopting VideaHealth’s AI technology, Dentalcorp aims to detect dental conditions earlier, improving patient outcomes and fostering better patient understanding and engagement, which is expected to lead to higher treatment acceptance.
