Dental Simulator Market size was estimated at USD 414 million in 2024 and is expected to surpass USD 1.23 billion by the end of 2037, rising at a CAGR of 8.8% during the forecast period, i.e., 2025-2037. In 2025, the industry size of dental simulators will be valued at USD 450.5 million.
The dental simulator market is anticipated to significantly expand during the forecast period owing to technological developments in dental simulators and rising demand for high-fidelity and digitally integrated training tools. Traditionally, dental education depended heavily on live patient interactions and basic mannequin models but the increase of innovative simulators has transformed how practitioners and students are trained in realistic and controlled environments. These innovations help bridge the gap between practical experience and theoretical learning which offers a dynamic and hands-on approach to master dental techniques. For example, in May 2022, Align Technology presented the next-generation patient communication tool Invisalign Outcome Simulator Pro. This device is designed to demonstrate to patients their potential new smile after Invisalign treatment. It uses innovative algorithms to generate realistic simulations, supporting patient education and treatment acceptance.

Product Type (Haptic Dental Simulators, Manikin-Based Dental Simulators, Virtual Reality Dental Simulators, Other Product Types)
Manikin-based dental simulators segment is set to capture over 42.4% dental simulator market share by 2037. Manikin-based dental simulators offer a realistic and safe environment for students to practice numerous procedures which allows hands-on learning without the risk of hurting real patients. For example, in March 2021, Universal Simulation UK announced the world’s first portable haptic and VR simulator for dentists and practitioners. This invention is designed to support learners who are isolated, or unable to come to the university physically can continue practicing patient treatments virtually, at any time from the comfort of their hometowns.
Application (Dental Training & Education, Treatment Planning)
Dental training & education segment is projected to capture over 74.8% dental simulator market share by 2037. Many dental graduates globally are gaining interest in new approaches to dentistry education using suitable dental simulation units. New leanings and technology are constantly coming up with changes in education systems and bringing ideas such as simulation tools. For example, in December 2020, 123Dentist donated USD 1.25 million to build a new simulation and digital dentistry laboratory for the University of British Columbia (UBC). The UBC has set new laboratory to change dental education with state-of-the-art technology and allow students to learn complex clinical procedures with technologically innovative patient simulators.
