DENTAL SOFTWARE MARKET ANALYSIS

Global dental software market faces several challenges. Dental practices have been slow to adopt new technologies due to concerns regarding risks of cybersecurity breaches of sensitive patient data. High costs of installation and maintenance of dental software can also prohibit its uptake, especially among smaller private practices. Lack of training and technical support dissuades some dentists from implementing digital record-keeping systems. Achieving interoperability between different dental software remains an issue, restricting data mobility.

Market Opportunities: Emergence of cloud-based dental practice management and imaging solutions

Cloud software eliminates the need for large upfront investments in hardware and infrastructure. It allows dental practices of all sizes to access advanced features and functionalities traditionally available only to large enterprise customers. The low total cost of ownership along with flexibility and scalability offered by cloud makes it attractive for small and medium dental clinics. With cloud, dental practices can focus more on patient care rather than IT maintenance and upgrades. This enables more dentists to adopt practice management and imaging software.
