Dental burs are used to cut hard tissue tooth or bone. They are made of steel, stainless steel, tungsten carbide, and diamond grit. There can be a bewildering range of dental burs in any dental catalogue, but for essential veterinary use, only a few burs are needed. All burs have a shank and a head. Increasing geriatric population, growing burden of dental diseases, and rising demand for dental procedures in dental implants are among the prominent factors driving the US dental burs market growth. However, the limited reimbursements are hampering the growth of the market. Apart from growth drivers, the report covers the US dental burs market trends and their foreseeable impact during the forecast period. 

The increasing focus on body aesthetics, surging aging population, and rising awareness about oral hygiene are a few primary factors propelling the demand for dental cosmetic surgeries. Further, the US is renowned for its high standards of dental care, with Americans giving precedence to their dental health and appearance, which has resulted in a readiness to invest heavily. Aesthetic procedures are no longer restricted to only the rich and famous people. A large middle-class population also undergoes these procedures due to the high urge to have enhanced aesthetic appeals. The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) is the primary dental resource for patients. According to the American Society for Plastic Surgery (ASPS), cosmetic dentistry experienced a recent boom, with a 47% increase in procedures performed for people aged 51–64 years. Further, the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) has been conducting the biennial State of the Cosmetic Dentistry Industry Survey over the last 16 years. A survey conducted by the AACD in 2022 stated that cosmetic procedures will continue to thrive with growing number of patients seeking cosmetic treatments. As per the Bureau of Labor Statistics, dental cosmetic procedures are projected to increase by 19% from 2016 to 2026. Dental procedures necessitates the use of dental burs owing to the benefits they provide in reducing procedure time and enhancing patient comfort with less noise and vibration. Additionally, drills facilitate access to hard-to-reach areas, supporting complex procedures and maintaining oral health through preventive care. Thus, a noticeable demand for drills and burs is observed across the country.

The product type segment of the US dental burs market is subsegmented into diamond dental burs drill, carbide steel dental burs, and others. The diamond dental burs drill segment held the largest market share in 2023. Diamond dental burs are crucial in modern dental surgery. These are constructed with finely graded diamond particles and are designed for precision cutting and shaping the hard enamel and dentin, making them indispensable tools in any dental practice.

Advantages of Diamond Dental Burs

1. Exceptional Cutting Efficiency: Diamond burs excel in material removal, allowing for quick and accurate cavity preparations or tooth contouring for restorations. This efficiency shortens procedure time and improves patient satisfaction.

2. Longevity and Cost-Effectiveness: Unlike traditional carbide burs, diamond burs have a longer lifespan due to their durable composition, thereby reducing the frequency of replacements and providing significant cost savings over time for dental practices.

3. Versatility Across Procedures: Ideal for a wide range of applications—from restorative dentistry to cosmetic enhancements—diamond burs can be utilized in preparing teeth for crowns, performing veneer placements, and even during implant surgeries.

4. Enhanced Safety: The design of diamond burs minimizes heat generation during use, reducing the risk of thermal injury to surrounding tissues and improving patient comfort.

Based on application, the market is segmented into restorative dentistry, orthodontics, endodontics, periodontics, and oral surgery. The periodontics segment held the largest share of the market in 2023. Periodontics is a branch of dentistry that focuses on preventing, diagnosing, and treating gum diseases. With the increasing prevalence of gum issues, dental practices are experiencing a higher demand for treatments such as scaling, root planning, and surgical interventions. Dental drills and burs play a crucial role in periodontics to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of procedures. High-speed drills enable periodontists to perform precise access surgeries for gum grafts and flap procedures, reducing patient discomfort and treatment time. This efficiency allows dentists to treat more patients, leading to increased revenue. Carbide and diamond burs are essential for tasks such as debridement and shaping bone or gum tissue. Carbide burs are excellent for initial cutting and shaping, while diamond burs provide a smoother finish, essential for post-surgical healing. The increased durability of these tools results in less frequent replacements, contributing to cost savings for the practice. By investing in high-quality dental burs, periodontists can improve their treatment outcomes and enhance patient satisfaction. This focus on quality not only boosts a practice's reputation but also encourages referrals, ultimately leading to sustained growth in a competitive market.

By end users, the market is categorized into hospitals, dental clinics, and others. The dental clinics segment dominated the market in 2023. Dental clinics refer to commercial clinics and operating workrooms that engage in various dental activities and procedures. These clinics comprise full-service dental services that use a wide variety of implants, including crowns, bridges, flexible and cast dentures. Dental clinics are gaining popularity as they provide quick and accurate results on the same-day turnaround in many situations.  Moreover, dental clinics provide all kinds of dental treatment services, from diagnosis to implant placement, restoration, and maintenance. They offer treatments such as periodontics, orthodontics, dental implants, teeth whitening, preventive dentistry, and crowns and bridges. For example, Coast Dental is a dental service provider clinic with multiple locations across Florida, Georgia, and Texas. The clinic offers various services such as restorative, orthodontic, and endodontic services, as well as exams and cleanings. There is an increasing preference for dental clinics for treating oral conditions due to their low cost and individualized care. Moreover, the establishment of new dental clinics is expected to boost healthcare services demand from clinics in the future.
