The U.S. dental tourism market is experiencing rapid growth as more Americans seek affordable, high-quality dental care abroad. According to the newly released “U.S. Dental Tourism Market Forecast to 2033” report from ResearchAndMarkets.com, the market is valued at $634.19 million in 2024 and is projected to reach $3.16 billion by 2033, reflecting a strong 19.7% CAGR.
The surge is driven primarily by significant cost savings. Many dental procedures—especially implants, cosmetic dentistry, and orthodontics—remain expensive in the U.S. and are often not fully covered by dental insurance. Patients are increasingly opting for care in countries such as Mexico, Costa Rica, Thailand, and Brazil, where treatments are substantially cheaper even after accounting for travel and lodging.
Long wait times for specialized procedures in the U.S. further push patients toward international alternatives. Meanwhile, improvements in global dental standards and accreditation have increased confidence in overseas treatment options. An emerging trend is the appeal of combining dental care with vacation travel, supported by online platforms that simplify researching clinics, comparing reviews, and booking appointments internationally.
