The market also saw a rise in customized insurance products tailored to specific demographic groups, such as seniors or families with young children, indicating a move towards more personalized offerings. The Dental Insurance Market is expected to continue its growth trajectory, fueled by several key factors. The increasing prevalence of dental disorders and a growing geriatric population with more complex dental needs will drive demand for comprehensive insurance coverage. Technological advancements, such as AI-powered diagnostic tools and teledentistry, may influence the types of services covered and the delivery models of dental care, potentially leading to new insurance product innovations.
