The demand for "Same-Day Dentistry" continues to be the primary driver of the US market. As of 2026, chairside CAD/CAM systems hold the largest market share in the US, as patients increasingly choose dental practices based on their ability to provide crowns, veneers, and inlays in a single visit.
This trend is supported by the development of ultra-fast sintering furnaces and high-translucency zirconia. What used to be an overnight laboratory process can now be completed in-office in under 30 minutes. Dentists are leveraging this technology not just for crowns, but for "digital smile design" and clear aligner attachments, creating a high-tech patient experience that fosters trust and reduces the anxiety associated with traditional temporary restorations.
