HPI offers a novel overview of the U.S. dental economy, combining findings from a panel of dentists with the latest economic data from government sources to explore dentists’ economic confidence, the demand for dental care, dental practice economics, and the dental job market. Economic data provide an important context to dentists’ self-reported experiences and perspectives.
Overall, data for Q2 2025 indicate that the dental economy is in a “holding pattern with the potential for slight headwinds in the coming months.”
Watch a recording of Marko Vujicic, PhD, ADA chief economist and vice president of HPI, summarizing the data and offering key takeaways in the video above.
