Growth Outlook:
Employment of dentists, including periodontists and other specialists, in the United States is projected to grow 4% from 2024 to 2034, which is about as fast as the average for all occupations. The aging population and increasing awareness of the link between periodontal health and systemic wellness are expected to drive demand for periodontal procedures, implant placement, and reconstructive oral surgeries. Additionally, clinics will require specialists to manage complex cases referred by general dentists.
