Thank you for putting this together, Joel It is probably worthwhile to mention that your "dollar" values are in Canadian dollars, if that is indeed the case In February 2023, $800K Canadian dollars equates to approximately $587,600 US dollars CheersI'm proud of you for the work you have put in to get where you are

I’m a dentist and have been out of dental school for a little over 3 years and I would say this seems pretty accurate as far as numbers go
Comment from : Bradleycsmith21

There is a pediatric dentist in my town that is a close family friend I shadowed him a good bit and eventually we got to the talk about salary He owns 2 practices and nets about 35 million a year However he works 5 days a week and his main practice sees about 130 patients a day He also only has 1 part time associate at this practice I’ve shadowed other dentists of all kinds of specialties and can say that he is the fastest and most skilled overall dentist I have ever seen So it just is about what you want to do and how hard you are willing to work

How much money dental grads owe on average and how long does it take to pay off?
Comment from : Lei Fu

It's not how much you make it what you save and invest My dentist drives a Range Rover the top of the line model I know he has lots of expanses running his office
Comment from : Marlin Shanklin

I have seen so many dentists with below-average manual dexterity messing up with patients' oral health Dexterity is something you are born with, and it doesn't improve much through training, so I hope more dental schools have higher standards checking on it

How much does a dentist make? That would depend on so many factors, the major one is how much of the dentist's time they are prepared to devote to work If you are not doing surgery, you are losing money The over heads can be crippling, but this is variable from a small clinic to a larger clinic The graduated dentist can take many years to catch up on the compound effect of losing at least 5 years of income and accumulating substantial debt Getting a good balance of work/life balance can be difficult If you work too much, your family life is diminished and your body will suffer "Dentist's back" is common, from working long hours with the head forward Finding a good spouse who understands that high income means long hours at the clinic, and they are prepared to do the lion's share of parenting Break even point can be around Thursday lunch time, after paying for staff wages, dental equipment, rent and supplies and taxes That is assuming that the dentist is fully booked and scheduled well for production I am a retired dentist of 45 years service and the above is based on my experience

Watching this made me slobber a bit and gave me funny tastes in my mouth like I was being worked on in the Dentist chair

Is it hard for someone to work in the US after doing their education in another country?
Comment from : Someone

So by your math if overhead is averaging 60 for working-owner practices, and associate gets 35, how can the owner get 20 passive profit? Plus associate is most likely not gonna be as productive as owner
Comment from : Andrew Shi

Money doesn’t bring happiness the stuff that money gets you can bring happines
Comment from : TheRealBunnyYT

Like MANY crafts I have seen doctors and dentist who coast and others that hustle The ones that hustle can make 5 times more than others Working long hours is the easiest way to directly hustle more
Comment from : Common Sense NOT too common

I just turned 49 I've worked at the same place as a mechanical engineer for 22 years now I don't work much overtime (43 hours/week is typical) Giving up years of happiness for double the money doesn't seem like something I would look back on and be happy about

Comment from : Eduardo Borges

This video is pretty spot on Very useful for a new grad I do worry about people hearing this and going into a profession that they end up hating It's really hard and not for everyone I love it but I have the personality for it and practice in a way that suits me You should do a gloom and doom video about what is hard about dentistry

After two years, go buy a GOOD rural practice I have rural dental practices listed for sale where AFTER debt service the buyer would make $550k+ a year Pay your student loans off in a year
Comment from : James A

It can be hard to sell a practice if you are a super dentist No one new grad can do what you do I need to have 3 different buyers to cash out, if I ever decide to do that A good GP, an orthodontist, and and a pediatric dentist (I’m a GP who is board certified in pedo) And my physical space isn’t even big enough to bring in an associatebrbrMy best year was a decade ago, I’m sorry to say I work 4 days a week now and I bill about 12 million I used to make somewhat more than thatI run my practice on about a 50 overhead COVID put a big hickey on my 2020 numbers but we are recovering it isn’t clear if we are past the point on COVID, howeverbrbrI don’t encourage anybody to own multiple practices, unless you want to be an entrepreneur more than being a dentist I once had 3 locations, and I don’t miss that one bitbrbrGood video Glad I ran across your channel

I think people do not want to discuss money because they do not want to be sized up brbrIn regards to pay, it is very locally dependent like Los Angeles vs Cedar Rapids
Comment from : Ben’s Wig

This guy needs to do a video for all the young dentists encouraging them to become insurance independent Delta Dental is Satan
Comment from : toniwonkanobi

As an established residential builder I do sometimes work for doctors and dentists So far I have had nothing but wonderful experiences working for them as they care a lot about people in general The ones I work for are very humble and caring people who are dedicated to their patients and work environments I have yet to work for any that are super wealthy and they seem watch their spending like most people do I give them a tremendous amount of respect and earn their trust and respect back
Comment from : sk22ng

Nice My Cousin and father are dentists I think my father got in at the perfect timing because undergrad and dental school was much cheaper than today I believe he paid it all off with minimum payments after 4-5 years of working He liked it when he first started but he absolutely dreads going to practice He does it for the money now brbrMy cousin on the other hand did the same but his education costs are 4x more than my fathers On top of that he has 75 interest on them He doesnt like it anymore and he's developing arthritis from operating so much He's worried he physically cant practice if his arthritis gets worse and he'll be stuck with a the huge burden of a debt while supporting a family without a dentist salary He also says it's no different than car mechanics, except if you mess up, youre going to court brbrBoth of them say healthcare is a scam nowadaysfor everyone! DONT GO FOR IT FOR THE MONEY They make good money but they are either too tired to too busy to spend it
Comment from : greg

Comment from : Tufioos

This is very discouraging Do not major in any STEM field I took difficult classes and got an MS and PhD in chemistry and the best I could do is making 70K in some crummy Pharma research lab What a mistake I made! Do not major in chemistry or biology!

The real money in dentistry is made in owning your own space, and renting it out to other dentists who will pay a fortune
Comment from : Speaking Truths

Wow compare that to optometry where the total of all docs working (including practice owner and associates) is about 30-33 of gross revenue Way more overhead it appears
