Depends on the doctor. Some make $80,000 per year while others can make over $1 million per year. It all depends on the doctor's specialty, location, and work ethic.

Keep in mind that, while a million bucks a year sounds like crazy good money, doctors have to complete a rigorous college program for 8 years, then complete a 4-8 year residency/fellowship program after college that probably required them to work 80-100 hours a week for all 4-8 years. So if they make a million a year, it's because they've worked hard to earn it

I think the ADA estimates average annual income around 140K. Some dentists who have been practicing for a while earn considerably more. New dentists can earn around 90-100K.

Busy practices gross over 1 million a year, with about 50 or 60% overhead. So the practice owner takes home over 500K, before taxes. BY FOWZIA SOWIDA
