A dentists income is based off of how many patients he/she sees in a day. They can work 1 hour a week and not make squat, they can work 40 hours a week and make good - excellent money, depending on the treatment, how much you charge, what materials you use, what kind of staff you hire. If you decide to not refer patients to specialists and learn to do endodontics and oral surgery with continued studies and education, you can earn even more. General dentists do pretty well even with refering patients out to specialist, though.
how many hours does a dentist work per day?
Work environment. Most dentists are solo practitioners, meaning that they own their own businesses and work alone or with a small staff. Some dentists have partners, and a few work for other dentists as associate dentists. Most dentists work 4 or 5 days a week. Some work evenings and weekends to meet their patients' needs. The number of hours worked varies greatly among dentists. Most full-time dentists work between 35 and 40 hours a week. However, others, especially those who are trying to establish a new practice, work more. Also, experienced dentists often work fewer hours. It is common for dentists to continue in part-time practice well beyond the usual retirement age.Source: U.S. Department of Labor
