A modeled 2025 estimate with a 2026 projection — no published 2024 history for this role.
▲ +3.5% ’25→’26 est.
Modeled as a wide band around the verified General Dentist benchmark. Owner take-home is practice profit — driven by collections, overhead, and distributions — so the true figure ranges from roughly the employed-dentist median to well above it.
How we estimate this

- The 2025 estimate is derived from a documented, conservative model; the 2026 figure projects it forward.
