The last couple of prosthodontists I went to were working four-day weeks and living very well. A friend was a salesperson for a company manufacturing the equipment used in those offices. In 2016, she told me her company estimated the two doctors' personal incomes from their practices were $350K and $450K.

Dentists have been able to avoid the bureaucracy that doctors offices have to deal with. I think there's just a lot less insurance coverage involved. The wife had a $10K implant (don't ask) done back in the teens, and she recently had a pair of implants that ran $12K (we live in a cheaper state now, and these were less complicated implants). Our dental insurance hardly put a dent in either of those charges.
