A Top-Ranked Job Choice
Work-life balance, financial reward key factors
for dentists
Figuring out the perfect career fit is a highly
personal decision. One job, however, seems to
stand out for offering both financial reward and
work-life balance: dentist. In fact, year after year,
U.S. News & World Report has identified it as the
No. 1 job.
There are numerous variables that define a
"great" job. Some people are motivated
financially, while others prioritize work-life
balance. The dental field offers both of these
benefits and more.

Flexible location. Dentists are needed virtually
everywhere. In fact, hundreds of counties across
the country are known as a "dental deserts,"
meaning they have been classified as a dental
health professional shortage area by the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services.
Support systems. Many new dentists are
surprised by how much of their workload involves
tasks outside their area of expertise and interest.
However, dental support organizations like Aspen
Dental Management, Inc. help dentists with front-
office support, staffing, marketing and other non-
clinical tasks so dentists can focus on patient
care. This approach helps to ensure dentists are
also able to develop their careers and pursue
practice ownership, all while maintaining a
positive work-life balance. Learn more at

Salary and stature. Years of training tend to pay
off for dentists. The average salary for a dentist is
$173,000, according to the Bureau of Labor
Statistics. Dentists also tend to command respect
for their expertise due to their education and
training, similar to others in the medical field.
Community service. Because oral health is a
critical part of overall health, dentists are directly
contributing to an improved quality of life in their
communities. This is especially true of those who
are part of a dental support organization like
Aspen Dental Management, Inc. that gives
dentists and team members an opportunity to
provide free dental care to veterans through its
Healthy Mouth Movement. These dentists are
also able to increase the amount of time they
deliver dental services and at lower prices,
thereby improving access to dental care to wider
segments of the communities in which they
practice.
Independence. Dental practices, including those
supported by a dental support organization, are
often operated by either a single dentist or small
group of dentists, which allows them flexibility and
autonomy.
Gender parity. Prior to 1980, women comprised
less than 3 percent of all dentists, according to
research published in Dental Economics. Today,
women represent 27 percent of the industry, and
this shift is quickly becoming more pronounced as
almost half of all recent dental school graduates
are female, according to the American Dental
Association. In fact, 40 percent of dentists at
Aspen Dental-branded practices are women
Considering that most people spend the majority
of every week at work, it's important to find the
right mix for fulfillment that goes beyond a
paycheck, and the benefits for dentists who are
part of dental support organizations can lead to
greater potential job satisfaction.
