ADA data says dentists’ average income dropped by $17,000 in 2024.

American Dental Association (ADA) data indicates the average net income for general practice dentists dropped by over $17,000 in 2024, from $225,230 in 2023 to $207,980 in 2024, primarily due to practice expenses outpacing revenue. Dentists are also working slightly longer hours, and when adjusted for inflation, the income decrease is even more substantial.

Here’s why your business generated the same amount of revenue and you took home less!

Is there anything you can do about it in 2026?
