Dentists in the UK

So I hear they are rich people , making lots of money !

Whats a career path for a dentist in the UK? Considering someone immigrates from Pakistan or Elsewhere , what are the opportunities for them once they have passed the exam in the UK?

Re: Dentists in the UK

the maximum amount they can (as far as i've heard) make is between £60,000 to £80,000 on a yearly basis.

Re: Dentists in the UK

my estimation was a bit wrong…the average salary depends on the region and the average amount is between £50,000 to £72,000.

here’s a link and you can see the salary amount in different regions. Dentist Average Salary

This doesnt sound right :no: … I know someone here in the North West who has bought 2 half a million properties in cash :hayaa: and I have heard dentists are better off then the GP’s in the UK :hmmm:

the problem is , most of them dont give away their compensation :cb:
What do you reckon ?

Re: Dentists in the UK

Even with that they won’t be able to buy half a million properties in cash unless they were saving the money for the past 20 years. I think GPs and dentists have around the same salary probably dentist earn a bit more.

Re: Dentists in the UK

Yup the guy has around 12 years experience and I am thinking dentists definitely earn more then the GP’s :hmmm:

Re: Dentists in the UK

1 million cash **isn’t possible unless they’re dealing drugs and/or swindling taxes on the side or something lol.. (or lived somewhere like the Middle East for a number of years and managed to save a lot of money)..
**
1 million with mortgage
is obviously possible but even then u would have to be quite successful.. Most millionaires in London are business ppl rather than ‘academics’ like doctors and dentists who are comfortable but usually not in that bracket (tho there are exceptions of course eg. those who work in the top private places).. Even with a good wage remember how high the taxes are, you’re basically giving up half your income once you’re really doing well..%between%

Re: Dentists in the UK

Deebs not really … GP’s and Consultants are making mad money … and its party time for them when they are up North … Life isnt as expensive here .. so its all really savings and much more … One of my friends is a GP and his salary is 110K Plus ! that includes the amount of locum and all that crap …

What I am keen on finding out is , the income bracket of newly qualified Dentists in the UK :hmmm:

Re: Dentists in the UK

Depends if they are working in the NHS or go private.

Re: Dentists in the UK

any update regarding this?

Re: Dentists in the UK

Deeb,a I love your post. Basically, you said it all in one paragraph.

This goes the same with doctors who are registered with NHS or work at private hospitals.
