Frequently asked questions

What do dentists make in Los Angeles?

Employed dentists in the Los Angeles metro earn a verified BLS OEWS median of about $139,990. BLS wage data covers employees, so practice owners (who typically earn more) are not included.

Which metros are covered?

We cover 377 U.S. metro areas across 51 states and DC — every metro where the BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics program publishes wages for at least two dental occupations. Metros where BLS suppresses the data are not listed rather than estimated. Each metro shows a clearly-labeled figure; choose a role and search a city to see it.

Metros marked verified use BLS OEWS metro wage data; the rest are local estimates— the national benchmark scaled by each metro's cost-of-labor index. BLS wages count employed dentists only (practice owners are excluded), so a verified metro dentist median can sit well below an owner-inclusive figure — useful for an associate offer, not a practice-ownership income.
