Dentist Pay & Work-Life Balance by State
Advertised-pay benchmarks and work-life-balance scores across 46 states with enough dentist listings to measure. Pay uses weighted monthly permanent-position medians over 13 calendar months where available, with cohort-median fallbacks—not pooled medians or a salary survey. Take-home figures deduct state income tax (Tax Foundation 2025) and adjust for local cost of living (BEA Regional Price Parities 2024); federal tax is uniform across states and omitted.
New Mexico leads at $291k, against a $174k median across measured states. Best work-life balance: West Virginia (7.1/10), Nebraska (7.1/10), Vermont (6.6/10).
