What denturists make

Job Bank median

$54,000

New grad, employed

$45,000

Established clinic owner

$122,000

Job Bank calls this job denturologist and reports a census median of $54,000 a year and a top end of $122,000. Most denturists are self-employed, and the census counts part-timers and new grads, so the median looks low. Job Bank's bottom figure is a census floor of about $33,000; a realistic first year working for someone else is closer to $45,000. Owners of a busy clinic earn well above the median.
