An estimate. Job Bank pools every dental specialist with general dentists in one census-based code and reports a median of $110,000 and a top end of $228,000, counting part-timers and only employment income, not clinic profits. Specialists bill more than general dentists, and this site lists general dentists at about $160,000, so the typical figure here is set above that. Pediatric fees per visit are lower than for implants or root canals, so the range sits a little below the surgical specialties.
