What oral surgeons make
Median
$352,220
Bottom tenth
$86,250
Top tenth
$622,640
The national median is $352,220 a year, the top tenth earn $622,640 or more and the bottom tenth $86,250 or less. That is the highest median of the dental occupations in the survey, ahead of prosthodontists at $311,180 and orthodontists at $289,140. The survey only counts surgeons paid a wage, so practice owners are largely missing from it.
