The financial reality of dental practice ownership and associate earnings is often misunderstood. In this revealing discussion with dental accountancy expert Johnny Minford, we uncover the true earnings of UK dentists, based on the latest NASDAL figures.
Surprisingly, NHS practices are showing slightly higher profits than private practices—£166,000 versus £162,000 per principal—challenging conventional wisdom. Johnny explains how private practice profits have declined from post-pandemic highs, while NHS practices have maintained steady growth despite recruitment challenges.
We also delve into the earnings gap between associates, with private practice associates earning £105,000 compared to £74,000 for NHS counterparts. But earnings are more than just numbers—they’re influenced by lifestyle, working hours, and specialised services.
One of the most eye-opening findings is the geographical disparity in earnings. Dentists in London earn approximately 33% less than their colleagues in regions like East Anglia, Scotland, and the Northeast—an unexpected insight into the factors driving regional income differences.
As the dental profession continues to evolve, we explore how diversification of income streams is reshaping the financial landscape. The percentage of predominantly NHS practices is falling, reflecting a broader shift in strategy.
