Self-employed dentists in private practice tend to earn more than do salaried dentists, and a relatively large proportion of dentists is self-employed. Like other business owners, these dentists must provide their own health insurance, life insurance, and retirement benefits.
Dentists held about 150,000 jobs in 2004. Employment was distributed among general practitioners and specialists as follows:
| Dentists, general | 128,000 |
| Orthodontists | 10,000 |
| Oral and maxillofacial surgeons | 6,000 |
| Prosthodontists | 1,000 |
| Dentists, all other specialists | 5,000 |
About one third of dentists were self-employed and not incorporated. Almost all dentists work in private practice. According to ADA, 78 percent of dentists in private practice are sole proprietors, and 14 percent belong to a partnership. A few salaried dentists work in hospitals and offices of physicians.
