How many patients do dentists working in community clinics in states like California/New York see each day?

My health center in central CA wants you to see about 15 a day, which includes child prophy, recall exams, sealants, etc on top of operative, where your staff is doing much of the chair time in your non-working schedule column. Our salary scale starts around 140K.

In the health center I work at in WA we see approximately 20 patients a day. We run two chairs, an op. chair and an exam or recall chair.

I externed at one during dental school for 3 months. The doctors had base pay between 130k to 140k and depending on whether they surpassed yearly production they got bonuses. The doctors had 1-2 chairs and saw anywhere from 10-30 patients a day.
