I'm wondering how many years after dental school/AEGD/GPR etc, will a typical dentist (general practice, specialist) be able to enjoy the rewards of his/her hard work in school and career? In other words, during the beginning years(I don't know how many), I'm sure paying off debts, living expenses, and "getting by", etc will be big money issues. So when do dentists start earning the bucks for the benz and the SUV, the 4 bedroom home for a family of 5, occasional vacations to Europe, children's college tuitions secured, golf country club memberships, etc, etc, etc..
Will a dental career support this kind of lifestyle, or are these ideals too high? What kind of lifestyle can a typical dentist expect? Any comments will be appreciated, and I apologize if I sound naive or superficial. thanks
