How we calculate this: we gather current dentist postings near Washington, DC from job boards across the web and keep only those where the employer states pay. Estimates made by job boards are left out. Each posting counts once at the midpoint of its range, converted to a yearly salary where needed (hourly and yearly are compared at 40 hours a week). It reflects what practices are advertising now — not a survey of what everyone currently earns.
