Dental Office Manager Salary

How much does a dental office manager make? Depending on where you look at the salary data, the answer can vary. Glassdoor provides a pay range between $43,000 and $63,000 for dental office managers with top paying companies like Heartland Dental in Chandler or Aspen Dental in Goodyear. Salary.com shares that office managers make between $60k - $100k nationwide with the average coming in just under $80k.

The BLS shares salary information for office managers, but not specifically for dental offices. Those salaries are much higher than we see reflected in actual dental office salaries.

Keep in mind that the salary range for a Dental Office Manager can significantly fluctuate based on several crucial factors, such as level of education, certifications, additional competencies, and years of professional experience.
