How much can a dental clinic earn a year？

The original digging number is included in the topic # 44 migrant workers.

In recent weeks, I have a toothache. According to past experience, either my gums are severely atrophied or my teeth are cracked and need to be filled. So I hung up the number of a famous dental hospital in Guangzhou with my mobile phone, which was particularly difficult to hang up. It was full in recent days and I could only hang up the number four days later.

At 7 o’clock this morning, it was drizzling in the sky. I set off for the hospital, filled out a form to take a temperature measurement, and wanted to know whether the dental insurance could be reported at the registration office. I saw a buddy in front of me paying money, the first one was more than 6,700, and the second one was more than 1,900. I was so scared that I almost wanted to go home, but I wanted to come all over again. The dentistry was so profitable that I had to dig it.

At 8: 30, there were a lot of people sitting at the door. The hospital was not big, but there were departments in the elevator. I was looking at the dental pulp department.

On a whim, I want to see the flow distribution of people in various departments at this time, and I ran a circle on the upper and lower floors:

6F Children’s Stomatology: 1 person

5F Orthodontics Department: 8 people, Dental Pulp Department: 8 people.

4F Implant and Prosthetic Department: 8 people, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery: 6 people.

1F Radiology Department: 5 people, Periodontology Department: 9 people.

(Not included in the treatment)

It’s my turn. After checking, it was concluded that a tooth needs to be filled. After paying the total fee of 305, I paid 200 medical insurance for reimbursement of 105. I just saw the expenses of various projects on the screen of the hall, and took a photo.

How to estimate the annual income of this hospital? It is known that the maximum number of doctors registered in a day is 30. From the registration applet, we can see that the number here is full almost every day, and we can see how many doctors there are in each department every day.

The number of patients per day can be calculated as follows:

Pediatric stomatology: 6 doctors *30 numbers =180 people.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery: 5 doctors *30 numbers =150 people

Orthodontics: 7*30=210 people

Dental and endodontic department: 9*30=270 people

Periodontal disease department: 5*30=150 people

Implant Restoration Section: 5*30=150 people

According to this number of people, the registration fee alone can earn 10 yuan *1110 people =11100 yuan per day, which is really cool!

The total income can be estimated if there is another per capita cost. My idea is to take the cost of the most common treatment items in each department instead of the per capita cost. For example, periodontal disease is tooth cleaning, and dental pulp is tooth filling. Combined with the cost photographed in the hall and online data, some common treatments, such as tooth cleaning, pulling out a wisdom tooth, applying fluoride to the whole mouth, filling a tooth, etc., cost about 500. Roughly speaking, if 500 yuan is taken as the per capita cost, then the hospital’s annual income.

500 yuan *1110 people/day *365 days = about 200 million.

This hospital is only a small branch. If it is the General Hospital, it is estimated that its income will double. According to the hospital’s WeChat WeChat official account, there are 50 doctors here, which means that each doctor brings 200 million /50=4 million in revenue every year.

With such a high per capita income, it can be inferred that the income of dentists should be high. Digging through the financial report of a dental A-share listed company, which has 21 dental hospitals in Zhejiang, there are several interesting data in the financial report:

For example, the annual revenues of the above four stomatological hospitals are 620 million, 390 million, 140 million and 40 million respectively, and the net profit margins are 40%, 28%, 28% and 16% respectively.

For example, 54.99% of the cost of stomatological hospital is labor cost, which proves the high income of dentists.

So how high is the income of dentists? I searched a lot of answers in Zhihu. The monthly salary of dentists in public hospitals in first-and second-tier cities is between 10,000 and 20,000, and 30,000 to 40,000 if they are deputy directors or above.

Dentists in private hospitals earn more. Here is an authoritative data, which comes from the dictation of the founder of a dentist online platform:

At present, private dental hospitals basically adopt the salary method of basic salary plus commission. The monthly income of dentists with lower income is about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, and the monthly income of dentists with higher income can reach 60,000 to 70,000 yuan. Some top dentists will have a higher commission, and may even break 500,000 yuan a month.

As we are now, we basically recruit doctors from some good public hospitals such as Huaxi Stomatology, and the success rate is still relatively high, because in private clinics, especially brand-operated private clinics, the treatment is also better, and the recognition of doctors in the industry is not worse than that in public hospitals.

He also mentioned that there is a great demand for dentists in China:

The ratio of dentists to population is only 1: 28,000, compared with 1: 1,000 in developed countries such as the United States, 1: 2,000 in Japan and 1: 4,000 in Western Europe, which fully shows that there is a great gap in the demand for dentists in China.

I really envy, envy and hate. The key dentist is still a profession that gets more and more popular as he gets older. He will not retire at the age of 35 like the siege lion, and he has a high sense of security!
