Why Dentists Choose Texas

  • Lifestyle Variety: Whether you prefer Gulf Coast beaches, West Texas canyons, vibrant city life in Dallas-Fort Worth, or the peace of rural towns, Texas has you covered. Work-life balance comes easily in such a diverse state. With an abundance of sports, culture, food, and a strong community spirit, you’ll find a welcoming environment for every interest.
  • Lower Cost of Living: Texas is more affordable than states like California or Florida. With no state income tax, you keep more of your earnings for debt, a home, or investing in your future.
  • Meaningful Work: Millions in Texas live in underserved areas. Join CDP, help bridge care gaps, and transform patients’ lives, all while developing your clinical and leadership skills.
  • Career Growth: Texas has one of the largest dentist shortages in the U.S., a major advantage. Less competition means more patients. You’ll build skills faster here. At CDP, dentists are paid on production, not collections, allowing them to maximize income from day one.
  • High Earning Potential: Texas dentists average $184,000 annually; CDP dentists average $210,000 in their first year, with top performers exceeding $400,000. Production-based pay directly rewards your work.
